Picogrid is a leading venture-backed defense technology company founded to bridge the decades-long gap between modern technology and the critical demands of national security. Today, we're building the essential infrastructure to unify sensors, autonomy, and operators with our technology deployed in active operations around the world. Our mission is to deliver an operational advantage to secure the United States and its allies.
About this role
Picogrid is seeking a
Senior Electrical Engineer
to design, build, and deploy mission-critical hardware systems that support U.S. defense operations. This is a hands-on role at the intersection of embedded systems, mechanical integration, and high-reliability design, where you will own key electrical components that power connected autonomous systems in the field.
You will own the
full electrical lifecycle
for various hardware products: from rapid prototyping and validation through production and direct field deployment. Your work is not bench-bound; you will collaborate closely with software, mechanical, and deployment teams to ensure systems operate reliably in harsh environments from deserts to flightlines to active field operations. Expect fast iteration and minimal layers between your engineering and the end user, driving real-world mission impact.
Core Responsibilities
- 5+ years of industry experience designing and releasing custom PCBAs into production.
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering.
- Deep understanding of high-speed digital design, signal integrity, power electronics, and common electronic components. Proven experience in schematic capture and PCB design for high-reliability applications (aerospace, defense, or similar industries preferred).
- Proficiency in PCB design software (KiCAD preferred), circuit simulation (LTSpice preferred), and testing tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers). Familiarity with git and CAD (OnShape preferred).
- Growth mindset, results-oriented focus, and proficiency in leveraging modern tools to maximize productivity.
- Ability to interpret and apply design specifications, datasheets, and technical drawings.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with defense, aerospace, or other high-reliability hardware, and designing systems for environmental robustness (temperature, vibration, ingress protection).
Familiarity with RF design, power electronics (including custom magnetics), or sensor integration.
Comfort supporting end-to-end system deployment, including in field settings.
Benefits
- Salary: $180,000 - $220,000
- Meaningful equity
- 401(k) with employer matching.
- Full health, dental, and vision coverage.
- Relocation assistance provided.
- Unlimited PTO (two-week minimum) and 11 paid holidays per year.
- Paid parental leave for both parents.
- Complimentary in-office lunch and fully stocked kitchenette.
- Free EV charging when working on-site.
Export Control Requirements
To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder), (iii) Refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157, or (iv) Asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 1158, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
