Full Job Description
Join our fast-paced and passionate team as a Senior Hardware Engineer (EE). As we scale, you will be instrumental in building our foundation from the ground up. We're looking for a senior hardware engineer who can take an idea from a rough concept to a working board and who enjoys switching between very different projects. You'll own schematic capture and PCB layout, everything from basic mixed signal control boards to RF and high-speed designs. Lead projects from kickoff through prototype and into production.
What You'll Do
Lead hardware projects end-to-end, from requirements and architecture through prototype bring-up and release to production.
Create schematics and multilayer PCB layouts for mixed-signal, RF, and high-speed digital designs.
Design controlled-impedance and high-speed interfaces, including stackup planning and signal integrity.
Serve as the primary technical contact for clients: scope work, run design reviews, and explain tradeoffs.
Bring up and debug boards in the lab with oscilloscopes, spectrum and network analyzers, and other test equipment.
Work with our team on DFM/DFT so designs build cleanly the first time.
Manage several projects at once and adapt as priorities shift.
Requirements
This position requires access to export-controlled information. Employment is contingent upon the applicant being a U.S. person as defined by 8 U.S.C. a7 1324b(a)(3).
Experience:
5-8 years of hands-on hardware design experience.
A BSEE, a BSCpE, or equivalent experience.
Skills:
Strong schematic and PCB layout skills in Altium Designer.
Hands-on RF and/or high-speed layout experience, including impedance control, grounding, and signal integrity.
A track record of owning designs from concept through production.
Comfort working directly with internal and external customers and explaining technical decisions clearly.
Self-direction and a genuine enjoyment of variety.
Microwave or mmWave PCB design experience (20+ GHz).
Experience with FPGA's
Background in defense, aerospace, or medical products, and familiarity with IPC standards.
Prior experience at a design consultancy or product development firm.
Benefits
The expected annual salary range for this position is $125,000-$175,000.
As a full-time employee, you will be eligible for Monarch's comprehensive benefits package, which includes:
