Senior Electrical Engineer, Schematic and Circuit Board Design (Remote Eligible | Relocation Assistance Available)

Role overview

This is a senior electrical engineering role focused on schematic capture and PCB design for mission-critical connected devices used in emergency response and public safety settings. The position spans the full hardware lifecycle, from system architecture through mass production, and carries significant ownership as a founding member of a new hardware team. The engineer will design high-density, mixed-signal electronics integrating application processors, memory, power management, battery systems, wireless radios, and high-speed interfaces into compact, battery-powered hardware.

Responsibilities

- Own detailed mixed-signal schematic design across application processors, microcontrollers, memory, power management, battery charging, audio modules, sensors, and high-speed digital interfaces - Drive complex, high-density PCB layouts from architecture through release, including layer stack-up, component placement, routing strategy, grounding, and design reviews - Design for robust signal and power integrity across high-speed digital interfaces, sensitive analog circuitry, power rails, and mixed-signal domains - Lead component selection, power-tree design, battery and charging architecture, derating analysis, and electrical trade-off evaluation - Partner with mechanical and industrial design teams to optimize board shape, component placement, connectors, antennas, thermal performance, and overall form factor - Lead board bring-up, characterization, validation, and root-cause analysis using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, power supplies, and related lab equipment - Own BOMs, design documentation, design reviews, verification, manufacturing test requirements, and electrical readiness through SP/EVT/DVT/PVT, certification, and mass production - Provide technical direction and design review support, establishing scalable electrical engineering standards and best practices

Requirements

- 7+ years of electrical and circuit board design experience and a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline - Deep hands-on experience taking complex electronics from architecture through schematic capture, PCB layout, bring-up, validation, and production - Strong experience designing high-density, mixed-signal PCBs incorporating application processors or MCUs, high-speed memory, power delivery, battery and charging circuitry, and wired or wireless interfaces in compact, battery-powered hardware - Advanced knowledge of schematic design, PCB stack-up, grounding, component placement, high-speed routing, signal integrity, power integrity, and EMI/EMC - Demonstrated expertise designing high-speed interfaces such as DDR, PCIe, USB, Ethernet, MIPI, or similar technologies - Strong understanding of power architecture including DC/DC converters, LDOs, battery-powered systems, charging circuitry, power sequencing, and low-power design - Hands-on experience with Cadence OrCAD and Allegro or comparable professional schematic and PCB design tools - Experience designing rigid, flex, or rigid-flex PCBs within demanding mechanical, thermal, and form-factor constraints
