Senior Hardware Engineer, Analog & Mixed-Signal

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Define the analog and mixed-signal architecture for next-generation LiDAR modules, setting technical direction across TIAs, ADCs, precision current sources, and power delivery (LDOs, switching regulators).
• Act as the technical authority on signal integrity, power integrity, and EMI/EMC across the product line — establish the design standards and review processes the rest of the team works to.
• Lead bring-up, characterization, and validation strategy (EVT/DVT/PVT) across multiple concurrent programs, with accountability for robustness, repeatability, and manufacturability at scale.
• Own the highest-stakes design trade-offs (performance, cost, power, integration complexity) that shape product roadmap and unit economics.
• Mentor and provide technical direction to other hardware engineers; serve as the senior technical voice in cross-functional reviews with system architects, mechanical engineering, and firmware.
• Drive supplier and component strategy for critical analog parts, engaging directly with vendors and foundries on custom or constrained components.
• Represent hardware engineering in technical deep-dives with customers, partners, and investors as needed.

Job requirements

• Experience: 10+ years in hands-on hardware development, with end-to-end ownership of multiple systems shipped at high volume.
• Leadership: Track record of setting technical direction for a team or product line — not only individual delivery.
• Technical Strengths: Recognized expert in low-noise analog and high-speed digital design.
• Go-to authority on signal/power integrity, high-density interconnect, and EMI mitigation techniques.
• Proven success driving designs through high-volume DFM, reliability testing, and yield optimization.
• Tools & Skills: Expert in schematic capture and simulation (e.g., SPICE), with deep fluency in Altium or similar.
• Advanced use of SI/PI simulation tools (e.g., HyperLynx, SiWave) and measurement tools (GHz-range scopes, VNAs, spectrum analyzers).
• Extensive experience integrating FPGAs, microcontrollers, and custom analog ASICs at the board level.
