Electrical Engineer

The role

You will lead the design, development, and validation of electrical subsystems for the SmartMast platform. This involves the full lifecycle from schematic capture and PCB layout to board bring-up and environmental validation.

What you will do

• Create schematics and multi-layer board layouts using industry-standard EDA tools.
• Oversee PCB fabrication and assembly partners, managing BOMs and performing DFM/DFA reviews.
• Integrate and interface peripherals and sensor payloads.
• Design rugged power delivery networks including battery integration and surge suppression.
• Perform hands-on electrical bring-up, validation, and board-level troubleshooting.
• Drive design-for-reliability initiatives for shock, vibration, IP rating, and thermal conditions.
• Support enclosure packaging and harness design with mechanical engineering.
• Maintain engineering documentation including schematics, test procedures, and hardware change logs.
• Collaborate with software and AI teams to validate hardware stability and signal integrity.

Nice to have

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• 6+ years of experience designing, bringing up, and delivering production-grade embedded hardware and mixed-signal systems.
• Proficiency with schematic capture and PCB layout tools (e.g., Altium Designer, OrCAD).
• Strong foundation in high-speed signal integrity, power electronics, and mixed-signal design principles.
• Hands-on experience with hardware bring-up, bench validation, and lab debugging using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and multimeters.
• Familiarity with camera and high-speed data interfaces (CSI, USB3, Ethernet, PCIe) as well as serial buses (I2C, SPI, UART, CAN).
• Experience designing ruggedized electronics built for environmentally constrained, high-reliability, or outdoor deployments.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills across multidisciplinary hardware, software, and mechanical teams.
• experience with NVIDIA embedded platforms (Jetson), RF design considerations, or marine/aerospace hardware deployments.

Benefits

• Flexible working hours
• Opportunity to work on innovative projects with a global impact
