Key Responsibilities
- PCBA Design & Development: Lead the design of complex, multi-layer PCBAs featuring mixed-signal circuits, FPGA/microcontroller integration, and precision power delivery.
- Precision Analog Design: Design low-noise, high-stability analog front-ends for sensors and detectors (e.g., photodetectors, spectrometers, other transducers) critical to instrument or sensor accuracy.
- Schematic & Layout: Perform schematic capture and supervise or execute high-density PCB layouts, ensuring proper grounding, shielding, and signal/power integrity (SI/PI) for sensitive measurements.
- Prototyping & Validation: Bring up new hardware, perform "smoke tests," and conduct deep-dive debugging using oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and logic analyzers.
- Compliance & Regulatory: Design for and engage in testing for EMC/EMI, CE, UL, and RoHS/REACH/WEEE compliance. Ensure hardware meets safety and environmental standards for global markets.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with Mechanical, Firmware and Software engineering teams to ensure seamless system integration and optimized product footprints.
- Lifecycle Management: Manage the Bill of Materials (BOM), select components with an eye for long-term availability, and support manufacturing during the NPI (New Product Introduction) phase.
Required Qualifications
- Education: Bachelor's or higher degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field.
- Experience: 7-10+ years of experience in electronics design. Experience within the analytical instrument, sensing, medical device, robotics or aerospace industries would be advantageous
- Senior-level Mastery:
- Proven track record of designing and releasing complex PCBAs to production.
- Expertise in CAD tools (e.g., Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro, or Mentor Graphics).
- Deep understanding of signal integrity, power integrity, and thermal management in compact enclosures.
Preferred Skills
- Familiarity with FPGA development (Verilog/VHDL) or embedded C programming.
- Altium Designer / Altium 365 experience
- Experience with DFx (Design for Manufacturing, Assembly, and Test).
- Experience with working for start-ups and familiarity with new product introduction
