Position Summary & Responsibilities

About the role

We're looking for an Electrical Engineer to own the design of electronic hardware from concept through prototype and into production. You will work alongside our cofounder / CTO who earned 7 patents for electronics. The Electrical Engineer will own the development of products including requirements, schematic capture, PCB layout, fabrication, testing, and QA. This role is best suited for a skilled engineer who wants to move fast and help pioneer the field of electronics in the age of AI.

Ā 

Key responsibilities

  • Drive schematic capture and lead PCB layout including component selection, footprints, and BOM management.

  • Develop and perform circuit simulation and analysis (e.g. SPICE), covering power, signal integrity, timing, and thermal considerations.

  • Design power supplies, sensor interfaces, communication interfaces (IĀ²C, SPI, UART, USB, Ethernet, etc.), and microcontroller/processor subsystems.

  • Bring up and debug prototypes in the lab using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other bench equipment.

  • Collaborate with firmware, mechanical, verification, and test engineers throughout the development cycle.

  • Prepare design documentation, review packages, and support Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and cost reduction efforts.

  • Support compliance activities (EMC/EMI, safety, regulatory) as designs mature.

Ā 

Required qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in EE or equivalent experience.

  • 3+ years of hands-on electronic circuit and PCB design experience.

  • Proficiency with a schematic / PCB design tool (e.g. Altium, Cadence, KiCad, etc).

  • Solid grounding in analog and digital fundamentals, power electronics, and high-speed design concepts.

Key Role Competencies & Evaluation Highlights

Key Role Focus:

Deep technical depth in cybersecurity, infrastructure access management, or developer tooling, evaluated through threat-modeling and architectural rigor.

šŸ“‹ Preparation Priorities (Key Areas to Clarify):
  • 1. Treating security as a compliance checkbox rather than an operational engineering discipline
  • 2. Proposing security controls that completely bottleneck engineering velocity
  • 3. Vague understanding of identity and access management (IAM) or cryptographic primitives
āœØ Recommended Role Alignment Hook:

I engineer rock-solid security architectures that protect critical infrastructure while actually making developers' lives faster and easier.
