Job description

ELECTRICAL ENGINEER

Mesh Optical Technologies was founded on the belief that optical photons will be at the center of advanced technologies in the coming century. Making advanced technology ubiquitous means building at scale, and that’s exactly what we’re doing at Mesh.

Our products integrate precision optics and advanced packaging. The electrical systems that drive, control, and test them must meet the same performance and manufacturability bar. We are seeking an Electrical Engineer to design, validate, and debug high-speed PCB assemblies across our optical hardware platform. You will work closely with senior engineers to support board bring‑up, signal integrity validation, and development of the test infrastructure required for production.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Design and support multilayer PCB assemblies for high‑speed optical hardware, including power delivery, signal routing, and connector/interface selection
• Assist with schematic capture and PCB layout under senior engineering guidance, applying controlled impedance routing and signal integrity best practices
• Support board bring‑up, electrical validation, and lab debugging for prototype and production hardware
• Perform signal integrity validation using lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, VNAs, TDR, logic analyzers) and correlate measurements to design intent
• Support development of evaluation platforms for new silicon, interconnect, and photonic components
• Contribute to end‑of‑line test infrastructure, including test fixture design, firmware flashing workflows, and automated validation sequences
• Work cross‑functionally with firmware, mechanical, optical, and manufacturing engineering teams to ensure electrical designs support system integration and production scalability
• Support electrical documentation, including schematics, BOMs, assembly drawings, and test procedures

QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in electrical engineering or a related discipline
• 2+ years of experience designing or validating hardware systems (internships or substantive project experience considered)
• Experience with schematic capture and PCB layout tools (Altium or equivalent)
• Foundational understanding of signal integrity, controlled impedance routing, and high‑speed PCB design principles
• Hands‑on experience with lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power supplies, spectrum analyzers)
• Strong debugging and problem‑solving skills
• Willingness to work extended hours and weekends as needed

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE

• Experience with high‑speed digital interfaces (e.g., SerDes, PCIe, Ethernet, LVDS, or MIPI)
• Familiarity with firmware flashing and debug workflows (JTAG, SWD, ISP)
• Exposure to automated test or manufacturing environments, including test fixture development or production test integration
• Scripting or data analysis experience (e.g., Python, MATLAB) for test automation or measurement post‑processing
• Experience with power integrity analysis, PDN design, or power supply selection and validation
• Familiarity with EMC/EMI design practices and regulatory compliance considerations
• Experience with rigid‑flex or high‑density interconnect (HDI) PCB design
• Familiarity with configuration management and revision control for electrical designs

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS

Pay range:
Electrical Engineer: $120,000.00 - $150,000.00/per year

Title and base salary are determined on a case by case basis commensurate with experience and merit.

In addition to base salary, compensation for this role includes:

• Eligibility for long‑term incentives including company stock options and discretionary bonuses awarded for exceptional achievements.
• Comprehensive medical, vision, and dental insurance with significant cost covered by the company for yourself and dependents.
• Paid parental leave and flexible PTO (3 weeks accrued vacation and 10 company holidays per year).
• 401(k) retirement plan access.
• Relocation assistance to sunny Los Angeles.
