On-siteEngineeringFull-time
Key Responsibilities
- Architect and develop analog and mixed-signal electronics for compact, high-performance hardware modules, using TIAs, ADCs, precision current sources, and power supplies like LDOs and switching regulators.
- Own designs from concept through production, including schematic capture, component selection, and PCB layout in collaboration with layout engineers.
- Ensure signal integrity, power integrity, and EMI/EMC compliance across high-speed and noise-sensitive interfaces.
- Define and execute bring-up, characterization, and validation plans (e.g., DVT, EVT), with a focus on robustness, repeatability, and manufacturability.
- Analyze design trade-offs (performance, cost, power, integration complexity) in the context of tightly constrained product architectures.
- Partner closely with system architects, mechanical engineers, and firmware teams to ensure seamless integration and system-level reliability.
Qualifications
- Experience: 7+ years in hands-on hardware development, with end-to-end ownership of systems that shipped at scale.
- Execution: Demonstrated ability to deliver high-reliability designs under tight constraints on power, cost, form factor, and schedule.
- Technical Strengths: Deep expertise in low-noise analog and high-speed digital design. Strong grounding in signal/power integrity, high-density interconnect, and EMI mitigation techniques. Familiarity with high-volume design-for-manufacturing (DFM), reliability testing, and yield optimization.
- Tools & Skills: Proficient in schematic capture and simulation (e.g., SPICE), with working knowledge of Altium or similar. Experience with SI/PI simulation tools (e.g., HyperLynx, SiWave) and measurement tools (GHz-range scopes, VNAs, spectrum analyzers). Familiarity with board-level integration of FPGAs, microcontrollers, and custom analog ASICs.
- PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS: Experience with high-speed ADCs, custom analog IC interfaces, or photonics-related electronics. Knowledge of flex and rigid-flex PCB design. Familiarity with Verilog-AMS or mixed-signal modeling. Exposure to Verilog HDL or FPGA development. Experience designing for high-reliability or harsh environments (e.g., automotive, aerospace).
Benefits Package
- Competitive base salary and a meaningful equity package.
- Comprehensive health benefits (Medical, Dental, Vision).
- Unlimited PTO and paid company holidays.
- Team events and company meetups.
