Electrical Engineer
True Talent Solutions Partners · Santa Clara · onsite
ABOUT THE ROLE
Join a small engineering team developing terahertz imaging systems for security and public safety applications. In this hands-on role, you will lead mixed-signal board bring-up, debug, and integration, working closely with systems, FPGA, firmware, and mechanical teams.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Lead board-level bring-up, power sequencing validation, and subsystem integration across multiple board designs.
- Investigate signal integrity, power, and RF performance issues, identify root causes, and drive design iterations.
- Coordinate schematic updates and layout reviews with an external design firm, from fabrication through characterization and validation.
- Work with FPGA, firmware, and systems engineers to validate subsystem and system-level integration.
- Develop traceability and test procedures to support increased production volume.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- A bachelor's or master's degree in Electrical Engineering and 3 to 7 years of experience in mixed-signal hardware bring-up, debug, and board-level integration.
- Experience with complex PCB assemblies, including power sequencing, signal integrity, and mixed-signal validation.
- Knowledge of ADCs, DACs, DC/DC converters, RF interfaces, high-speed digital design, and power distribution.
- Experience with Altium or similar PCB CAD tools, schematic review, and lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and logic analyzers.
- Ability to identify and solve problems independently, collaborate across disciplines, and work beyond a narrow specialty.
- Experience in telecom, radar, or complex sensing systems is useful. FPGA bring-up, Petalinux, AMD Kria SOM, or Python experience is also relevant.
