Electrical Engineer​/Intern

About the Role

We are in the middle of an active product development program and are expanding our pyroelectric detector platform into a new digital product family.

The goal is to integrate Eltec’s instrumentation-grade lithium tantalate detector technology with analog front-end circuitry, digital signal processing, and a standard I²C interface so our detectors can connect more easily to modern embedded systems.

This work spans analog front-end design, detector characterization, PCB layout for constrained form factors, thermal validation inside sealed metal packages, and digital interface bring-up.

We are hiring for multiple levels — from summer interns to entry-level or experienced electrical engineers.

• Design, build, and test analog front-end circuits for pyroelectric infrared detectors
• Set up measurement rigs and characterize detector performance, including responsivity, noise spectral density, NEP, and D*
• Contribute to PCB schematic capture and layout for compact mixed-signal detector electronics
• Configure and bring up digital interface circuitry, including I²C-based ADCs and embedded signal acquisition
• Write Python scripts to automate register configuration, data collection, and signal analysis
• Troubleshoot analog and mixed-signal circuits at the board level
• Document findings in clear engineering reports and maintain design records

Full-time engineers will take on increasing ownership over characterization plans, PCB revision cycles, test methods, and product-level design decisions.

Ideal candidates will have:

• Currently pursuing a B.S. in Electrical Engineering; rising junior or senior preferred
• Coursework in analog circuits, signals and systems, electronics lab, or embedded systems
• Comfortable using basic lab instrumentation: oscilloscope, DMM, function generator, and power supply
• Some exposure to a schematic or PCB design tool
• Experience with at least one technical computing or scripting tool such as Python, MATLAB, or LabVIEW
• Minimum 3.0 GPA preferred; strong hands-on projects will be considered alongside GPA

Ideal candidates will have:

• B.S. in Electrical Engineering or related field
• Hands-on background in analog circuit design, sensor characterization, embedded systems, or precision measurement
• Working proficiency with PCB design tools;
  Altium experience is preferred
• Ability to own a measurement task end-to-end: setup, data collection, analysis, troubleshooting, and documentation
• Experience with low-noise design, mixed-signal circuits, precision instrumentation, or sensor interfaces is a strong plus

• Experience with transimpedance amplifiers, charge amplifiers, lock-in detection, or chopped/pulsed signal conditioning
• Familiarity with standard digital communication protocols such as I²C
• Exposure to infrared sensing, photonics, optics, or detector physics

• Work on mission-critical technology
• Learn real-world analog and sensor engineering challenges
• Learn from engineers with decades of experience in detector design, precision measurement, and infrared sensing
• Join a small team where your contributions are visible, your questions get answered quickly, and your work can make it into a real product
• Daytona Beach, FL — competitive compensation, reasonable cost of living, and the Atlantic Ocean nearby

Send your resume to along with a brief note describing a circuit you have built, a measurement problem you have solved, or a hands-on engineering project you are proud of.

Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States.
