Job description
About the Role
Join a small engineering team developing terahertz imaging technology for 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-level bring-up, power sequencing validation, and subsystem integration 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 firm, and manage boards through fabrication, 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 volumes.
What We're Looking For
Three to seven 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 board design experience, including schematics and layout in Altium, controlled-impedance routing, and power protection circuits.
Experience with ADCs, DACs, DC/DC converters, RF interfaces, power sequencing, signal integrity, and complex PCBAs.
Ability to independently identify and solve hardware problems, with flexibility to work across disciplines.
Background in telecom, radar, or complex sensing systems is valued. FPGA bring-up experience, including Petalinux or AMD Kria SOM, is also useful.
Compensation & Benefits
Base salary is $160,000 to $180,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is not available.
Location
On-site, five days per week in Santa Clara, California.
