Pleasanton, United States Vector Atomic Full time
Job DescriptionJob Description

Vector Atomic is building quantum devices for applications including GPS-free navigation and timing, geophysical exploration, and telecommunications. We are focused on delivering near-term products that take advantage of the exquisite properties of quantum systems. Our devices are designed with the form, fit, function, and cost for the real world.

Vector Atomic is hiring Electrical Engineers to build ultraprecise quantum devices for applications including autonomous/GPS-free navigation, high-bandwidth satellite communications, and geophysical exploration. This hands-on role requires strong electronic design skills emphasizing low-noise, low-power analog and mixed-signal circuits. We are seeking strong individual contributors that take ownership of their work while supporting overall team goals.

Our rapidly growing team of 50 plus brings an innovative but practical approach to developing quantum devices. If you'd like to work on transformational technologies in a dynamic, team-oriented environment, come join our team

Requirements

What You’ll Do

  • Work with a cross-functional team of physicists, electronics engineers, and optical engineers to create next-generation quantum instruments.
  • Design, implement and verify analog and mixed signal circuits for precision INS instruments. This work requires an understanding of electronic noise sources, measurement techniques and mitigation strategies. While we don’t expect deep expertise in this area, new hires will need to come up to speed with these subjects quickly to solve design challenges.
  • Select parts and work with purchasing to procure, fabricate and assemble PCBAs.
  • Create schematic and assist with layout. Help define critical board layout techniques to improve signal integrity.
  • Assist with board “bring-up” and debugging. Develop test scripts and documentation to assist with validation.
  • Collaborate with software engineers and provide support and technical guidance as they program and interact with your circuits.
  • Contribute to the development process for continuous improvement by write task tickets (Jira).

What We're Looking For

  • BSEE/MSEE Degree with substantial course/lab/intern work in analog circuit design. Other technical degrees will be considered, with 2+ years of directly relevant experience.
  • US export control laws require “U.S. persons” including U.S. citizens (born or naturalized), lawful permanent residents, and certain categories of refugees, and asylees.
  • Must be comfortable working in a laboratory environment.
  • Ability to communicate effectively with coworkers and collaborators, both written and verbal.

Required expertise:

  • Training/expertise with analog and mixed-signal circuit design.
  • Training/expertise with POL power supply circuit design.
  • EDA tools for schematic capture and PCB layout.
  • Simulation of circuits using Spice.
  • Laboratory test and measurement equipment such as oscilloscopes, power supplies, function generators and voltmeters.
  • Experience writing test code for scripting languages such as Python or TCL to control laboratory equipment.

Nice-to-have expertise:

  • Design training/expertise with RF circuits and PCB layout techniques such as microstrip.
  • Design training/expertise with electro-optic circuits and lasers.
  • Previous expertise with low-power design techniques and power supply design is a plus.

Benefits

Vector Atomic values teamwork, open and honest discourse, and work-life balance. We are an employee-owned company with competitive compensation and benefits including:

  • Platinum-level family health coverage (medical, dental, vision)
  • Health and dependent care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)
  • Employer 401(k) contributions
  • 20 days of paid time off / 10 paid holidays
  • Paid parental leave
  • Stock ownership plan
  • Fully stocked kitchen

Pay Range

We provide market-competitive compensation packages, inclusive of base pay, performance bonus, benefits, and equity. The pay range for this position is $85,000 to $125,000 including annual bonus. It's atypical to be hired at the top end of this range for the role, as actual pay is based on several factors, including job-related knowledge, skills, and experience level.

Vector Atomic is an equal opportunity employer and we welcome applications from all backgrounds regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, ancestry, age, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, veteran status, disability, or any other classification protected by law.
