Descrizione del lavoro

Ultima Genomics seeks an Electrical Engineer II to shape the electrical design of next‑gen sequencing instruments. This on‑site role in Fremont, CA collaborates with firmware, mechanical, and software teams to deliver reliable, high‑performance electronics.

You will design PCBs, manage components, run tests, and document changes across the product lifecycle, leveraging Altium or KiCad and SPICE for validation.

Competenze

• BS in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• 2+ years of relevant industry experience.
• Hands-on experience designing custom PCBs and mixed-signal electronics with embedded microcontrollers.
• Experience collaborating with firmware engineers on hardware–software integration and with mechanical and other engineering teams on design integration.
• Strong understanding of signal and power integrity.
• Proficiency with Altium Designer or KiCad for schematic capture and PCB layout creation and review; SPICE for simulations.
• Experience designing industrial electrical systems, including power-supply sizing, wire-harness design, and electrical enclosure layouts.
• Knowledge of EMI/EMC mitigation techniques; strong troubleshooting skills with measurement equipment.
• Excellent organizational and communication skills; ability to work independently and collaboratively.
• Experience with Python for test automation and data analysis is a strong plus.

Mansioni

• Shape the technical direction of next-generation automated sequencing instruments, taking electronic designs from concept through production across robotics, precision motion control, high-speed data acquisition, mixed-signal electronics, and test automation
• Translate system requirements into electrical specifications, participate in design reviews and risk assessments, and support applicable safety, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and regulatory compliance activities
• Design custom printed circuit boards (PCBs) and wire harnesses for complex electromechanical systems, including component selection, schematic capture, layout collaboration, and design documentation
• Define and execute experiments to verify hardware and firmware functionality, characterize performance, and evaluate board-level failure modes
• Perform prototype testing, document findings and design improvements, and support new product integration, manufacturing readiness, and the transition to volume production
• Design automated test and measurement systems to identify component-level failures; troubleshoot electrical issues and collaborate with cross-functional teams and vendors to determine root causes and implement corrective actions
• Develop build, test, and training documentation; maintain electrical design records, bills of materials, and engineering changes; and manage component obsolescence and alternate-part qualification throughout the product lifecycle
• Other job duties as assigned
