You will define sensing requirements, develop measurement-chain improvements, and help mature new sensing capabilities.

What they're looking for

  • MS in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field with 4+ years of relevant industry experience, or PhD with 1+ year of relevant industry experience
  • Track record of owning ambiguous sensing, signal-quality, or measurement-performance problems from framing through validation
  • Scientific computing: comfortable writing analysis pipelines in Python, MATLAB, or equivalent to investigate and report system performance
  • Experience collecting high-quality electrical measurements: have built and run custom measurement setups using standard lab instrumentation (scope/DAQ and related tools)
  • Strong technical judgment, communication, and cross-functional collaboration
  • Experience leading technically complex work with multiple stakeholders and deadlines
