CultureMill Recruiting; Los Angeles (CA); On-site; USD 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

CultureMill Recruiting’s client in Los Angeles is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to design and build custom electronics powering automated production systems. You’ll own designs from architecture through bring-up, test, and production, and regularly explore EE areas beyond your current scope.

Strong fundamentals and first-principles mindset are required. You’ll collaborate across mechanical, software, and controls teams, applying high-speed data, sensors, firmware, and FPGA know-how to

Qualifications

• BS in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a similar discipline (MS/PhD a plus)
• 5+ years designing and delivering complex electrical hardware (8+ a plus)
• Broad EE fundamentals and comfort solving problems from first principles
• Hands-on analog and digital circuit design: schematics, analysis, prototyping, and PCB design
• Ideally, you've taken new hardware products from concept through production, not just incremental updates to legacy designs
• Bonus: sensors, embedded microcontrollers and firmware, or FPGA hardware and software development
• Bonus: high-speed data acquisition, high-accuracy motion systems, high-speed scanning, optomechanical assemblies, or complex electromechanical systems
• Bonus: industrial automation or robotics
• Able to work on-site in Los Angeles five days a week, and a U.S. person (U.S. citizen or green card holder) per ITAR requirements

Responsibilities
