Senior Electrical Engineer

Are you driven to engineer a sustainable future? Do you possess deep electrical engineering skills at the intersection of power supply, analog, and high-speed digital design? If you want to help build the foundational technology that will redefine the world's largest industry, the built environment, this is the position for you.

About PassiveLogic®

PassiveLogic is the first fully autonomous platform for buildings. We've reinvented the fundamental principles of automation to democratize technology, optimize buildings, and reduce the world's carbon footprint. We are a team of technologists, engineers, and creatives dedicated to making a sustainable impact through real-world solutions.

We are looking for team members who have a passion for technology and want to work on cutting-edge problems with real-world solutions. Our culture is built on bringing together the most talented engineers, thinkers, and creatives-backed by the world's leading investors-working together to make the future a reality.

About the Role

This is a career-defining opportunity to play a crucial role in a hyper-scale AI company that is transforming the future of autonomous systems, energy, and the built environment.

For our next Electrical Engineer, we're looking for someone who loves to crack the kinds of problems other engineers avoid, who thrives on responsibility and ownership, and who wants to help define the technology that will reshape the built environment.

In this role, you will be one of the owners of the electronics for the PassiveLogic ecosystem, including developing a wide range of compute, automation, sensor, and wireless product solutions. Projects here are diverse and require a wide array of expertise ranging from compute engines to environmental sensors, offline power supplies, industrial networking, and wireless communications.

What you'll do

Power Design : Own DCDC power supply design (bonus points if you know ACDC).

Analog Mastery : Develop and validate analog circuitry that interfaces smoothly with the Sense Family, the Hive, and the rest of the PassiveLogic ecosystem.

High-Speed Digital : Design and lay out high-speed digital circuits that keep up with our autonomous platform's computational demands.

System Thinking : Collaborate across mechanical, embedded, and software teams to deliver robust, integrated solutions.

Hands-On Prototyping : Bring up boards, debug, and iterate quickly-from whiteboard sketches to oscilloscopes in the lab.

What you'll bring

If your experience does not meet all our posted requirements below, we'd still love to hear from you. We are looking for practitioners who are passionate about understanding people, committed to lifelong learning, and driven by the love of what they do. If that's you, please apply!

We value curiosity as much as experience. We look for people who enjoy learning, challenge conventional thinking, and take pride in continuously improving their craft.

You must have

• A B.S. in Electrical Engineering, a related field, or equivalent in experience
• 6 years of proven experience in at least two of the following areas, preferably all three :
  
  • Strong power supply experience (DCDC / ACDC)
  • Solid chops in analog design
  • Sharp high-speed digital design skills (signal integrity, grounding, noise, layout)
    -> In your application, include the most precise experience of yours from each of these areas.
• Exceptional communication skills : An ability to communicate clearly and effectively working across teams.
• Organized and strategic : You bring structure to complexity, planning designs and experiments with foresight instead of firefighting.
• Collaborative mindset : You thrive in cross-disciplinary teams, knowing the best hardware is built when everyone's brainpower is in the mix.
• Adaptability : Comfortable in a fast-paced startup environment, eager to learn, iterate, and innovate.
• Problem solving : You own this role. When issues arise, be the empowered force that solves them, rolling-up to product management and leadership.

You should have

• Track record of designing and shipping real hardware.
• A love of debugging and solving gnarly problems.
• Familiarity with safety, EMI/EMC, and radio compliance and testing.

It's helpful to have

• Ability to balance rigor and speed in fast-moving projects.
• A desire to architect projects; not just implement them
• Experience with designing, developing, testing, and deploying basic firmware
• Experience interfacing with overseas vendors and supporting the manufacturing process.

We know there are candidates who might not fit everything we've described above, or who might have experience and skills we haven't considered. PassiveLogic can sometimes be flexible enough to shift responsibilities to the right person, or otherwise identify open or upcoming roles that may better fit your professional background. Even if you don't meet all the requirements above, we still want to hear from you.

Compensation, Benefits & Perks:

• Competitive compensation
• Generous equity share package
• Medical, dental and vision coverage
• Disability and life Insurance options
• Flex PTO
• Team-building events
• Free catered lunch in the office Monday - Friday
• Free ski pass (We are at the base of Big Cottonwood Canyon)
• Free National Park pass
• Onsite Gym

A Note on Working Onsite:

This role is based in our Salt Lake City headquarters. We believe that creativity and cohesion flows best when we are all together. When you're constantly innovating, transforming whole industries, inventing new products and processes, and creating a more sustainable future through technology-and we are doing all these things-we believe we're better as a team in-person. That's why all of our teams work from one of our office locations, five days a week.

When applying, include:

• A cover letter telling us why you're the perfect candidate for PassiveLogic
• A resume
• Extra mile - include a description of a project (of any type) you personally created, devised, built, managed, organized, or designed that was of your own self-initiative

Diversity and inclusion

Diversity, inclusion, and belonging is woven into our values and everything we do. We welcome all-come as you are and bring your whole self. We are proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer. We celebrate diversity every day by maintaining a safe and inclusive environment for our employees at every stage of their careers.
