Job summary

Neuron Industries in Gardena, CA is building the AI era for industrial hardware. You will be the Founding Electrical Engineer for PCBA products, designing the boards our controllers run on—from SoC compute to industrial I/O and power—and driving bring-up through production.

You will own boards end-to-end, architect embedded systems with firmware and software, and run AI-enabled workflows that accelerate hardware engineering on the manufacturing floor.

Qualifications

• EE fundamentals deep enough to work from first principles.
• Experience taking new electronics from concept through production and bring-up.
• Technical lead with architecture decisions and accountability.
• Proficient with Altium Designer and hands-on in the lab for debugging.
• Bias to ship with fast iterations and solid test data.
• AI-forward: use AI daily in real engineering work and trust it for non-critical tasks.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and test highly reliable industrial electronics and compute systems (SoC compute, industrial I/O, power).
• Own boards end to end: architecture, schematic capture, layout, prototyping, bring-up, validation, test development, and handoff to manufacturing.
• Architect embedded systems with firmware and software; run firmware bring-up on your boards.
• Design for EMC, thermal, vibration, brownouts, surges, and plant-floor harshness.
• Support DFM reviews, fixtures, test points, and yield discussions after first articles.
• Work AI-first to speed up hardware engineering and contribute AI workflows.
