Electrical Engineer

Job Summary

Core Responsibilities

• Designing multilayer PCBAs, incorporating EMI/EMC best practices and considering deployment in harsh environments (thermal cycles, mechanical shock, vibration, etc.).
• Ownership over the complete lifecycle PCB multi-layer design from schematic capture and layout through board bring-up and test
• Develop and analyze complex power trees.
• Collaborate closely with RTL and software teams to define pinouts, bank voltages, and clocking architectures that optimize PCB routing.
• Collaborate closely with mechanical teams on PCB enclosure and thermal design

Basic Qualifications

• A bachelor’s degree or higher in Electrical or Computer Engineering
• Strong grasp of Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Test (DFT) in low-to-medium volume, high-complexity production.
• Experience with multilayer PCB schematic capture and layout, as well as board bring-up and testing
• Experience designing systems for harsh environments (space, aviation, automotive, etc.)
• Experience with common low speed digital interfaces (I2C, CAN, UART, etc.)
• Experience with EMI/EMC best practices
• Basic experience writing FPGA RTL or microcontroller firmware

Preferred Qualifications

• Understanding of FPGA and SoC hardware requirements, including power distribution, high-speed SERDES routing (PCIe, multi-gigabit ethernet, etc.), memory interfaces, etc.
• Basic understanding of RF circuits and RF PCB layout
• Experience working in a startup or small team environment
• Experience designing spacecraft avionics systems
• Advanced experience writing FPGA RTL or microcontroller firmware
