We are seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to own the design, development, and validation of complex electrical systems for mission-critical, connected hardware.

As a founding member of our hardware team, you will have significant ownership across the full hardware lifecycle, helping establish the technical architecture and engineering standards needed to scale.

You will work across schematics design and layout, RF coexistence, mechanical integration, form factor, and hardware debugging, solving complex challenges across cellular and Land Mobile Radio (LMR) frequencies, power, thermal performance, and signal integrity.

What You’ll Do

  • Electrical & Board Design: Develop mixed-signal schematics and drive PCB layout across application processors, RF transceivers, power management, battery charging, memory, and high-speed digital interfaces.
  • RF Integration & Coexistence: Design and validate RF and radio systems across multiple wireless technologies, addressing RF performance, coexistence, interference, isolation, and electromagnetic compatibility.
  • Mechanical Integration: Partner closely with Mechanical and Industrial Design to optimize board layout, component placement, antenna integration, and form factor within tight physical constraints.
  • Bring-Up & Debugging: Bring up, characterize, and troubleshoot hardware using oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers, power supplies, and other electrical and RF test equipment.
  • Production Readiness: Drive component selection, Bills of Materials (BOMs), design documentation, verification, and electrical readiness from concept through certification and mass production.
  • Technical Leadership: Provide technical direction to electrical engineering team members and external design partners, reviewing designs and driving hardware objectives to completion.

What You Bring

  • 7+ years of embedded electronics design experience and a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or a related discipline, with experience in high-speed, high-density, battery-powered, or low-power systems.
  • Demonstrated experience with PCB design and layout, RF integration and coexistence, mechanical integration, and hardware bring-up/debugging for highly integrated devices.
  • Experience across embedded subsystems, including application processors, microcontrollers, high-speed memory, power delivery, battery/charging circuitry, wireless/RF integration, and high-speed or wired interfaces.
  • Proven experience taking electronics from concept through schematic and PCB design, verification, certification, manufacturing ramp, and mass production.
  • Strong understanding of RF coexistence and interference across cellular and regulated frequency bands, along with signal integrity, power integrity, and electromagnetic compatibility considerations.
  • Hands-on experience with Cadence OrCAD and Allegro, as well as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers, power supplies, and related electrical and RF test equipment.
  • Experience designing rigid, flex, or rigid-flex PCBs and working within tight mechanical and form-factor constraints.
  • Experience designing electronics to meet U.S. and international hardware, wireless, and safety standards and regulations.
  • Experience working with design partners, Original Design Manufacturers (ODMs), or Joint Design Manufacturers (JDMs) and collaborating effectively across cross-functional and geographically distributed teams.
  • Flexibility to travel domestically up to 50% of the time, as needed, to support the team.
