About Us

SirenOpt® provides manufacturing intelligence solutions that accelerate sustainable and smart manufacturing of advanced coatings, thin films and nano-scale materials, with demonstrated use cases across battery, aerospace, semiconductor, electronic and many other industries.


More specifically, SirenOpt is pioneering a paradigm shift in advanced materials characterization by leveraging cold atmospheric plasma, machine learning and predictive analytics to non-destructively create uniquely distinctive, multifaceted material fingerprints in real-time. SirenOpt transforms measurement blind spots into rich multi-layered material insights, which enable intelligent performance-centric decision-making. SirenOpt thus accelerates R&D and process optimization, enhances product performance, and delivers higher production quality to maximize value in both in-line and off-line applications.


Job Description

We are seeking a highly skilled Principal Electrical Engineer to help us deliver a sensing and software platform that can be scalably integrated inside high-volume thin film manufacturing lines. As an early-stage member of the SirenOpt team, you will be able to make a real impact on next-generation thin film technologies and help build a solid technical foundation upon which a small company can grow. The ideal candidate will learn new concepts quickly and take pride in the quality of their work. We expect that you will be able to apply sound engineering judgment to solve a wide range of technical challenges efficiently and creatively. Some of these problems may lie outside your core areas of expertise, so technical curiosity and a self-starting attitude are critical for success.


This role offers an exciting opportunity to be at the forefront of technological innovation, working with cutting-edge systems in a collaborative and dynamic environment. If you are a driven and skilled engineer looking to make a significant impact in advanced manufacturing and the green energy transition, we encourage you to apply.


In this role you will:

  • Heavily contribute to the electrical design and validation of the cold atmospheric plasma-based metrology sensor
  • Interface with a small, cross-functional project team to research, develop, and validate new concepts for low-temperature plasma-based metrology
  • Perform fundamental studies to characterize and understand the sensitivity of the sensor performance to various environmental factors
  • Closely interact with both small and large clients to iterate on the design based on their feedback, paying close attention to integration speed
  • Create and maintain technical design documentation (e.g., requirements, wiring diagrams, part schematics, and test reports)


You have:

  • B.S./M.S./PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field with 10+ years of relevant industry experience
  • Experience autonomously leading independent electrical design projects, in particular those that involve designing a product that can be integrated into a larger system.
  • Experience with FCC, CE, and UL certification is a huge plus
  • Familiarity with high-voltage devices
  • Experience with initiating and maintaining supplier support
  • Experience taking designs from initial concept development to product launch. Design for reliability, manufacturing, and service (DFx).
  • Experience with hands-on development of prototypes
  • Experience with maintaining awareness of customer needs and iterating on designs accordingly
  • Experience with performing sensitivity analysis and using the results of those analyses to inform future electrical designs e.g., quantifying a prototype’s sensitivity to certain environmental disturbances and creating an electrical design that mitigates the effects of those disturbances
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Ability to rapidly create and iterate upon prototypes based on client and team feedback
  • Demonstrated the ability to adapt to new technical challenges and excited to work in a fast-paced, multi-disciplinary environment


Nice to have:

  • Prior exposure to high-precision, high-throughput industrial designs for material handling, metrology, and/or process automation applications
  • Experience with metrology equipment and sensors, particularly those used for metrology of advanced materials
  • Experience in developing and optimizing embedded controls and subsystems is a plus, including FPGA design, VHDL, firmware optimization, signal/image processing, real-time data processing, and proficiency in C and C++
  • Mandarin fluency
