Job summary

ALSO is seeking a Sr. Staff Electrical Engineer, High Speed Design, to lead hardware architecture for next-generation lightweight EV platforms in Silicon Valley.

You will own embedded system design, HDI PCB layouts, and high-speed interfaces, while driving EMI/EMC strategies and validation across cross-functional teams. The role requires a strong track record in high-density PCB design, MCUs for embedded systems, and mass production readiness.

Qualifications

• B.S. in Electrical Engineering required; M.S. or Ph.D. with a focus on high-speed design or electromagnetics is highly preferred.
• 10+ years of electrical engineering experience with a proven track record of architectural leadership and delivering complex hardware products.
• Extensive experience designing high-density PCBs with deep impedance control and HDI stack-ups.
• Proven experience routing and validating high-speed interfaces (PCIe, USB 3.x, MIPI, Automotive Ethernet etc.).
• Demonstrated experience selecting and integrating high-performance MCUs for heavy embedded systems.
• Strong track record in electromagnetic compatibility, grounding, shielding and noise mitigation.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the technical authority and hardware architect for a cross-functional engineering team developing a next-generation light electric vehicle product line.
• Architect and design custom complex embedded systems, including high-performance MCUs, ICs, power converter controllers, schematic capture, and HDI PCB layouts.
• Drive simulation, analysis, and validation of High-Speed signal integrity and power integrity; optimize PCB stack-ups and power delivery networks.
• Lead EMI/EMC mitigation strategies; ensure hardware passes regulatory standards on the first pass and debug emissions issues.
• Drive the entire module development lifecycle and establish best practices for design and validation per the V-model.
• Collaborate with Systems, FW, Mechanical, Thermal, and Test engineers for reliability and mass production readiness.
• Lead root cause analysis, debugging, and failure analysis of critical vehicle electrical systems and high-speed subsystems.
• Manage relationships with PCB fabricators, silicon vendors, and CM to evaluate components and manufacturing processes.
• Mentor junior engineers and drive technical design reviews to improve engineering efficiency.
