Electrical Engineer
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Nov 13, 2026. First seen by Alion on Nov 13, 2026.
About the Role
Join a small engineering team developing terahertz imaging technology for security applications. In this hands-on role, you will own mixed-signal board bring-up, debugging, and integration, working closely with systems, FPGA, firmware, and mechanical teams.
What You'll Do
Lead board-level bring-up, power sequencing validation, and subsystem integration across multiple board designs.
Diagnose signal integrity, power, and RF performance issues, then drive design iterations to resolve them.
Coordinate schematic updates and layout reviews with an external design firm, from fabrication through characterization and validation.
Collaborate with FPGA, firmware, and systems engineers to validate subsystem and system integration.
Develop traceability and test procedures to support increased production volume.
What We're Looking For
Bachelor's or master's degree in electrical engineering and 3 to 7 years of experience in mixed-signal hardware bring-up, debugging, and board-level integration.
End-to-end PCB design experience, including schematics and layout in Altium, controlled-impedance routing, and power protection circuits.
Experience with ADCs and DACs, DC/DC converters, RF interfaces, power sequencing, signal integrity, and mixed-signal validation.
Ability to independently identify and solve technical problems, and to work across disciplines.
Background in telecom, radar, or complex sensing systems is helpful. FPGA bring-up experience, including PetaLinux or AMD Kria SOM, is also useful.
Must be authorized to work in the United States without visa sponsorship.
Compensation & Benefits
Base salary: $160,000 to $180,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is not available.
Location
On-site in Santa Clara, California, five days per week.
