Electrical Engineer

ABOUT THE ROLE Join a multidisciplinary engineering team developing terahertz imaging systems for the defense and security sector. In this hands-on role, you will lead mixed-signal board bring-up, debugging, and system integration, working across hardware, FPGA, firmware, and mechanical engineering. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Lead board-level bring-up, power-sequencing validation, and subsystem integration across multiple board designs. - Diagnose signal integrity, power, and RF performance issues, identify root causes, and drive design iterations. - Coordinate schematic updates and layout reviews with an external design firm, from fabrication through characterization and validation. - Work with FPGA, firmware, and systems engineers to validate subsystem and system-level integration. - Develop traceability and test procedures to support increased production volume. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - Bachelor's or master's degree in Electrical Engineering and 3 to 7 years of relevant experience. - Experience owning mixed-signal board design from schematic through layout in Altium, including controlled-impedance routing and power protection circuits. - Hands-on experience bringing up and debugging complex PCB assemblies, including power sequencing, signal integrity, and mixed-signal validation. - Knowledge of ADCs, DACs, DC/DC converters, RF interfaces, high-speed digital design, and power distribution. - Ability to work independently, identify problems, and contribute across multiple engineering disciplines. - Experience in telecom, radar, or complex sensing systems is beneficial. FPGA bring-up experience, including Petalinux or AMD Kria SOM, is also useful. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS Base salary is $160,000 to $180,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is not available. Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship. LOCATION On-site, five days per week in Santa Clara, California.
