Senior PCB Design Engineer

Echodyne offers the world’s first compact solid‑state true beam‑steering radar for a wide range of industries and applications. Our high‑performance radars work in all weather and are designed for autonomous vehicles, uncrewed aircraft & drones, and security of borders, critical infrastructure, and smart cities. The company combines the patented technology of metamaterials with powerful software to create a radar sensor with unprecedented performance at commercial price points.

Echbulk offers its radars to companies working in Automotive, Transportation, Critical Infrastructure Protection, Border Security, Smart Cities, Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS), and Airspace Management including Urban Air Mobility (UTM).

High‑performance printed circuit boards are critical to realizing a high‑performance radar sensor. As a Senior PCB Design Engineer, you will play a key role in every phase of the product lifecycle (Definition, Exploration, Architecting, Design, Development, Verification, Production, and Sustainment). In each phase you will both Intensive to solve and learn from challenging problems in circuit design, design for test, design for manufacturability, all related to state‑of‑the‑art radar.

In this role, you will draw upon your background in PCB design to aid in the quick progression through the smallest assessments to the largest design efforts for ground‑breaking products.
