Senior Electrical Engineer

Senior Electrical EngineerAOSense, Inc. is the leading developer and manufacturer of innovative quantum technologies employing atom optics. Our devices use frequency-stabilized lasers and atoms in a vacuum cell to measure accelerations, rotations, magnetic fields, and time with unparalleled accuracy and stability. Our staff includes physicists and engineers with expertise covering a wide array of disciplines. Our teams are dynamic and fast paced since our hardware is cutting edge.We are seeking a hands-on electrical engineer to design and implement control systems for fieldable atom optic (AO) gyroscopes, accelerometers, absolute gravimeters, gravity gradiometers, inertial measurement units (IMUs), magnetometers, and atomic frequency standards. The control hardware for AO sensors spans a broad range of technologies including low-noise analog, low-jitter digital, rf/microwave, high voltage, microcontrollers, systems on a chip (SoCs), field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), and application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs). An ideal candidate will have an unusually broad background covering several of these diverse technologies. As a Senior Electrical Engineer at AOSense, you will work with scientists and engineers to define control system requirements and architectures, will oversee the fabrication and testing of AO sensor control hardware, and will support the completed hardware through the performance validation phase. You will help to guide the development of future generations of quantum-atomic devices as they transition from the laboratory into the field.Responsibilities:Collaborate with physicists, instrument designers, and code developers to specify sensor control requirements and make optimal trade-offsGuide the definition of control architectures for sensorsDesign low-noise analog, digital, and rf/microwave electronicsIterate existing electronics designs to adapt them for new operating conditionsConduct and participate in design reviewsCreate schedules and budgets for control system developmentCreate work plans for electronics staffTrack progress of electronics staff relative to project schedulesManage outsourced electronics developmentCollaborate with coders on development of software, firmware, and gatewareDocument new devices with block diagrams, schematics, interface control documents, bills of material, cable drawings, test procedures, and datasheetsContribute to proposals for further sensor development and applications
