• Extensively document the design, testing, validation, and revision of PCBs.

Core Requirements:

• BS/MS in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline, or equivalent experience.
• 2+ years of experience in an electrical engineering role.
• Proven ability to write and maintain ICDs, wiring diagrams, and test documentation.
• Strong proficiency in component selection, schematic design, and PCB layout (Altium Designer).

Nice to have:

• Component sourcing with strict compliance, such as for aerospace or defense.
• Experience with RF design, including antennas, radios, and communication systems.
• Familiarity with different communication protocols, including I2C, CAN, UART, etc.
• Ability to write low-level firmware for MCUs (STM32s, ESP32s, Atmega, etc.)

Compensation and Benefits:

• $100,000 - $120,000 per year annual salary.
• 0.25% equity via stock options depending on the candidate's experience.
