Job Description

We are seeking a Principal Electrical Engineer to support the design, development, and integration of advanced electronic systems. This individual will serve as a senior technical contributor with a strong foundation in traditional electrical engineering, particularly PCB/board-level design, RF systems, communications, and digital signal processing (DSP).

The ideal candidate is a hands-on electrical engineer who can own complex hardware designs from concept through development, integration, and testing. This role is focused on board-level electrical engineering rather than semiconductor or IC/chip design.

Day-to-Day

Responsibilities include:

• Design and develop complex printed circuit boards (PCBs) and board-level electronic systems.
• Own or contribute to schematic capture, component selection, PCB layout, board bring-up, debugging, and hardware validation.
• Design and integrate electronics involving RF and communications systems.
• Support electrical designs incorporating digital signal processing (DSP) technologies.
• Conduct design reviews, troubleshoot hardware issues, and identify root causes of electrical performance problems.
