Summary

The Staff Electrical Engineer is responsible for supporting the full product development lifecycle of complex circuit boards for automotive LiDAR systems. This role contributes to the design, integration, validation, launch, and sustainment of electrical hardware, working closely with cross‑functional teams to deliver robust, high‑performance products suitable for volume production. The ideal candidate brings strong technical depth in board‑level electrical design and hands‑on problem solving across development and production phases.

Your responsibilities

• Lead and support the design and development of circuit boards for automotive LiDAR products, from concept through production release
• Drive board level architecture, schematic development, component selection, and design trade‑off analysis for mixed‑signal, power, control, and interface circuits
• Collaborate with mechanical, firmware, systems, optics, manufacturing, test, quality, and supply chain teams to ensure successful product integration
• Support bring‑up, debug, integration, validation, and characterization of hardware in both laboratory and system level environments
• Develop and execute test plans to verify performance, functionality, reliability, and design robustness
• Investigate and resolve design, integration, manufacturing, and field issues through structured root‑cause analysis and corrective action
• Support design for manufacturability, design for test, and design for reliability throughout the product lifecycle
• Review PCB layouts to ensure proper implementation of electrical requirements, including power integrity, signal integrity, grounding, thermal considerations, and EMI mitigation
• Generate and maintain technical documentation including design specifications, schematics, test reports, engineering change documentation, and release artifacts
• Support product sustainment activities, including component changes, obsolescence management, supplier issues, yield improvement, and continuous product improvement

Required Skills and Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
• 8+ years of experience in electrical hardware development, with significant experience in board‑level design and product development
