Electrical Engineer

Full-time | On-site | Redwood City, CA

About the Role

We’re looking for a hands-on Electrical Engineer to lead the design, development, and deployment of advanced electromechanical and biotechnology systems.

You’ll own projects from concept through field testing — designing PCBs, validating prototypes, and integrating electronics into rugged, real-world systems.

This is an ideal role for an engineer who thrives in fast-paced environments, enjoys full-stack hardware ownership, and wants to build systems that perform under pressure.

If you’re eager to learn quickly, iterate rapidly, and contribute to field-deployable innovations, this position offers an opportunity to have direct, tangible impact.

What You’ll Do

• Design and Develop Hardware: Create PCBs from schematic capture through component selection and layout, including rigid, flex, and rigid-flex designs.

• Prototype and Test: Build and validate early-stage designs through breadboards, test circuits, and rapid prototyping.

• Ensure Manufacturability: Apply design-for-manufacturing (DFM) and design-for-assembly (DFA) principles to ensure scalability from prototype to production.

• Hardware Bring-Up & Debugging: Validate new hardware using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other test equipment.

• Develop Core Circuits: Design and test systems for sensing, actuation, and power management.

• Integrate & Collaborate: Work cross-functionally with mechanical and systems engineers to integrate electronics into complex electromechanical assemblies.

• Field Test & Iterate: Travel for live demonstrations, perform stress testing in real-world conditions, and refine systems based on operator feedback.

Who You Are

• 3–7 years of hands-on experience in electrical or hardware engineering.

• Proficient in schematic design and PCB layout using tools such as KiCad or Altium.

• Skilled in debugging and validation using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and test instrumentation.

• Strong understanding of embedded systems, including serial interfaces like SPI, I2C, and UART.

• Experience integrating low-power or edge computing platforms such as NVIDIA Jetson, NXP i.MX, Qualcomm Snapdragon, or STM32.

• Comfortable with C/C++ or Python for firmware or test development.

• Experience designing ruggedized or field-deployable electronics is a plus.
