As we scale, you will be instrumental in building our foundation from the ground up. We're looking for a senior hardware engineer who can take an idea from a rough concept to a working board and who enjoys switching between very different projects. You'll own schematic capture and PCB layout, everything from basic mixed signal control boards to RF and high-speed designs. Lead projects from kickoff through prototype and into production. **What You'll Do** Lead hardware projects end-to-end, from requirements and architecture through prototype bring-up and release to production. - Create schematics and multilayer PCB layouts for mixed-signal, RF, and high-speed digital designs. - Design controlled-impedance and high-speed interfaces, including stackup planning and signal integrity. - Serve as the primary technical contact for clients: scope work, run design reviews, and explain tradeoffs. - Bring up and debug boards in the lab with oscilloscopes, spectrum and network analyzers, and other test equipment. - Work with our team on DFM/DFT so designs build cleanly the first time. - Manage several projects at once and adapt as priorities shift. **Requirements** - This position requires access to export-controlled information. Employment is contingent upon the applicant being a U.S. person as defined by 8 U.S.C. § 1324b(a)(3). **Experience:** - 5–8 years of hands-on hardware design experience. - A BSEE, a BSCpE, or equivalent experience. **Skills:** - Strong schematic and PCB layout skills in Altium Designer. - Hands-on RF and/or high-speed layout experience, including impedance control, grounding, and signal integrity. - A track record of owning designs from concept through production. - Comfort working directly with internal and external customers and explaining technical decisions clearly. - Self-direction and a genuine enjoyment of variety. - Microwave or mmWave PCB design experience (20+ GHz). - Experience with FPGA’s - Background in defense, aerospace, or medical products, and familiarity with IPC standards. - Prior experience at a design consultancy or product development firm. **Benefits** The expected annual salary range for this position is $125,000-$175,000.
