Full Job Description
Position Summary
We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Senior Electrical Engineer with deep expertise in low-noise analog and mixed-signal design and printed circuit board (PCB) design and development to join our multidisciplinary engineering team. This individual will play a critical role in the design, layout, integration, and validation of complex PCBs that support our next-generation biological sensing platform.
The ideal candidate will have strong experience in low-noise mixed-signal PCB design, signal integrity, power integrity, and system-level integration. This role requires close collaboration with firmware, mechanical, bioengineering, and systems teams to deliver robust, manufacturable, and high-performance hardware solutions from concept through production. About the Role
Reports to: VP of Technology and Development
Team: 4 Engineer plus consultants
Stage: Full product cycle but starting with prototyping
First-year focus: Prototype sensors
Key Responsibilities
Lead the design and development of complex, multilayer PCBs for advanced instrumentation systems, including low-noise, picoamp-level sensing electronics.
Architect low-noise, mixed-signal circuit designs including analog front ends, power management, data acquisition, and embedded processing systems.
Collaborate with SW and HW engineers as well as external vendors to ensure seamless hardware-software integration and instrument development.
Develop and maintain comprehensive documentation including schematics, layout files, validation reports, and specifications.
Drive design reviews, design for manufacturability (DFM), and design for testability (DFT) best practices.
Contribute to intellectual property generation and technical strategy discussions.
Basic Qualifications
B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
5+ years of industry experience in PCB design and hardware development.
Demonstrated expertise in multilayer PCB design for low-noise analog and mixed-signal systems.
Deep understanding of signal integrity, power integrity, grounding strategies, and EMI/EMC mitigation.
Hands-on experience with board bring-up, debugging, and lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers).
Experience taking products from prototype through manufacturing.
Nice-to-Haves
Experience with low-noise electrophysiology, patch-clamp, or nanopore instrumentation.
Experience designing electronics for scientific instrumentation, medical devices, or life sciences platforms.
Familiarity with FPGA-based systems and embedded processors.
Experience with high-density interconnect (HDI) design and fine-pitch components.
Knowledge of regulatory compliance standards (e.g., CE, FCC, IEC).
Experience working in early-stage or startup environments.
The salary range for this role is $108,000 - $176,000. Compensation for the role will depend on a number of factors, including a candidate's qualifications, skills, competencies, and experience. FL110 currently offers healthcare coverage, annual incentive program, retirement benefits and a broad range of other benefits. Compensation and benefits information is based on FL110's good faith estimate as of the date of publication and may be modified in the future.
