Electrical Engineer - Mixed Signal
About The Position
Bright Silicon Technologies commercializes its Lightfield Directing Array (LDA), a semiconductor-scale micromirror platform for dynamically routing optical connections in AI, high-performance computing, and communications systems. Conventional electronic and optical networks are constrained by power consumption, switching speed, and scalability. Bright Silicon’s MEMS-based platform provides scalable, low-latency, high-mobility backbone networks for physical AI, autonomous systems, and robotics, realizes neutral atom quantum computing and networking deployment, and enables massive GPU/TPU cluster size expansion. We are looking for an EE to own the development of the core analog, mixed-signal, and control electronics for BST’s LDA technology. This is an exciting opportunity to join our team in our Pleasanton, CA office to deploy the next generation of optical MEMS technology.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or a related field or related experience
- 5+ years of relevant work experience
- Experience in full-stack PCB design; detailed specification, design, hardware bringup, and integration
- Experience with ECAD tools: Altium, Allegro/OrCAD, Eagle, KiCad, or others
- Experience with electronic test equipment and troubleshooting hardware issues
- Experience with circuit simulation tools for analog, digital, or RF designs
- Excellent communication skills and experience working with a cross-functional, distributed team
- Self-starter mentality with a proactive approach to uncovering risks and managing dependencies
- System-oriented, with the ability and desire to dive deep into the smallest detail
- U.S. Person status (U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, or protected individual), as the role involves CUI and ITAR material
