Job description
About the Role
Join a multidisciplinary engineering team developing terahertz imaging technology for defense and public safety 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 bring-up, validate power sequencing, and integrate subsystems across multiple board designs.
Debug signal integrity, power, and RF performance issues, identify root causes, and drive design iterations.
Coordinate schematic updates and layout reviews with an external design partner, from fabrication through characterization and validation.
Work with FPGA, firmware, and systems engineers to validate subsystem and system-level integration.
Develop traceability and test procedures to support increased production volume.
What We're Looking For
3 to 7 years of experience in mixed-signal hardware bring-up, debugging, and board-level integration.
A bachelor's or master's degree in Electrical Engineering.
End-to-end PCB design experience, including schematics and layout in Altium, controlled-impedance routing, and power protection circuits.
Hands-on experience with ADCs, DACs, DC/DC converters, RF interfaces, power sequencing, signal integrity, and mixed-signal validation.
Experience independently identifying and solving hardware problems, with a willingness to work across disciplines.
Background in telecom, radar, complex sensing systems, or a fast-paced startup environment is useful. FPGA bring-up experience, including Petalinux or AMD Kria SOM, is also useful.
Compensation & Benefits
Base salary: $160,000 to $180,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is not available. Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship and meet applicable U.S. person requirements.
Location
On-site, five days per week in Santa Clara, California, United States.
