About this role
We are seeking an Electrical Engineer to own hardware design from schematic through board bring-up and validation. You will design analog and digital circuits, capture schematics, drive PCB layout, and work hands-on in the lab to bring boards up and debug them. The role partners with mechanical, firmware, and systems teams to deliver manufacturable, reliable hardware.
Responsibilities:
- Design analog and digital circuits and capture schematics for new and revised boards.
- Own or direct multi-layer PCB layout, including component selection, footprints, and stack-up.
- Perform board bring-up, validation, and troubleshooting in the lab.
- Address signal integrity, power integrity, and EMC/EMI early in the design.
- Prepare BOMs, design documentation, and support design-for-manufacturability and test.
- Collaborate with firmware, mechanical, and systems engineers, and with contract manufacturers.

Before you apply anywhere — including here
Ask every firm these questions. We have already answered them.
Do you sponsor work authorization?
Yes, for consultants we employ on W-2 — H-1B transfers, extensions, amendments, and employment-based green cards.

Yes, before you interview. If there is a prime vendor or MSP in the chain, you will know.
