Autonomy for the world. Backed by a16z.
About the role
You will be the technical authority for a portfolio of electrical test capabilities rather than a single stand or project. You will establish common architectures, engineering standards, safety practices, and lifecycle expectations; align capability roadmaps with program risk and verification needs; and lead the most ambiguous or consequential test-equipment efforts from concept through deployment.
What they're looking for
- B.S. in Electrical Engineering or a related STEM discipline, or equivalent practical experience
- 8+ years of relevant industry experience developing complex electrical hardware, automated test equipment, or multidisciplinary verification systems
- A record of leading multiple hardware development cycles and delivering equipment or products from ambiguous requirements through release, deployment, and sustained use
- Deep expertise in several relevant domains, such as power electronics, analog and digital design, RF and communications, instrumentation, data acquisition, control systems, signal integrity, grounding, or system safety
- Demonstrated ability to architect systems that span custom electronics, commercial instruments, harnessing, embedded control, automation software, mechanical equipment, and facility interfaces
- Strong command of requirements decomposition, interface control, verification planning, design reviews, configuration management, acceptance testing, and technical documentation
