  • Test and verify designed hardware in a lab environment, building and integrating multiple systems where the designs are utilized, and transferring test requirements to test engineering for large-scale manufacturing.
  • Create unit and integration test processes to ensure design validity and reliability, and exercise prototypes past their thermal, mechanical, and electrical limits to understand failure modes.
  • Collaborate effectively across interdisciplinary engineering teams.
  • Prepare supporting safety and engineering documentation for your designs and be responsible for the training and safety of any technicians who operate or test it.
Requirements
  • A background in both analog and digital design.
  • Bachelor's degree or higher in electrical engineering.

    • Excellent fundamental and comprehensive knowledge of electrical engineering concepts related to circuit design, calibration, and testing of mixed signal systems.
    • Basic understanding of switch mode power electronics and electrothermal design concepts.
    • Knowledge of craftsmanship skills involved in electronics construction, such as PCB creation, circuit card assembly, soldering, etc.
    • Understanding of the utility and applicability of hardware development processes.
    • Comprehensive understanding of test equipment like oscilloscopes, signal generators, differential probes, multimeters, bench supplies, electronic loads, etc.
Desired Qualifications
  • Advanced degree or 10+ years relevant work experience.
  • Experience in high-reliability designs is a plus, and while embedded design experience is not required, exposure to it at a minimum is preferred.
  • Exposure to and/or comfort with high voltages and currents: design work will include exposure to voltages in excess of 1kV and currents over 400A.
  • Experience with high-reliability systems engineering, component derating, worst-case analysis, reliability analysis, and fault-tolerant systems.
  • Experience at startup companies or with innovative interdisciplinary teams, including:
    • Comfort working with ambiguity and uncertainty.
    • Ability to proactively evolve work to meet the changing needs of the company.
    • Willingness to question and refine prior requirements.
    • Strong interpersonal and organizational skills.
    • Open-mindedness about possible solutions, conventional or unconventional.
    • Ability to identify problems, willingness to call them out constructively, and dedication to resolving them.
    • A history of successful mentorships, training other engineers, teaching of seminars, or authoring technically focused web pages or whitepapers.
