Required Skills
Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Design
Linux/Unix
Requirements
  • Have a minimum of 2 years of experience designing and debugging electronics
  • Are an electrical engineering generalist, comfortable with analog and digital design, PCB layout, validation, and debugging techniques
  • Have at least basic familiarity with embedded systems (microcontroller firmware developed in C/C++, embedded Linux) or another software engineering discipline
  • Are hands-on and interested in supporting your designs throughout the product life cycle, from early research to debugging field failures
Responsibilities
  • Design and build prototypes and production electronic systems, including circuit design, PCB layout, embedded firmware development, bring up and validation
  • Own projects, not skills -- this role is for a “full-stack” engineer with a focus on shipping products, not a specialist in any one area of electronics engineering
  • Go beyond the board -- be responsible for the design of subsystems such as sensors, actuators, and optoelectronics that require tradeoffs between electrical and mechanical requirements
  • Back up your design decisions with data gathered through simulations and experiments
  • Grow into owning larger system architecture design and other forms of technical leadership if desired
