Electrical Engineer, Mixed-Signal Hardware (Security Imaging Startup)

A hardware startup is building an advanced imaging system for security screening in public spaces, and it needs an electrical engineer to take charge of its mixed-signal boards. The job is hands-on and broad: you make engineering calls usually left to far more senior people, and you work alongside mechanical, AI, firmware and FPGA teams.

What you’ll do

• Lead bring-up at the board level, validate power sequencing and integrate subsystems across roughly half a dozen board designs
• Chase down the causes of RF, power and signal-integrity faults, then drive quick design iterations to fix them
• Work with an outside design firm on schematic updates and layout reviews, handling each new revision from fabrication to characterization and then validation
• Partner with systems, firmware and FPGA colleagues to confirm that integration holds up at subsystem and system levels
• Create traceability records and test procedures as production volumes ramp

What you bring

• Three to seven years of mixed-signal hardware bring-up, debug and board-level integration, using Altium
• Complete ownership of board designs, including controlled-impedance routing and power protection circuits
• Command of mixed-signal design, including ADCs, DACs, DC/DC converters and RF interfaces
• BS or MS in electrical engineering
• Curiosity and breadth, with willingness to dig into several domains beyond your own specialty
• A plus: telecom, radar or complex sensing experience, or FPGA bring-up
