Monarch Quantum is a quantum photonics company that develops integrated photonic hardware and light engines for advanced technological applications. The enterprise provides scalable laser-based systems and optical packaging designed for quantum computing, sensing, and communications. Headquartered in San Diego, California, it utilizes in-house systems engineering and AI-driven manufacturing to deliver deployable quantum infrastructure.

Join our fast-paced and passionate team as Manager of Electrical Engineering. As we scale, you will be instrumental in building our electrical engineering foundation from the ground up. This is a dynamic, hands-on role for a self-starter who thrives in a fluid startup environment. You'll have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge technologies, work closely with leadership, and develop and implement electrical engineering practices that support our mission and growth.

Your key responsibilities are as follows:

  • Recruit, develop, and manage a team of electrical engineers.
  • Contribute to the design, integration, verification, and transition to production of complex laser and photonic systems.
  • Create and maintain company-wide electrical engineering processes, standards, and tools.
  • Be responsible for the execution of electrical engineering projects across the company, from requirements development and system architecture through design, integration, verification, validation, qualification, and production.
  • Lead team in developing electrical architecture and design of complex laser, photonic, and electro-optical systems.
  • As a member of the cross-functional leadership team, be responsible for planning and execution of company projects on schedule and to budget.
  • Partner closely with Optical, Mechanical, Software, and Manufacturing teams to ensure seamless system-level integration.

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. § 1324b(a)(3).

Experience:

    • Degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
    • 7+ years of relevant experience (including pursuit of relevant higher education), ideally within a startup or technology company.

Skills and Responsibilities:

    • Proven record of building and leading engineering teams successfully executing multiple, parallel, complex electrical engineering projects through development, qualification, fielding, and maintenance cycles.
    • Proficient with Altium Designer for schematic capture, PCB design, layout, and electrical design documentation.
    • Experience designing and debugging analog, digital, power, and mixed-signal electronics for complex electro-optical systems.
    • Experience with PCB design, signal integrity, power integrity, grounding, shielding, and EMI/EMC considerations.
    • Oversee the electrical architecture of rack systems housing sensitive fiber-coupled photonic components and associated control electronics.
    • Drive the electrical design strategy for laser sources, optical engines, temperature control systems, power distribution, monitoring, and control systems.
    • Develop robust electrical interfaces between laser, photonic, mechanical, and software subsystems.
    • Establish rigorous design-for-manufacturing (DFM) and design-for-assembly (DFA) standards for low-to-mid volume, high-complexity builds and prepare products for future scaling.
    • Lead electrical design reviews, design verification, qualification, and failure analysis activities.
    • Partner with manufacturing and operations teams to develop test fixtures, production test strategies, and electrical manufacturing processes.
    • Partner with Optical, Mechanical, and Software teams to ensure seamless hardware-software integration.
    • Establish and maintain engineering documentation, including schematics, PCB layouts, electrical interface control documents, bills of materials, test procedures, and design verification plans.
    • Support troubleshooting and root-cause analysis of electrical and system-level issues throughout development, production, and field deployment.
