Electrical Engineer

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. This hands-on electrical engineering role focuses on designing and validating electrical systems for sensor and display hardware. The engineer takes boards from early bring-up through to finished devices, leading layout work and debugging with lab test equipment. The work combines circuit design, firmware coordination and clear technical documentation within a cross-functional team.

What you'll do

• Design, build and test electrical systems for sensor and display hardware.
• Work with high-speed serial interfaces for fast data transfer.
• Lead circuit board design and layout, with attention to signal integrity and power efficiency.
• Partner with firmware engineers on low-level code that controls sensors and displays.
• Debug embedded systems on the bench using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers and other test gear.
• Write engineering specifications, verification procedures and results summaries.
• Communicate technical information clearly across a cross-functional team.

What we're looking for

• Completed university study at bachelor's or graduate level in electronics, electrical engineering or an adjacent technical field.
• Experience taking hardware from first board bring-up through to a finished device ready for use.
• Practical background drawing circuit schematics, arranging boards physically, routing fast signals and planning power networks in standard design software.
• Experience integrating display or camera sensor hardware and designing their interfaces.
• Experience with high-speed signaling protocols such as MIPI or LVDS.
• Practical track record troubleshooting embedded hardware at the bench with measurement instruments, including scopes, to verify signal quality.
• Background coordinating technical communication among internal groups and outside vendors.

Bonus points

• Experience with camera, AR/VR, robotics, aerospace or defense hardware, night vision, or early-stage hardware companies.

Compensation and benefits

• Base salary: $120K - $180K
• Equity

Location and work model
