Senior Electrical Engineer - Design

What you'll do

Design

• Design high-reliability & high-safety criticality hardware for both commercial and military autonomous vehicles.
• Generate design documentation for design maintainability, such as stress analysis, power budgets, firmware/hardware interfaces, SI and PI analysis, component and design trades.
• Provide technical leadership on projects to guide a small, focused team of electrical engineers to develop new hardware designs from concept through production.

Validation

• Suggest and perform prototyping testing for risk-reduction of circuits at the component, subsystem, and system levels.
• Perform validation testing of designs through analysis, simulation, and hardware testing.
• Conduct hardware bring-up, debugging, and validation testing at board and subsystem levels. Maintain design verification test matrix.

Collaboration

• Participate in interdisciplinary design teams and design reviews.
• Work cross functionally with systems, safety, software, test, other engineering groups and procurement throughout all phases of the product development lifecycle.

Long-Term Support

• Identify and implement improvements of designs to reduce cost, increase yield, and improve throughput.
• Provide production build support for the manufacturing of prototypes through volume ramp-up to production.
• Mentor and train junior engineers.

Minimum Qualifications

• B.S. or M.S. Degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering.
• 6+ years of hardware design experience.
• Design and simulation of complex digital and analog circuits, using circuit simulator, signal integrity and power integrity tools like LTSpice and HyperLynx.
• Experience working with analog and high-speed (3GHz+) digital signals.
• Experience designing high power and high-speed PCB stackups for high-reliability / high-safety criticality systems.
• Excellent problem-solving skills, hands-on abilities, and working knowledge of common test equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers and VNAs.
• Familiarity with design, analysis and manufacturing standards associated with complex multi-layer PCBs.
• Ability to solve complex technical problems independently.
• Ability to work cross-functionally.
• Experience with design for cost, test and manufacturing.
• Experience with Altium Designer, OrCAD, or similar schematic capture / PCB Layout software.
