Job Summary

We are seeking a skilled and fast-moving Electrical Engineer with experience in embedded systems, power electronics, and sensor integration. You will play a leading role in the design, layout, and validation of advanced electronics systems, including high-speed interfaces, smart power management, and sensor fusion architectures. This role is ideal for someone who can move quickly from concept to production with a high level of design accuracy and system awareness.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, layout, and bring-up of high-quality, manufacturable PCBs under tight deadlines.
• Develop custom embedded carrier boards interfacing processors, sensors, and communication protocols.
• Engineer smart fusing and MOSFET switching circuits for autonomous vehicle power distribution and protection.
• Design robust power systems including step-down/up converters, overcurrent/under voltage protection, and low-noise analog supply rails.
• Integrate and validate MEMS sensors (IMUs, barometers, magnetometers, etc.) across digital buses.
• Implement and troubleshoot high-speed and industrial data links including Gigabit Ethernet, CANbus, UART, and M.2-based modules.
• Perform EMI-aware design practices, signal integrity analysis, and support for EMC testing and compliance.
• Collaborate with firmware, mechanical, and AI teams throughout the design lifecycle to ensure tight system integration.
• Manage design reviews, documentation, and validation reports for both prototype and production-grade systems.

Minimum Qualifications

• B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field.
• 3+ years of experience in PCB design and embedded hardware development.
• Proficient in Altium Designer, KiCad, or equivalent PCB layout tools.
• Demonstrated experience with power electronics, digital/analog circuit design, and hardware debugging tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers).
• Strong understanding of EMI/EMC, grounding, shielding, and differential signal layout techniques.
• Solid knowledge of embedded communication protocols and physical interfaces.
• Strong documentation and cross-discipline collaboration skills.

Preferred Qualifications (Bonus)

• Hands-on experience with NVIDIA Jetson platforms, embedded Linux carrier boards, or SOMs.
• Familiarity with real-time autopilot control systems, or IMUs.
• Experience designing for ruggedized, autonomous, or mobile robotics platforms.
• Exposure to ISO 7637, CISPR 25, or…
