Electrical Engineer

ABOUT THE ROLE Join a multidisciplinary engineering team developing terahertz imaging technology for defense and public safety applications. In this hands-on role, you will own mixed-signal board bring-up, debugging, and integration, working closely with systems, FPGA, firmware, and mechanical teams. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Lead board bring-up, validate power sequencing, and integrate subsystems across multiple board designs. - Debug signal integrity, power, and RF performance issues, identify root causes, and drive design iterations. - Coordinate schematic updates and layout reviews with an external design partner, 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 - 3 to 7 years of experience in mixed-signal hardware bring-up, debugging, and board-level integration. - A bachelor's or master's degree in Electrical Engineering. - End-to-end PCB design experience, including schematics and layout in Altium, controlled-impedance routing, and power protection circuits. - Hands-on experience with ADCs, DACs, DC/DC converters, RF interfaces, power sequencing, signal integrity, and mixed-signal validation. - Experience independently identifying and solving hardware problems, with a willingness to work across disciplines. - Background in telecom, radar, complex sensing systems, or a fast-paced startup environment is useful. FPGA bring-up experience, including Petalinux or AMD Kria SOM, is also useful. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS Base salary: $160,000 to $180,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is not available. Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship and meet applicable U.S. person requirements. LOCATION On-site, five days per week in Santa Clara, California, United States.
