Job summary

Mesh Optical Technologies is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to lead electrical development across the platform, owning architecture, design, and validation of complex high-speed PCB assemblies while building evaluation and test infrastructure for production release.

This hands-on, high-ownership role requires collaboration with product, firmware, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to achieve production readiness and robust DFM/DFT integration.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in electrical engineering or related field.
• 6+ years designing complex high-speed hardware with production release.
• Strong schematic capture and multilayer PCB layout experience (Altium).
• Deep knowledge of signal integrity, power integrity, high-speed interfaces.
• Hands-on lab experience with oscilloscopes, VNAs, TDR, BERTs.
• Experience leading board bring-up and cross-functional issue resolution.
• Experience with DFM/DFT and production readiness.
• Willing to work extended hours as needed.

Responsibilities

• Architect and design multilayer PCB assemblies for high-speed hardware.
• Define electrical system architecture with trade-offs among performance, signal integrity, thermal constraints, manufacturability.
• Lead SI/PI analysis and simulations to close margins before fabrication.
• Own board bring-up, validation, and production debug workflows.
• Develop evaluation platforms for new silicon, optics, and interconnect components.
• Define validation strategy for high-speed SerDes and interfaces.
• Develop automated end-of-line test and firmware flashing infrastructure.
• Collaborate with manufacturing on DFM, DFT, and production robustness.
• Analyze yield trends and root-cause hardware failures.
• Contribute to electrical design standards and documentation.
