Santa Clara, CA. Posted 16 days ago

The role

You will design, develop, and validate high-performance electronic systems for robotic platforms. This includes owning the development of complex digital circuits and PCBAs from architecture through system integration.

What you will do

  • Design and develop high-speed digital circuits and complex multilayer PCBAs.
  • Define hardware architectures, select components, and evaluate design trade-offs.
  • Design and integrate high-speed interfaces such as PCIe, DDR, USB, Ethernet, and MIPI.
  • Perform signal integrity, power integrity, and timing analyses.
  • Collaborate with mechanical, software, systems, and integration teams.
  • Lead PCB design reviews, hardware bring-up, debugging, design verification, and validation testing.
  • Partner with vendors and manufacturers for fabrication, assembly, sourcing, and DFM.
  • Drive hardware development from concept through prototyping, testing, and production release.

Required qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • 5+ years of electrical engineering experience designing high-speed digital circuits, complex PCBAs, or embedded electronic systems.
  • Strong experience with high-speed PCB design, multilayer board stack-ups, impedance control, and differential pair routing.
  • Hands-on experience designing high-speed interfaces such as PCIe, DDR, USB, Ethernet, or MIPI.
  • Proficiency with eCAD tools for schematic capture, PCB layout, and circuit simulation.
  • Strong understanding of signal integrity, power integrity, timing analysis, and electromagnetic interference (EMI/EMC).
  • Experience with board bring-up, debugging, and validation using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other diagnostic tools.
  • Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and ability to independently drive hardware designs while collaborating across teams.

Nice to have

  • Master’s or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • Expert proficiency with Altium Designer.
  • Experience with signal and power integrity simulation tools such as Ansys SIwave, HyperLynx, or similar.
  • Experience designing hardware for robotics, autonomous systems, industrial automation, or other complex electromechanical platforms.
  • Familiarity with high-speed connectors, cables, EMI/EMC compliance, and thermal management.
