Your Impact
We are seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer specializing in schematic and circuit board design to own the electrical design, development, and validation of complex, highly integrated hardware for mission-critical connected devices.
As a founding member of our hardware team, you will have significant ownership across the full hardware lifecycle—from system architecture and component selection through schematic capture, PCB layout, bring-up, validation, certification, and mass production.
You will design high-density, mixed-signal electronics integrating application processors, memory, power management, battery systems, wireless devices, and high-speed interfaces. You’ll work closely with RF, Mechanical, Firmware, and Manufacturing teams to solve complex challenges across signal integrity, power integrity, board architecture, thermal constraints, EMI/EMC, and form factor.
What You’ll Do
- Schematic & Circuit Design: Own detailed mixed-signal schematic design across application processors, microcontrollers, memory, power management, battery charging, audio modules, sensors, and high-speed digital interfaces.
- PCB Design & Layout: Drive complex, high-density PCB designs from architecture through layout and release, including layer stack-up, component placement, routing strategy, grounding, and design reviews.
- Signal & Power Integrity: Design for robust signal and power integrity across high-speed digital interfaces, sensitive analog circuitry, power rails, and mixed-signal systems.
- Component & Power Architecture: Lead component selection, power-tree design, battery/charging architecture, design calculations, derating, and electrical tradeoff analysis.
- Mechanical Integration: Partner closely with Mechanical and Industrial Design to optimize board shape, component placement, connectors, antennas, thermal performance, and overall form factor.
- Bring-Up & Debugging: Lead board bring-up, characterization, validation, and root-cause analysis using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, power supplies, and related laboratory equipment.
- Production Readiness: Own BOMs, design documentation, design reviews, verification, manufacturing test requirements, and electrical readiness through SP/EVT/DVT/PVT, certification, and mass production.
- Technical Leadership: Provide technical direction and design review support to electrical engineers and external design partners, establishing scalable electrical engineering standards and best practices.
What You Bring
- 7+ years of electrical and circuit board design experience and a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
- Deep hands-on experience taking complex electronics from architecture -> schematic capture -> PCB layout -> bring-up -> validation -> production.
- Strong experience designing high-density, mixed-signal PCBs incorporating application processors or MCUs, high-speed memory, power delivery, battery/charging circuitry, and wired and wireless into compact, highly integrated, battery-powered hardware.
- Advanced knowledge of schematic design, PCB stack-up, grounding, component placement, high-speed routing, signal integrity, power integrity, and EMI/EMC.
- Demonstrated expertise designing high-speed interfaces such as DDR, PCIe, USB, Ethernet, MIPI, or similar technologies.
- Strong understanding of power architecture, including DC/DC converters, LDOs, battery-powered systems, charging circuitry, power sequencing, and low-power design.
- Hands-on experience with Cadence OrCAD and Allegro or comparable professional schematic and PCB design tools.
- Experience designing rigid, flex, or rigid-flex PCBs within demanding mechanical, thermal, and form-factor constraints.
- Strong hands-on bring-up and debugging experience using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, power supplies, and related test equipment.
- Proven experience taking hardware through SP, EVT, DVT, PVT, certification, manufacturing ramp, and mass production.
- Experience designing electronics to meet U.S. and international hardware, wireless, EMC, and safety requirements.
- Strong proficiency partnering with CMs, ODMs, JDMs, PCB fabricators, and geographically distributed engineering teams.
- Flexibility to travel domestically up to 50% of the time, as needed, to support the team.
