• Familiarity with product lifecycle management systems such as Arena
• Experience working in a multidisciplinary hardware-development environment
• Familiarity with RF hardware or RF system integration

What the job involves

• As an Electrical Engineer, you will help design and develop the electronics that power our next-generation radar systems
• You will contribute to board-level hardware development across mixed-signal, power, timing, and control electronics, supporting designs from initial requirements through prototype bring-up, validation, and production
• This is a hands-on role for an engineer who enjoys solving technical problems, working in the laboratory, and collaborating with experienced engineers to build reliable hardware that moves quickly from development into the field
• You will work closely with LeoLabs' RF, mechanical, embedded software, manufacturing, and systems engineers to develop and integrate advanced radar hardware
• Design and develop PCBAs and electrical subsystems for next-generation radar hardware
• Translate defined system and subsystem requirements into schematics and board-level designs
• Support PCB layout and perform design checks under the guidance of senior engineers
• Contribute to designs of mixed-signal, power, timing, and control electronics for demanding operating environments
• Perform hardware bring-up, laboratory testing, debugging, and electrical validation
• Analyze test results and assist with identifying and resolving hardware design issues
• Work closely with RF, mechanical, embedded software, manufacturing, and systems engineers to integrate complete hardware systems
• Participate in design reviews and incorporate technical feedback into assigned designs
• Support design reviews, prototype builds, manufacturing transition, and deployment activities
• Develop engineering tools, test software, and laboratory automation using Python where appropriate
• Create and maintain design documentation, test procedures, and test reports
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of electrical design and laboratory practices
• Within 1 month, you’ll:
• Complete onboarding and become familiar with LeoLabs' radar hardware, development process, and active programs
• Build an understanding of current electrical designs, development tools, and laboratory workflows
• Begin supporting ongoing hardware development and integration activities
• Within 3 months, you’ll:
• Contribute independently to a defined board-level design, test effort, or electrical subsystem
• Support prototype bring-up, validation, debugging, and design iteration
• Establish effective working relationships with cross-functional engineering teams
• Within 6 months, you’ll:
• Take ownership of defined portions of a board or electrical subsystem with guidance from senior engineers
• Execute assigned design, analysis, and validation activities with increasing independence
• Support hardware integration, manufacturing, and deployment activities
• Become a reliable technical contributor within the Hardware Engineering organization
• Within 12 months, you’ll:
• Deliver a board-level design or substantial design contribution through prototype validation or production release
• Independently execute well-defined electrical engineering tasks and appropriately escalate complex technical decisions
• Contribute lessons learned, documentation, and technical improvements to future radar hardware development
