About the Role

Join a multidisciplinary engineering team developing terahertz imaging systems for the defense and security sector. In this hands-on role, you will lead mixed-signal board bring-up, debugging, and system integration, working across hardware, FPGA, firmware, and mechanical engineering.

What You'll Do

Lead board-level bring-up, power-sequencing validation, and subsystem integration across multiple board designs.

Diagnose signal integrity, power, and RF performance issues, identify root causes, and drive design iterations.

Coordinate schematic updates and layout reviews with an external design firm, from fabrication through characterization and validation.

Work with FPGA, firmware, and systems engineers to validate subsystem and system-level integration.

Develop traceability and test procedures to support increased production volume.

What We're Looking For

Bachelor's or master's degree in Electrical Engineering and 3 to 7 years of relevant experience.

Experience owning mixed-signal board design from schematic through layout in Altium, including controlled-impedance routing and power protection circuits.

Hands-on experience bringing up and debugging complex PCB assemblies, including power sequencing, signal integrity, and mixed-signal validation.

Knowledge of ADCs, DACs, DC/DC converters, RF interfaces, high-speed digital design, and power distribution.

Ability to work independently, identify problems, and contribute across multiple engineering disciplines.

Experience in telecom, radar, or complex sensing systems is beneficial. FPGA bring-up experience, including Petalinux or AMD Kria SOM, is also useful.

Compensation & Benefits

Base salary is $160,000 to $180,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is not available. Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship.

Location

On-site, five days per week in Santa Clara, California.
