Principal Electrical Engineer Design Lead

You will lead the scanner's electrical architecture and all board-level design. You will take complex boards from architecture through layout, vendor management, bring-up, and revision control. You will develop embedded firmware, review FPGA code, define cross-functional electrical interfaces, establish regulated-device engineering practices, and mentor the electrical function.

Responsibilities

• Lead the scanner electrical architecture and board-level technical direction
• Own complex board design from architecture through fabrication, assembly, bring-up, and revision control
• Develop embedded firmware for MCU and SoC targets
• Audit and update FPGA code for data acquisition, synchronization, triggering, and preprocessing
• Define electrical interfaces, timing budgets, and failure modes with software, reconstruction, ML, and mechanical partners
• Establish design reviews, test procedures, fixtures, and regulated-device documentation
• Mentor the electrical function and manage external design partners

Requirements

• Complex board design across high-speed digital and analog or mixed-signal domains
• Schematic and layout skills with Altium, KiCad, or equivalent
• Signal integrity, power integrity, grounding, and EMI or EMC knowledge
• Embedded firmware development in C, C++, and Python
• HDL experience with VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog
• Hardware bring-up and debugging with scopes and logic analyzers
• Technical leadership and written documentation
