Full Job Description

About the role

We're looking for an Electrical Engineer to own the design of electronic hardware from concept through prototype and into production. You will work alongside our cofounder / CTO who earned 7 patents for electronics. The Electrical Engineer will develop product requirements into schematics, circuits, and manufacturable boards, and oversee each through verification and test. This role is best suited for a skilled engineer who wants to move fast and help pioneer the field of electronics in the age of AI.

Key responsibilities
  • Design analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuits from requirements and specifications.
  • Produce schematic capture and drive PCB layout (directly or in partnership with layout engineers), including component selection, footprints, and BOM management.
  • Develop and perform circuit simulation and analysis (e.g. SPICE), covering power, signal integrity, timing, and thermal considerations.
  • Design power supplies, sensor interfaces, communication interfaces (I²C, SPI, UART, USB, Ethernet, etc.), and microcontroller/processor subsystems.
  • Bring up and debug prototypes in the lab using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other bench equipment.
  • Collaborate with firmware, mechanical, verification, and test engineers throughout the development cycle.
  • Prepare design documentation, review packages, and support Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and cost reduction efforts.
  • Support compliance activities (EMC/EMI, safety, regulatory) as designs mature.


Required qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in EE or equivalent experience.
  • 3+ years of hands-on electronic circuit and PCB design experience.
  • Proficiency with a schematic / PCB design tool (e.g. Altium, Cadence, KiCad, etc).
  • Solid grounding in analog and digital fundamentals, power electronics, and high-speed design concepts.
  • Comfortable debugging hardware at the bench with standard lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, etc).


Preferred qualifications
  • Master's in Electrical Engineering
  • Proficiency using Ansys HFSS, SIwave, Icepak and CST is a plus.
  • Experience taking products through the full lifecycle to volume production.
  • Familiarity with signal-integrity and power-integrity analysis tools.
  • Scripting ability (e.g. Python) for design automation or data analysis.
  • Exposure to EMC/regulatory compliance testing.
