Job description

Kirkland, Washington - Full Time

Looking to develop advanced electronics for metrology products that benefit society? Do you want to work at a highly stable company that values team members and work-life balance? We are looking for an Electronics Engineer or a Senior Electronics Engineer who wants to innovate and grow to the next level.

You will be part of a dynamic team to research and develop next generation dimensional metrology solutions to reach sub-micron levels of precision and beyond. Your work will range from making significant improvements to current products, to developing brand new products from the ground up. Your efforts will directly contribute to solutions that allow Mitutoyo’s customers to maintain high quality for the products that they manufacture.

In your role, you will be responsible for designing, integrating and debugging board-level mixed-signal electronics for proof-of-concept prototypes, engineering prototypes, and test systems. Your designs will interface with sensors and our in-house designed custom integrated circuits, involve signal processing and conditioning, and often incorporate FPGAs and microprocessors. Have an idea you want to try out? Our innovation projects give you room to explore new ideas. In addition, you will collaborate with talented colleagues here and abroad and have opportunities to learn new skills.

WHAT YOU NEED TO SUCCEED

You have experience in board-level analog and mixed-signal circuit design and simulation, typically operating at 5 V and below. Senior candidates should demonstrate the ability to independently design, simulate, and validate these circuits and make system-level design decisions. You are passionate about technology, take initiative, and enjoy collaborating to solve challenging technical problems. You are willing to dig deeply into technical details when needed. Communicating technical information simply and clearly is vitally important. Familiarity with precision sensing techniques such as optical, inductive, or capacitive sensing is very useful. Familiarity with FPGAs, microprocessors, microcontrollers, DSPs, and SoC devices is valuable for board-level hardware design and integration. FPGA logic design and verification using Verilog or SystemVerilog is beneficial but not required. Experience with digital ASIC design is also beneficial.

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS

The salary range is $80,000-$120,000 per year for Electronics Engineer and $110,000-$150,000 per year for Senior Electronics Engineer. The successful candidate’s salary will be determined based on job-related experience/ knowledge/ skills, education, and complexity and responsibility of the role. Benefits include 100% paid medical, dental, vision insurance (75% for dependents), 100% paid life and disability insurance, 6% matching 401k, 15 vacation days, 12 paid holidays, 10 paid sick days per year, and eligibility for performance based annual bonus.
