We operate in a fast moving, execution focused environment where team members own their work end to end and are trusted to manage themselves with a high level of accountability. Our team values initiative, clear communication, and a strong sense of responsibility, qualities that let us move quickly and ship production‑ready hardware.
If you thrive in a setting where you can take full ownership, solve complex challenges, and build products used in real world scenarios, we may be the right fit for you!
About The Role We are seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer with deep experience in embedded systems and product development to join our fast paced, high accountability team. This role goes beyond circuit board design – you will drive the architecture, integration, and validation of complex electronics in high performance compute modules, communications systems, and robotics products. This role is critical to the design, development, and productization of compute modules, RF systems, camera systems, and BLDC motor controllers.
You must be a Type‑A personality who thrives in fast‑paced environments, is self‑managed, documents rigorously, and drives designs through manufacturing. This is not just a circuit designer role; you will help lead the entire electrical product lifecycle, including reviews, simulations, integration, and support through production.
Key Responsibilities
Lead the electrical design of complex multi‑layer HDI PCBs, compute modules, and custom edge AI platforms
Perform detailed power delivery network (PDN) analysis, transient analysis, and high‑speed signal integrity simulation
Drive and manage design reviews (initial, intermediate, and final), documenting all design decisions and review outcomes in Confluence
Own the full product development lifecycle from schematic capture to production release
Select, validate, and integrate ICs, power systems, sensors, radios, and other components
Collaborate closely with mechanical engineers to ensure seamless integration into enclosures, thermals, shielding, and interconnects
Develop validation plans, bring‑up guides, and work with firmware/software teams during prototype and EVT/DVT phases
Work within KiCad as the primary ECAD tool; Altium experience is helpful but not required
Maintain clean revision control, documentation, and BOMs across development and production
Author thorough documentation in Confluence: schematics, reviews, test plans, bring‑up notes, etc
Interface directly with suppliers and fabrication/assembly partners on production readiness
Drive validation and bring‑up of new hardware platforms, working closely with firmware and test teams
Proactively manage project scope, priorities, and deliverables with minimal oversight
Serve as the primary electrical point of contact for external manufacturers and suppliers, supporting hardware bring‑up, first‑article builds, and sustaining engineering tasks
Develop per‑unit electrical test plans and oversee the design and validation of custom test fixtures for production environments, ensuring repeatable and scalable test coverage
Support customers through hands‑on electrical integration of our modules into their systems, including design reviews, bring‑up assistance, and technical validation to ensure successful adoption of development kits into production designs
Travel: Willingness to travel periodically throughout the year to support key product milestones and collaboration efforts; visiting manufacturing partners for first‑article builds, production testing, and process improvements; traveling to design partners for technical alignment or strategy meetings; and attending select trade shows or industry events to support product demonstrations or team visibility
Requirements Required Qualifications
B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering or equivalent technical discipline
6+ years experience in electrical product development, including shipping real products
Expert in KiCad (mandatory), with working knowledge of Altium or similar tools
Demonstrated experience with HDI board design, controlled impedance, microvias, blind/buried vias
Experience with PoP (package on package), DDR memory routing, and high‑speed interfaces (PCIe, USB 3, etc.)
Strong skills in PDN, SI, and EMI analysis
Experience integrating PCBs into mechanical systems (e.g. stackups, grounding/shielding, mounting, thermal)
Fluent in Confluence, Git, and structured engineering documentation practices
Proven track record of managing full product lifecycles from concept to production
Strong DFM/DFT understanding and supplier/CM collaboration
Proficiency in power systems design, regulators, battery management, and protection circuits
Proficiency with soldering irons, hot air rework, multimeters, power supplies, and other common lab equipment
Comfortable with fine‑pitch rework, jumper wiring, and component replacement on dense PCB layouts
Ability to interpret schematics and translate debug results into actionable hardware changes
Familiarity with firmware bring‑up tools, test instruments (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers), and embedded Linux platforms
Hands‑on experience collaborating with contract manufacturers or EMS partners through the entire product lifecycle, from prototyping to production ramp
Strong understanding of production test strategy, including fixture design, validation, and documentation for factory deployment
Proven experience working directly with customers or OEMs to support hardware or module integration, including reviewing schematics, layout, and test plans as part of the pre‑sales and design‑in process
Familiarity with product regulatory and compliance factors (FCC/CE/UL desirable)
High ownership mentality – must be self‑managed, organized, and quality obsessed
Preferred / Bonus Qualifications
Experience working in a startup or fast‑paced product company environment
Prior experience in RF system design, antenna tuning, or wireless regulatory compliance testing (FCC/ISED/CE)
Familiarity with wireless communication modules including Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, or 5G
Experience designing with high‑power or high‑current motor controllers (BLDC, ESCs)
Hands‑on experience with EMC/ESD mitigation techniques and compliance testing
Proficiency in Python or Bash for test automation or bring‑up scripting
Experience in troubleshooting embedded Linux systems and navigating Linux terminals
Benefits Why Join Us
High‑Impact Work: Be a core contributor to the development of real products that ship to customers in the robotics and UAS sectors
Fast‑Paced Environment: Work at startup speed in a self‑managed, execution‑driven culture with a high degree of ownership and trust
Technical Excellence: Collaborate with experts across electrical, mechanical, and software domains building next‑generation compute and comms modules
Flexibility: This role supports hybrid, remote, or onsite in San Antonio depending on your preference
Real‑World Exposure: Travel opportunities to manufacturers, design partners, and industry events, see your work in action from bench to mass manufactured product
Customer‑Centric Engineering: Work directly with customers and OEMs to drive real‑world adoption and integration of your designs
Work Environment This role is flexible and can be hybrid, onsite in San Antonio, or remote, depending on the candidate's profile. Our team operates at startup speed and you will be expected to contribute meaningfully to hardware that ships to customers on aggressive timelines.
