About the role
We are looking for a hands-on, lab-centric person to own system-level bringup and debug of our electro-optical hardware – a complex system of mixed-signal ASICs, photonic modules, DSP chips, and power management ICs. Your core strength: methodically isolating problems and localizing them to a specific component or subsystem. Potential to grow into a module lead role.
What you'll do
- Lead PCB and system-level bringup, first power-on through functional validation
- Isolate failures in a complex system of mixed-signal ASICs, photonics, DSP chips, and power management ICs, localizing each issue to a specific component or subsystem
- Debug hardware/firmware interactions and analog circuit behavior using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and spectrum analyzers
- Perform signal integrity and power integrity measurements; localize sources of noise and cross-talk
- Drive failure analysis on prototype and production units; turn findings into corrective actions
- Validate chip-to-board communication (I2C, SPI, UART, GPIO)
- Build test plans with clear pass/fail criteria and Python automation for lab and production testing
- Support offshore manufacturing partners on assembly validation, calibration, and production test
Required Qualifications
- BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering from a top research university
- ~5 years of hands-on lab experience in PCB bringup, system validation, signal/power integrity, or failure analysis
- Solid analog circuit knowledge – bias networks, LDOs, PLLs, ADCs/DACs, mixed-signal interfaces – and the instincts to debug them at the bench
- Opto-electronic debug experience: optical power meters, photodetectors, spectrum analyzers
- Python for test automation and data analysis
- Fluent reading schematics, layout files, and datasheets
Preferred Qualifications
- Board-level work with SiP or ASIC platforms
- Experience with embedded microcontrollers, SoCs, and FPGAs
- Reliability testing (thermal cycling, HALT, HASS); taking products into mass production
Benefits (subject to location and local regulations)
- Competitive salary and equity
- Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
- 401(k) retirement plan
- Flexible vacation and time-off policy
- Collaborative, fast-paced, and inclusive work environment
Opportunity to work on cutting-edge technologies with a highly cross-functional team
