About the company
Our client is an electronics manufacturing company.
The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Take charge of getting new hardware boards running, troubleshooting them and fitting them into a larger sensing system. Collaborate closely with colleagues in programmable logic, embedded software, systems and mechanical assembly, and help ready the hardware for larger production runs.
What you'll do
- Drive the first power-up and validation of several circuit board designs and make sure they work together as a complete subsystem.
- Investigate electrical faults in power delivery, high-speed signals and radio-frequency behavior, find the underlying causes and push quick design fixes.
- Coordinate with an outside layout partner on schematic changes and layout reviews, following each new board revision from build through testing.
- Join forces with software, logic and systems engineers to confirm that the hardware performs correctly when combined with their work.
- Create test procedures and record-keeping practices so the hardware can be built in higher quantities.
Requirements
What we're looking for
- 3 to 7 years of professional electrical engineering experience.
- A bachelor's or master's degree in Electrical Engineering.
- Proven hands-on experience bringing up and debugging complex populated circuit boards.
- Solid mixed-signal design background, including data converters, power conversion and RF connections.
- Familiarity with PCB design software and schematic review, ideally Altium.
- A self-directed approach to spotting and fixing problems without waiting for instruction.
- Ability to work on-site five days per week.
- Must be a US person (citizen or green card holder).
Bonus points
- Exposure to communications, radar or other sophisticated sensing hardware.
- Time spent in a startup or similarly fast-moving setting.
