EE Hardware Engineer

Roguebeam is a startup developing advanced phased array systems for communications and radar applications. We design and manufacture complete systems in-house—RF, antenna, digital, and DSP—giving our engineers end-to-end ownership of the technology and a direct line of sight from algorithm to deployed system. We’re early, we’re growing fast, and the people who join us now will shape both the technology and the company.

About the Role

We're looking for an Electrical Engineer to own the entire lifecycle of electronics hardware that will form the backbone of our phased array products. You will be part of a multidisciplinary team, interact with software, RF, antenna, mechanical, and thermal engineers, and actively participate in system trades and product engineering. You will work from concept through production, requiring strong engineering fundamentals and hands-on involvement.

Responsibilities

• Develop electronics (power supply, high-speed digital communication/interface, etc.) for phased arrays with a strong emphasis on reliability across the full product lifecycle.
• Participate in overall system trades with other engineers (RFIC, antenna, thermal, mechanical, layout, etc.).
• Own the functional requirements of electrical systems, lead schematic capture, component selection, and collaborate with PCB layout designers.
• Own rapid prototyping and bench-verification of various electrical subsystems.
• Lead/contribute to fully functional phased array hardware bring-up, test, troubleshooting, and integration onto different platforms (satellite, drone, ground vehicles, etc.).
• Lead/contribute to production, in-field performance monitoring, and documentation of complex phased array products for different customers.
• Provide hands-on support through the product lifecycle.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical or computer engineering, physics, or a related field.
• 1+ years of experience in electronics circuits or hardware design (internships or thesis acceptable).
• Familiarity with basic lab equipment (oscilloscope, logic analyzer, power supplies, etc.).

Preferred Qualifications

• 2+ years of professional experience or a Master’s degree in electrical engineering.
• 2+ years of professional experience in prototyping, troubleshooting, and debugging electronics/PCBA.
• 2+ years of experience in mixed-signal circuit boards from concept through production using processors, FPGAs, Ethernet, multi-GHz Serdes, DRAM interfaces (DDR4 or DDR5), I2C, SPI, OPAMP, ADCs/DACs.
• Working experience with programming languages (Python, C/C++) for real-time scripting during bring-up in the lab and development of test procedures for production.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, start-up atmosphere with extreme ownership.
• Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written.
