Systems Electrical Engineer - Powering Autonomous Vehicles

Systems Electrical Engineer - Powering Autonomous Vehicles

Overview
We are seeking a hands-on Hardware Design Engineer who thrives in fast-paced, multidisciplinary environments. This role will be central to the development of advanced electrical systems for next-generation sensing technologies used in industrial and automotive applications. You’ll have the opportunity to shape designs from concept to production, working closely with experts across multiple engineering domains.

Key Responsibilities

• System Design:
  Contribute to the architecture, simulation, and optimization of complex electrical systems supporting high-performance LIDAR platforms.
• Circuit Development:
  Drive schematic capture, component selection, and PCB layout, ensuring compliance with DFM principles while achieving signal integrity, power efficiency, and EMC/EMI robustness.
• Prototype Bring-Up:
  Perform hands-on bring-up, debug, and validation of prototype hardware, diagnosing and resolving electrical design issues efficiently.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration:
  
  Partner with firmware, optics, mechanical, and software teams to ensure smooth integration and reliable system-level performance.
• Verification & Validation:
  Author and execute comprehensive EVT test plans, ensuring hardware meets functional requirements, performance benchmarks, and quality standards.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering with 3+ years of relevant experience, or a Master’s degree with 1+ years of experience in hardware product development (industrial, automotive, robotics, or related fields).
• Strong knowledge of high-speed digital and analog circuit design, with experience in signal integrity, power delivery, and noise suppression techniques.
• Familiarity with hardware evaluation methods including test case development, performance monitoring, and automation.
• Hands-on experience using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and data acquisition systems.
• Proficiency in communication protocols such as I2C, SPI, UART, USB, MIPI, and Ethernet.
• Experience with schematic capture and PCB layout tools (e.g., Cadence, Altium) from design through validation.

• Background working in high-volume manufacturing environments.
• Knowledge of automotive qualification standards such as AEC-Q100/200.
• Proficiency with scripting languages such as Python for test automation and data analysis.

This is an opportunity to make a direct impact on the development of cutting-edge sensing hardware. If you are driven by innovation and enjoy tackling challenging design problems, we’d like to hear from you.
