Principal Electrical Engineer

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Architect and develop analog and mixed-signal electronics for compact, high-performance hardware modules, using TIAs, ADCs, precision current sources, and power supplies like LDOs and switching regulators.
• Own designs from concept through production, including schematic capture, component selection, and PCB layout in collaboration with layout engineers.
• Ensure signal integrity, power integrity, and EMI/EMC compliance across high-speed and noise-sensitive interfaces.
• Define and execute bring-up, characterization, and validation plans (e.g., DVT, EVT), with a focus on robustness, repeatability, and manufacturability.
• Analyze design trade-offs (performance, cost, power, integration complexity) in the context of tightly constrained product architectures.
• Partner closely with system architects, mechanical engineers, and firmware teams to ensure seamless integration and system-level reliability.

Job requirements

• Experience: 7+ years in hands-on hardware development, with end-to-end ownership of systems that shipped at scale.
• Execution: Demonstrated ability to deliver high-reliability designs under tight constraints on power, cost, form factor, and schedule.
• Technical Strengths: Deep expertise in low-noise analog and high-speed digital design.
• Strong grounding in signal/power integrity, high-density interconnect, and EMI mitigation techniques.
• Familiarity with high-volume design-for-manufacturing (DFM), reliability testing, and yield optimization.
• Tools & Skills: Proficient in schematic capture and simulation (e.g., SPICE), with working knowledge of Altium or similar.
• Experience with SI/PI simulation tools (e.g., HyperLynx, SiWave) and measurement tools (GHz-range scopes, VNAs, spectrum analyzers).
• Familiarity with board-level integration of FPGAs, microcontrollers, and custom analog ASICs.
