Full Job Description
Senior Sustaining Electrical Engineer

ROLE OVERVIEW

Echodyne is seeking a Senior Electrical Sustaining Engineer to join our Sustaining Engineering team. This role is responsible for ensuring the long-term performance, reliability, manufacturability, and supportability of Echodyne's fielded and in-production radar products.

In this role, you will partner closely with Sustaining Engineering peers and collaborate with Electrical Design, Systems, Manufacturing, Test, Quality, and Supply Chain teams to investigate issues, resolve defects, and implement durable design improvements across the product lifecycle.

Echodyne builds compact solid-state true beam-steering radars that integrate advanced analog, mixed-signal, digital, power, and embedded subsystems. Sustaining these products requires deep circuit-level expertise, disciplined root-cause analysis, and strong ownership of product health in production and in the field.
RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Develop, verify, and document sustaining design updates driven by reliability, yield, component lifecycle, or manufacturability needs
  • Evaluate components, material and supplier alternates and support qualification of replacements for EOL or supply-chain risk mitigation
  • Develop ECO packages, sustaining documentation, and release artifacts
  • Lead root-cause investigations, failure analysis, and corrective/preventative actions for analog and mixed-signal circuits and subsystems
  • Perform advanced debugging and characterization of mixed-signal PCB assemblies in lab and production environments
  • Partner with Manufacturing and Test teams to improve test coverage, debug flows, and production yield
REQUIRED SKILLS / EXPERIENCE
  • Background in analog and mixed-signal circuit theory and hands-on circuit analysis
  • Ability to interpret schematics and guide circuit-level design changes with an understanding of system-level interactions
  • Working knowledge of power integrity, signal integrity, and mixed-signal layout considerations
  • Understanding of low-speed and mixed-signal interfaces such as SPI, I2C, GPIO, and clocking architectures
  • Familiarity with DFx practices including DFM, DFA, and DFT for manufacturable electronics
  • Experience collaborating in a cross-functional hardware development and production environment
  • Experience leading RCA and CAPA efforts for production or fielded hardware
  • Experience debugging and sustaining PCB assemblies that include analog, digital, power, and programmable devices
  • Experience troubleshooting circuits using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, DMMs, and related lab equipment
DESIRED SKILLS / EXPERIENCE
(Looking for one or more as a complement to the core skills)

  • Familiarity with SPICE simulation for analysis of existing or modified circuits
  • Scientific scripting or data analysis skills using Python or MATLAB
QUALIFICATIONS
  • BS or MS in Electrical Engineering or related field
  • 6 or more years of hands-on experience with analog and mixed-signal printed circuit assemblies, including debugging, verification, and production support
  • Eligibility to handle export-controlled information (ITAR/EAR)

Echodyne's technology is export controlled by the U.S. Government and we must evaluate an applicant's eligibility to handle export-controlled information or obtain required Government authorizations. Therefore, we will ask you as part of the application process to identify whether you are a U.S. Citizen or green card holder, or have asylum/refugee status in the U.S.
WHAT WE OFFER
This is an exempt role.

The expected annual salary range for this role is

$124,733-$187,048 USD

If your skills generally align but not perfectly, please apply anyway. There may be another role that's a great fit for you!

  • RSU (Restricted Stock Units)
  • Generous Benefits:
    • Fully-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance premiums for you
      • Choice of PPO or HDHP/HSA
      • Virtual Care - 98Point6
      • Employee Assistance Program
  • Mental Health coverage through Springhealth & Talkspace (Premera)
  • Travel Assistance Insurance
  • Company Paid Life Insurance
  • Company Paid Short & Long Term Disability
  • Flexible PTO (exempt) / 15 days per year (non-exempt)
