Electrical Engineer, Analog & Mixed-SignalLocation: NYC
The OpportunityWe're looking for an early-career hardware engineer who wants to build real skills on a foundational technology, fast. You'll work alongside senior engineers on the analog and mixed-signal electronics behind our LiDAR modules - getting hands-on with schematic design, lab bring-up, and validation from day one, with direct mentorship and room to grow into greater ownership.
Key Responsibilities- Support analog and mixed-signal circuit design - TIAs, ADCs, precision current sources, and power supplies (LDOs, switching regulators) - under the guidance of senior engineers.
- Assist with schematic capture, component selection, and PCB layout coordination for hardware modules.
- Execute bring-up, characterization, and validation testing (EVT/DVT) against defined test plans, and document results clearly.
- Run signal integrity, power integrity, and basic EMI/EMC checks, with senior engineer review.
- Build hands-on proficiency with GHz-range oscilloscopes, VNAs, spectrum analyzers, and other precision lab equipment.
- Collaborate day-to-day with system architects, mechanical engineers, and firmware teams on integration tasks.
Qualifications- Experience: 0-3 years of hands-on hardware experience (internships, co-ops, and substantial academic or personal project work count).
- Education: BS or MS in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
- Technical Strengths:
- Solid grounding in analog and digital circuit design fundamentals.
- Comfort working in a lab environment and eagerness to build hands-on measurement skills.
- Tools & Skills:
- Exposure to schematic capture tools (e.g., Altium or similar) and basic SPICE simulation.
- Familiarity with fundamental test equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies).
Preferred Qualifications- Coursework or project experience in photonics, optics, or sensing systems.
- Exposure to PCB layout, FPGA/microcontroller integration, or Verilog/Verilog-AMS.
- Personal projects, competition teams (e.g., robotics, motorsports, CubeSat), or research involving analog or RF hardware.
- A demonstrated bias toward hands-on problem-solving and fast iteration in a startup environment.
Benefits Package- Competitive base salary and a meaningful equity package.
- Comprehensive health benefits (Medical, Dental, Vision).
- Unlimited PTO and paid company holidays.
- Team events and company meetups.
