Staff Electrical Engineer
Design and implement electronic systems and PCBAs spanning analog, digital, and power domains. Collaborate cross-functionally to prototype, validate, and transition designs to production. Requires 7+ years of electrical engineering experience and a BS in EE or related field.
About the job
Responsibilities
- Specify, design, and implement electronic systems at both the board and full-system level, spanning analog, digital, and high-power circuits.
- Own the architecture, design, and documentation of system wiring and harness solutions.
- Drive cross-functional collaboration with mechanical, firmware, software, and systems engineers to define requirements, build prototypes to validate designs, develop production designs, and troubleshoot issues.
- Define the strategy for building and maintaining test setups that the hardware and software teams use during development.
- Lead and perform reviews of specifications, schematics, layouts, test plans, and results.
- Create and maintain design documentation to support knowledge transfer across teams.
- Define the strategy for manufacturing and end-of-line testing, lead execution, and ensure successful handoff to the manufacturing team.

- End-to-end PCBA design experience: specification, design, simulation, layout, prototyping, validation, and manufacturing.
- Strong understanding of analog, digital, and power circuits.
- Experience with microcontrollers and communication interfaces (USB, I2C, SPI, etc.).
- Proficiency with test and debug techniques for troubleshooting at the circuit and system level using tools such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other bench equipment.
Preferred
- Experience with Altium Designer.
- Experience hand-building PCBAs and wiring harnesses for prototype systems.
- Experience with in-circuit testing of PCBAs.
- Experience with electromagnetic compliance (EMC) testing.
- Experience with mechatronic electrical systems.
- Track record of taking electromechanical products from concept to production.
- Ability to work with the firmware team to implement low-level drivers for your boards.
