Principal Analog and Mixed Signal Electrical Engineer

The role

You will lead new circuit architectures, signal-chain development, power solutions, and rapid hardware prototyping for future radar products. This role involves designing, simulating, building, and characterizing prototype hardware for radar platforms.

What you will do

• Lead analog, mixed-signal, timing, data-conversion, and power technology development
• Turn emerging system needs into practical receiver interfaces, converter and clocking architectures, power circuits, prototypes, and validated reference designs
• Design, simulate, build, bring up, and characterize prototype hardware
• Collaborate with RF, FPGA, PCB design, systems, mechanical, manufacturing, and key stakeholders
• Apply modern best-practices for reliability, DFM, DFA, signal and power integrity, and testability
• Provide Principal-level leadership through architecture and design reviews, mentoring, and lab investigation

Required qualifications

• BS in Electrical Engineering or a related technical field and at least 12 years of relevant electrical hardware development experience, or an equivalent combination of education and industry experienc
• Strong hands-on experience in analog and mixed-signal circuit design
• Experience with low-noise receiver interfaces, analog-to-digital or digital-to-analog converters, down-conversion or intermediate-frequency circuits, timing, clock distribution, and frequency synthesi
• Broad knowledge of signal-chain analysis, noise, linearity, dynamic range, sampling, jitter, grounding, shielding, signal integrity, power integrity, and EMI or EMC
• Experience with circuit modeling, SPICE simulation, design analysis, PCB implementation, laboratory instrumentation, data acquisition, and automated test
• Experience with power architecture, regulators and converters, power entry and conditioning, protection, sequencing, or higher-power electronic subsystems
• Ability to connect measured results to models, design decisions, operating limits, requirements, and technical risks
• Experience in advanced development, applied research, rapid prototyping, or early hardware technology maturation
• Competence with MATLAB, SPICE tools, Ansys Electronics Desktop, or equivalent analysis and simulation environments
• Ability to communicate complex electrical recommendations clearly across engineering disciplines

Nice to have

• Experience developing hardware for radar, sensing, aerospace, defense, autonomous systems, or other high-reliability and mission-critical products
• Experience with FPGA or SoC hardware integration, high-speed serial interfaces, hardware-in-the-loop testing, or automated prototype characterization

Benefits

• RSU (Restricted Stock Units)
• Fully-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance premiums
• Choice of PPO or HDHP/HSA
• Virtual Care – 98Point6
• Employee Assistance Program
• Mental Health coverage through Springhealth & Talkspace (Premera)
• Travel Assistance Insurance
• Company Paid Life Insurance
• Company Paid Short & Long Term Disability
• Flexible PTO (exempt) / 15 days per year (non-exempt)
• 401(k) match
• Pet Insurance

Before you apply

• Eligibility to handle export-controlled technical data, including ITAR- and EAR-controlled information
• Identify whether you are a U.S. Citizen or green card holder, or have asylum/refugee status in the U.S.
