Responsibilities:

• Lead new sensor integration projects, including FPGA control of 2D CMOS and CCD imaging sensors
• Have the courage to spot problems and overhaul legacy designs as needed.
• Be the assigned lead engineer on development and sustainment projects, responsible for bringing customer inspired technical solutions to fruition.
• Use your wit, creativity and knowledge to drive projects to completion and have fun doing it.
• Interface with multi-disciplinary teams and communicate well with technical experts in optics, mechanical design, software development and volume manufacturing.
• Document the journey effectively, and preferably with flair.

Requirements:

Required Experience

• FPGA development using (Xilinx preferred) using VHDL or Verilog
• LVDS signaling (SERDES preferred)
• Comfortable creating well partitioned hierarchical designs using multiple asynchronous clock domains
• Writes and executes detailed and representative test benches
• Good knowledge and experience of techniques for meeting timing closure with tight constraints
• Internal (board-level) communication protocols (SPI, I2C etc)
• Experience using engineering processes & procedures. If you show us how to improve them, even better!
• Full lifecycle design (concept, feasibility, design, test, transfer to manufacture: DFM)

Optional / Preferred Experience

Additional experience in any of the following would be a plus, or simply interest in learning more about these topics and growing your skillset as an engineer.

• Microcontroller firmware using C
• PCB design with schematic capture and board layout (multi-layer SMT, Altium preferred)
• PCB drawing creation (layer stackups, dimensioning, BOM scrubbing)
• Signal integrity analysis and simulation (SPICE), analog and digital differential
• Power management (DC-DC converters, battery chargers, gas gauges)
• Board bring up, bench testing and troubleshooting. We hope you’ve used some pretty cool lab instruments, scopes and the like and we’d like to hear about them
• PID control-loops for thermoelectric coolers (TEC) and light source control
• External communication protocols (USB, BLE, ethernet etc)
• Some programming experience is a plus (any of Python, C#, MATLAB, R, LabVIEW etc)

Education / Skills

• Natural curiosity and a strong desire to pursue a career that effects positive change in the world.
• BS/MS or higher in Electrical Engineering or relevant fields.
• Strong communication skills and positive attitude to work with engineering, manufacturing, and business teams towards success of products.
• Strong organizational skills and capability of performing necessary written documentation.
• Self-motivated to work on multiple development projects simultaneously.
