Job summary

Valinor is building AI-enabled wearables for mission-critical environments. We seek an Electrical Engineer to own electronics from circuit boards to firmware, collaborating with mechanical and software teams to move from prototype to field-ready hardware.

You will design PCBs, assemble and test devices like glasses and peripherals, and shape power management and system architecture for future capabilities.

Qualifications

• 2–4 years of electrical engineering experience in hands-on hardware development.
• Experience building electronic devices, circuit boards, or hardware prototypes.
• Strong experience designing PCBs, including schematic capture and layout.
• Comfort assembling, soldering, testing, and debugging boards by hand.
• Experience with small components, down to 0402-level parts and stencils.
• Experience with firmware or software for hardware control, testing, or embedded systems.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop circuit boards for Reflex hardware, including both schematic and layout.
• Build, assemble, test, and debug electronic devices, including glasses and peripheral hardware.
• Work hands-on with compact PCB assemblies, small components, stencils, and fine-pitch parts.
• Select parts and help shape system level design including power management, board-level architecture, and overall function of devices.
• Evaluate sensors, electronic components, and new hardware integrations for future product capabilities.
• Write firmware and software for hardware control, testing, debugging, and device operation.
• Support board bring-up, failure analysis, and fast iteration across prototype builds.
• Collaborate closely with the mechanical engineering team to integrate electronics into wearable form factors.
• Help move hardware quickly from early prototype to functional, field-ready systems.
