Electrical Engineer II (Analog & Mixed Signal)

About the role

Echodyne offers the world's first compact solid-state true beam-steering radar for a wide range of industries and applications. Our high-performance radars work in all weather and are designed for autonomous vehicles, uncrewed aircraft & drones, and security of borders, critical infrastructure, and smart cities. The company combines patented metamaterials technology with powerful software to create radar sensors with unprecedented performance at commercial price points.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to the maturation of Analog and Digital/Mixed-Signal (AMS) subsystems for advanced radar systems, ensuring technical excellence and strong cross-functional collaboration.
• Design, verify, transition to manufacturing, and support the long-term health of AMS designs.
• Lead and contribute to design-shaping discussions and technical reviews with multidisciplinary teams to develop robust radar architectures, resolve complex technical challenges, and align work with program objectives and Design for Excellence (DFX) principles.
• Provide technical expertise in AMS circuit design, simulation, and analysis to guide design execution, verification planning, and risk mitigation.
• Contribute to root-cause investigations, trade studies, and continuous improvement initiatives to enhance subsystem performance throughout the product lifecycle.

Requirements

• Background in Analog & Mixed-Signal Circuit Design:
  • Strong foundation in analog and mixed-signal circuit theory and hands-on experience developing high-reliability commercial or consumer products.
  • Understanding of core analog and digital building blocks including operational amplifiers, logic gates, clock buffers, level shifters, power management ICs, current mirrors, charge pumps, oscillators, and voltage regulators.
  • Understanding of low-speed signaling protocols (e.g., SPI, I2C).
  • Skilled in circuit design and simulation using tools such as Altium Designer (or equivalent) and SPICE-like tools.
  • Understanding of component selection and layout optimization, balancing efficiency, thermal performance, and signal integrity.
  • Practical experience applying principles of Design for Manufacturability, Assembly, and Test to improve product quality, testability, and yield throughout the design lifecycle.
• Strong Testing & Verification Background:
  • Hands-on experience in board bring-up, Acceptance Testing, and Design Verification of PCBs, ensuring seamless transitions from prototype to production.
  • Skilled in debugging and troubleshooting circuits using oscilloscopes, function generators, logic analyzers, digital multimeters, and other lab equipment.
• BS Degree in Engineering, Material Science, or Physics.
• 4 or more years' experience in design of printed circuit assemblies for mixed-signal applications.
• Eligibility to handle export-controlled information (ITAR/EAR). Echodyne's technology is export controlled by the U.S. Government, requiring evaluation of an applicant's eligibility to handle such information or obtain required Government authorizations.
