Electrical Engineer (Embedded)

Beamlink•Los Angeles, CA

139d•Hybrid

About The Position

Half the world still doesn't have stable Internet – want to play a critical role in changing that? Beamlink builds entire cellular networks in a matter of weeks, not years. These are built of easy-to-set-up cells, called Bentocells, which address the historic bottleneck preventing carriers from expanding beyond cities. Our dynamic engineering team designs these in-house along with the firmware, software, and network architectures that make them run. We are looking for an Electrical Engineer (Embedded) with 2–5 years of experience to join our team full-time. You will contribute directly to the design and development of Beamlink’s next-generation cellular infrastructure products, working across hardware, firmware, and embedded systems. This role involves hands-on work with PCB design, board bring-up, embedded Linux systems, and deployment infrastructure for real-world networking equipment operating in demanding environments.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
2–5 years of experience in embedded systems or electronics engineering
Experience designing PCBs in Altium Designer, including schematic capture and layout
Strong understanding of digital electronics, power systems, and embedded hardware design principles
Experience with board bring-up and hardware debugging
Familiarity with embedded Linux environments and scripting using Python and Bash
Experience working with microcontrollers and embedded processors
Strong troubleshooting and analytical skills in both hardware and software domains
Ability to work hands-on in a fast-paced startup environment

Nice To Haves

Experience with Yocto-based embedded Linux systems
Familiarity with OTA (Over-the-Air) update systems such as hawkBit and RAUC
Experience with NXP i.MX processors such as the i.MX95 family
Familiarity with Ethernet infrastructure, including RJ45, PoE systems, and SFP fiber interface
Experience working with SDR or telecommunications hardware platforms
Familiarity with FCC Part 15, CE, or related electronics certification procedures
Experience working with RF systems or cellular networking equipment
Exposure to manufacturing validation and production testing workflows
Familiarity with Docker, Linux system administration, or remote fleet management tools

Responsibilities

Contribute directly to Altium schematic capture and PCB layout for digital, power, RF, and mixed-signal systems
Select components and design subsystems for embedded and telecommunications hardware platforms
Perform board bring-up, validation, debugging, and hardware troubleshooting using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and related lab equipment
Collaborate with subject matter experts across RF, embedded software, FPGA, and manufacturing disciplines to improve product reliability and manufacturability
Develop firmware and embedded software components in Python, Bash, and related languages for hardware management and deployment automation
Work with Linux-based embedded systems and on-device scripting for provisioning, monitoring, diagnostics, and automation
Recommend and implement improvements to existing hardware designs, power systems, and embedded infrastructure
Support manufacturing test, validation, and deployment efforts for Bentocell systems
Participate in design reviews and contribute to system architecture decisions across hardware and software domains
Work with AI-assisted engineering tools and software agents to improve development efficiency and supervised debugging workflows
