Job Description & How to Apply Below

What You Will Do

  • Own the design, development, and validation of analog and digital electronics for wearable imaging and sensing systems — from prototype through production.
  • Architect advanced computing platforms based on FPGA, CPU, NPU, and GPU subsystems for high-speed signal and AI processing.
  • Develop motion-control hardware with real-time, closed-loop feedback for actuator and robotics applications.
  • Develop Verilog or System Verilog designs for FPGAs supporting real-time signal processing and AI inference.
  • Design high-speed interfaces (PCIe Gen4, DDR4 SDRAM, USB-C, high-speed ADC/DAC), including signal integrity, power integrity, and EMC analysis.
  • Bring up new boards and debug hardware, FPGA, and system-level issues across the stack.
  • Collaborate with optics, mechanical, firmware, software, and systems engineering teams.
Education / Qualifications
  • B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 5+ years of professional electrical engineering experience developing complex systems.
  • Strong analog and digital circuit design experience, with proficiency in schematic capture and PCB layout tools (Altium, Cadence, or similar) and lab debugging instruments (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers).
  • Strong FPGA design experience in Verilog or System Verilog, including RTL development, simulation, synthesis, and timing closure on Xilinx/AMD or Intel/Altera platforms.
  • Experience designing high-speed interfaces (PCIe Gen4, DDR4 SDRAM, USB-C, high-speed ADC/DAC).
  • Ability to collaborate across hardware, software, scientific, and engineering teams.
Additional Experience That Would Be Valuable
  • Experience with edge AI hardware (NPU/GPU/DSP integration or AI inference accelerators).
  • Experience with imaging sensors, LiDAR, OCT, MEMS, or other optical sensors.
  • Experience with low-power design for wearable or battery-powered systems.
  • Experience taking electronics from prototype through DFM/DFT to mass production.
  • Familiarity with regulated medical-device hardware development (IEC 60601, ISO 13485, FDA), or willingness to learn.
Why Join Kodiak

This role is for engineers who want their designs to drive real-world physical systems — optics, sensors, and embedded computing — and shape the hardware itself. You will work at the intersection of software, hardware, medical imaging, optics, AR/VR, LiDAR, OCT, and AI. The platform is novel, the technical challenges are deep, and the work has the potential to shape a new class of wearable vision technologies.
