Electrical Engineer - Analog & Mixed-Signal

Job Title

Electrical Engineer - Analog & Mixed-Signal

Role Summary

Early-career hardware engineer responsible for analog and mixed-signal electronics for compact LiDAR modules. Work on schematic design, lab bring-up, validation, and cross-functional integration under mentorship from senior engineers.

Experience Level

Entry-level - 0–3 years of hands-on hardware experience (internships, co-ops, and substantial academic or personal projects qualify).

Responsibilities

Primary day-to-day responsibilities include design support, test, and integration of analog/mixed-signal hardware.

• Support analog and mixed-signal circuit design: TIAs, ADCs, precision current sources, LDOs and switching regulators, with senior engineer guidance.
• Assist with schematic capture, component selection, and coordinate PCB layout.
• Perform bring-up, characterization, and EVT/DVT validation per test plans; document results.
• Execute basic signal integrity, power integrity, and EMI/EMC checks with review.
• Use lab equipment (GHz-range oscilloscopes, VNAs, spectrum analyzers, precision supplies) and develop measurement proficiency.
• Collaborate with system architects, mechanical, and firmware teams for system integration.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience for immediate contribution; preferred items listed separately.

• 0–3 years of hands-on hardware experience (industry internships, co-ops, or significant academic/personal projects).
• Solid grounding in analog and digital circuit design fundamentals.
• Comfort working in a lab environment and performing hands-on measurements.
• Exposure to schematic capture tools (Altium or similar) and basic SPICE simulation.
• Familiarity with fundamental test equipment: oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies.

Nice-to-have:

• Coursework or project experience in photonics, optics, or sensing systems.
• Exposure to PCB layout, FPGA/microcontroller integration, or Verilog/Verilog-AMS.
• Experience with RF or analog/RF personal projects, robotics teams, or research.
• Startup experience and a bias toward fast iteration and hands-on problem solving.

Education Requirements

BS or MS in Electrical Engineering or a related field. Practical experience via internships, co-ops, or substantial academic/personal projects is considered relevant for early-career candidates.

Benefits

• Competitive base salary and equity.
• Comprehensive health benefits (Medical, Dental, Vision).
• Unlimited PTO and paid company holidays.
• Team events and company meetups.
