What You'll Do

As an Electrical Engineer II, you'll play a key role in designing, developing, integrating, and testing advanced electronics systems used in AI-powered platforms and environmental instrumentation, for both military and commercial applications.

• Design, prototype, and test circuit boards, sensor interfaces, and embedded system electronics, leading assigned tasks from requirements through validation and documentation
• Contribute to integrating embedded processors, FPGAs, and AI modules into low-power, compact form factors
• Work closely with mechanical, software, and systems engineers to ensure hardware designs meet overall system requirements
• Interface with suppliers and manufacturers on component selection, prototyping, and manufacturability
• Develop and run test procedures for functional validation, EMI compliance, thermal performance, and reliability; troubleshoot using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and similar tools
• Create and maintain schematics, PCB layouts, BOMs, and design documentation in line with industry standards (IPC, MIL-STD, ISO)
• Support hardware integration, testing, and debugging during lab evaluations and field deployments, including customer demos

Requirements

What You'll Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent, plus 2-3 years of experience in complex board design, testing, and troubleshooting
• Experience in product development, including work with outsource design and development partners
• Proficiency with schematic capture and PCB layout tools (e.g., Altium Designer, KiCAD)
• Experience with embedded microcontrollers, sensors, power systems, and interface protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN)
• Strong understanding of lab test methods and tools (oscilloscopes, signal generators, logic analyzers)
• Effective communicator who works well independently and in a team

Nice to Have

• Background in automotive, EV, AV, aerospace, or space industries
• Familiarity with guidance and navigation technologies, or inertial/magnetic sensors
