As an Electrical Design Engineer, you will own the electrical hardware for our chip fabrication machines end-to-end. You will identify problems, prototype solutions, productionize your prototypes, and deliver finished solutions that revolutionize IC manufacturing. You might work on high-voltage low-noise boost converters, motor drivers, attofarad sensors, and millikelvin temperature controllers all on a single project.
Own the clean-sheet design of PCBAs and electrical systems for our machines, driving the end-to-end process including schematic capture, layout, bringup, testing, integration, and documentation.
Collaborate cross-functionally with software, mechanical, and process teams to gather system requirements, performing independent investigations to define targets where requirements are ambiguous or missing.
Investigate optimal design approaches and perform detailed analysis and simulations to evaluate electrical designs, strategically weighing off-the-shelf components against custom solutions.
Break down complex hardware challenges into actionable execution plans, earning trust through consistent follow-through from prototype to small-scale production.
Required Experience
Demonstrated experience owning electrical hardware design end-to-end, successfully taking systems from initial concept through to production.
Demonstrated proficiency in analog and digital circuit design, mixed-signal design, and hands-on testing (e.g., using multimeters and oscilloscopes).
Experience with PCB design and simulation tools (Altium, KiCad, LTSpice).
A track record of taking broad ownership of electrical systems, with the ability to execute work autonomously and adapt quickly in a hands-on, fast-paced maker environment.
High-speed digital design or low-noise analog frontend design experience.
Experience working with RF plasmas, pulsed lasers, or semiconductor processing equipment.
