About The Position

The Enterprise Research and Development (ERD) organization is seeking an early-career Electrical Engineer to support rapid prototyping, technology exploration, and proof-of-concept system development. This role is hands-on and project-driven, focused on evaluating emerging technologies and translating ideas into functional hardware. The ideal candidate is intellectually curious, adaptable, and motivated to learn across multiple electrical engineering domains.

Requirements

• B.S. Electrical Engineering or closely related field
• 0-3 years’ experience
• Foundational understanding across multiple EE domains: analog, digital, and basic RF or embedded systems
• Experience designing, building, and debugging circuits (breadboard, prototyping, or PCB-based)
• Familiarity with schematic capture and PCB layout tools (e.g., Cadence OrCAD/Allegro or similar)
• Ability to read and interpret component datasheets and apply them in practical designs
• Exposure to lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, power supplies, signal generators)
• Basic programming/scripting capability (e.g., MATLAB, Python, or similar) for test and data analysis
• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to work through ambiguity and incomplete requirements
• Effective written and verbal communication skills

Nice To Haves

• Master's degree is a plus, but not required
• Strong preference for candidates with hands-on academic or personal projects (e.g., senior design, internships, hobby builds, research labs) demonstrating end-to-end system development

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and iterate electronic circuits and subsystems (analog, digital, RF, and power) for proof-of-concept and prototype platforms
• Perform schematic capture and PCB layout for rapid-turn prototypes and evaluation boards
• Conduct hands-on bring-up, debugging, and validation of hardware designs
• Plan and execute experiments to evaluate new technologies and architectures
• Analyze test data and communicate findings through concise technical reports and presentations
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (mechanical, software, systems) to integrate prototype solutions
• Support multiple concurrent small-scale projects with shifting priorities and timelines
• Contribute to transitioning successful concepts into more mature development efforts

Benefits

• medical coverages
• 401k
• paid time off
• excellent work schedules including a 9/80 work week
