Senior Electrical Engineer

About the role

The Senior Electrical Engineer contributes to the design, development, and validation of circuit boards and electrical subsystems for automotive LiDAR systems. This role participates in the product development lifecycle, applying strong board-level design skills and hands-on problem solving across development and integration phases.

Responsibilities

• Own the design and development of circuit boards for automotive LiDAR products, from concept through production release
• Participate in board-level architecture decisions, schematic development, component selection, and design tradeoff analysis for mixed-signal, power, control, and interface circuits
• Collaborate with mechanical, firmware, systems, optics, manufacturing, test, quality, and supply chain teams to support successful product integration
• Execute hardware bring-up, debug, integration, validation, and characterization activities in both laboratory and system-level environments
• Develop and execute test plans to verify performance, functionality, reliability, and design robustness
• Investigate and resolve design, integration, and manufacturing issues through structured root cause analysis and corrective action, with support from senior engineers as needed
• Apply design for manufacturability (DFM), design for test (DFT), and design for reliability (DFR) practices throughout the product lifecycle
• Review PCB layouts to verify implementation of electrical requirements, including power integrity, signal integrity, grounding, thermal considerations, and EMI mitigation
• Generate and maintain technical documentation including design specifications, schematics, test reports, engineering change documentation, and release artifacts
• Support product sustainment activities, including component changes, obsolescence management, supplier issues, yield improvement, and continuous product improvement
• Participate in design reviews and contribute to improving team processes and best practices

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
• 5-10 years of experience in electrical hardware development, with demonstrated experience in board-level design and product development
• Solid experience with schematic capture, circuit analysis, component selection, and PCB development processes
• Experience contributing to products through multiple phases of the development lifecycle, including design, integration, validation, and production
• Hands-on lab skills including board bring-up, debugging, failure analysis, and use of standard test equipment such as oscilloscopes, power supplies, DMMs, and logic analyzers
• Experience with analog, digital, mixed-signal, and power circuit design
• Working knowledge of hardware development best practices, including design reviews, risk reduction, and documentation discipline
• Strong written and verbal communication skills

Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
• Exposure to SI/PI analysis using HyperLynx or equivalent tools
• Familiarity with complex sensing, imaging, or electro-optical systems
• Experience with schematic capture and PCB layout using Altium Designer
• Exposure to environmental, reliability, or compliance testing
• Familiarity with automotive product development processes, requirements, or standards
• Experience working with contract manufacturers or supporting production activities

Benefits

• Competitive compensation and equity program
• Choice between an HSA Medical plan with 100% employer-paid premiums for employees and generous contributions or a Buy-Up PPO Medical plan
• Buy-Up PPO Dental plan 100% employer-paid for employees
• Vision coverage 100% employer-paid for employees
• 401(k) plan with company match to help you save for your future (50% of your contributions up to the first 6% of your eligible pay)
• Generous time off package including a flexible vacation program as well as incidental personal/sick days and standard holidays
• Supplemental pay for Parental Leave
• Company-paid basic life and AD&D insurance and long-term disability
