Senior Electrical Engineer
Salary:$140,000-$200,000 + equity

Relocation Package: Yes (Case-by-case basis)
Visa Sponsorship: No (Must be a US Resident due to ITAR restrictions)
The Opportunity
Success Matcher Recruitment is proud to partner with a pioneering hardware company that is redefining the future of industrial production. Our client is building a next-generation, autonomous metal 3D printing factory platform driven by real-time Machine Learning.
We are seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer who is a first-principles builder. This isn't a role for someone who wants to "maintain" systems; this is for the engineer who wants to own the full lifecycle of custom electronics that power high-speed sensing, data acquisition, and compute-heavy control systems. If you thrive in fast-paced, high-stakes environments where the path is often ambiguous, we want to talk to you.
What You’ll Do
Architect & Build: Design, integrate, and deploy custom electronics for a massive-scale autonomous factory platform.
Full Lifecycle Ownership: Drive hardware from initial requirements and component selection through schematic capture, PCB design, prototyping, and productionization.
High-Performance Compute: Build the electrical backbone for systems involving FPGAs and GPUs where timing and throughput are critical.
System Validation: Develop lab test setups to debug complex, system-level issues, taking designs from the bench to the field with high confidence.
Collaborate: Work in a low-ego, cross-functional environment alongside mechanical, software, and ML teams to "build the plane while flying it."
Required Qualifications
Experience: 3-8 years of experience designing and developing complex electrical hardware from scratch.
Industry Background: Proven track record in high-intensity sectors such as Robotics, New Aerospace, Electric Vehicles (EV), or Semiconductors.
Technical Proficiency: Expert-level skills in schematic design, layout, circuit analysis, and high-speed data acquisition or motion control.
Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering. (Note: A GPA of 3.5+ is required for those within 5 years of graduation).
Compliance: Must be a US Resident (Green Card or Citizen) due to ITAR restrictions.
Preferred Attributes
Experience with heavy compute stacks (FPGAs/GPUs).
A "hacker" mindset-the ability to troubleshoot the unexpected and move quickly without rigid processes.
A passion for first-principles engineering and solving problems that have never been solved before.
