About the role

We're looking for an Electrical Engineer to own the design of electronic hardware from concept through prototype and into production. You will work alongside our cofounder / CTO who earned 7 patents for electronics. The Electrical Engineer will own the development of products including requirements, schematic capture, PCB layout, fabrication, testing, and QA. This role is best suited for a skilled engineer who wants to move fast and help pioneer the field of electronics in the age of AI.

Key responsibilities

  • Drive schematic capture and lead PCB layout including component selection, footprints, and BOM management.

  • Develop and perform circuit simulation and analysis (e.g. SPICE), covering power, signal integrity, timing, and thermal considerations.

  • Design power supplies, sensor interfaces, communication interfaces (I²C, SPI, UART, USB, Ethernet, etc.), and microcontroller/processor subsystems.

  • Bring up and debug prototypes in the lab using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other bench equipment.

  • Collaborate with firmware, mechanical, verification, and test engineers throughout the development cycle.

  • Prepare design documentation, review packages, and support Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and cost reduction efforts.

  • Support compliance activities (EMC/EMI, safety, regulatory) as designs mature.

Required qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in EE or equivalent experience.

  • 3+ years of hands-on electronic circuit and PCB design experience.

  • Proficiency with a schematic / PCB design tool (e.g. Altium, Cadence, KiCad, etc).

  • Solid grounding in analog and digital fundamentals, power electronics, and high-speed design concepts.

  • Comfortable debugging hardware at the bench with standard lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, etc).

Preferred qualifications

  • Master's in Electrical Engineering

  • Proficiency using Ansys HFSS, SIwave, Icepak and CST is a plus.

  • Experience taking products through the full lifecycle to volume production.

  • Familiarity with signal-integrity and power-integrity analysis tools.

  • Scripting ability (e.g. Python) for design automation or data analysis.

  • Exposure to EMC/regulatory compliance testing.
