Electrical Engineer

About the Role

Join a small engineering team developing terahertz imaging technology for public safety applications. In this hands-on role, you will own mixed-signal board bring-up, debugging, and integration, working closely with systems, FPGA, firmware, and mechanical teams.

Responsibilities

• Lead board-level bring-up, power sequencing validation, and subsystem integration across multiple board designs.
• Debug signal integrity, power, and RF performance issues, identify root causes, and drive design iterations.
• Coordinate schematic updates and layout reviews with an external design firm, and manage boards through fabrication, characterization, and validation.
• Work with FPGA, firmware, and systems engineers to validate subsystem and system-level integration.
• Develop traceability and test procedures to support increased production volumes.

Requirements

• Three to seven years of experience in mixed-signal hardware bring-up, debugging, and board-level integration.
• A bachelor's or master's degree in Electrical Engineering.
• End-to-end board design experience, including schematics and layout in Altium, controlled-impedance routing, and power protection circuits.
• Experience with ADCs, DACs, DC/DC converters, RF interfaces, power sequencing, signal integrity, and complex PCBAs.
• Ability to independently identify and solve hardware problems, with flexibility to work across disciplines.

Preferred Qualifications

• Background in telecom, radar, or complex sensing systems.
• FPGA bring-up experience, including Petalinux or AMD Kria SOM.

Compensation & Benefits

• Base salary: $160,000 to $180,000 annually.
• Visa sponsorship: Not available.

Location

On-site, five days per week in Santa Clara, California.
