Job summary

GRAM is seeking a leader in embedded hardware to own low-voltage electrical architecture and sensor/compute integration in El Segundo. You will drive mixed-signal design, board bring-up, and EMI/EMC considerations across real-world vibration and environmental changes.

The role focuses on translating requirements into robust electrical interfaces, conducting thorough verification, and delivering released hardware with strong signal integrity and fault handling.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience in electronics or related field.
• Released and brought up embedded electronics for a robot, vehicle, instrument, or similar electromechanical product.
• Designed mixed-signal or digital interfaces with sensors, compute, clocks, and power sequencing.
• Produced connector pinouts and cable/harness documentation with verification of continuity, grounding, shielding and EMI.
• Resolved an electrical integration failure with bench instrumentation and verified fix by retesting.

Responsibilities

• Translate requirements into electrical architectures, interface specs, signal budgets and verification plans.
• Define and verify interfaces for cameras, sensors, encoders, and compute against system requirements.
• Design and release mixed-signal, digital, sensor-interface, power sequencing and controller circuitry with schematics and PCB layouts.
• Own connector selection, pinouts, cabling, shielding, grounding, and electrical acceptance criteria.
• Bring up boards and sensors using oscilloscopes, analyzers, spectrum/network instruments, and programmable supplies.
• Characterize signal integrity, noise, timing, margins, and fault behavior on assemblies.
• Lead electrical integration through design review, fabrication, assembly, programming, calibration, and release.
