• Demonstrated ability to independently design, bring up, debug, and deliver embedded hardware systems, printed wiring assemblies, or major electrical subsystems
  
• Strong experience in analog and digital circuit design, including DC/DC power supplies, mixed-signal circuits, and common digital interfaces (e.g., SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet, USB)
  
• Experience developing in C/C++ and/or VHDL or Verilog
  
• Ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams including engineers, lab technicians, product management, and manufacturing
  
• Must be able to lawfully work within the US and have unrestricted work authorization
  

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with EE design tools (e.g., Mentor Graphics)
  
• Strong experience designing printed wiring boards and printed wiring assemblies from concept through production, including schematic capture, component selection, layout guidance, board bring-up, verification, and manufacturing support
  
• Experience participating in system-level design discussions, electrical architecture reviews, or cross-functional technical tradeoff decisions
  
• Demonstrated interest in growing technical leadership capability, including mentoring others, influencing design direction, and developing broader product/system understanding
  
• Experience with FPGA development tools (e.g., Xilinx, Microsemi, Intel/Altera)
