Electrical or Embedded Controls Engineer (Early Career, Exceptional Talent)
About The Position
This job is demanding and rewarding. This job isn't for everyone. You're the right person if you've done something extraordinary early – designed custom electronics, built embedded systems, programmed microcontrollers, led Formula SAE, Robotics, Rocketry, or another hardware-focused competition team, or owned electrical or controls work during an internship. You enjoy moving between hardware and software and understanding how the entire system works. You'd rather debug hardware in the lab than sit in a conference room. You want ownership, not hand-holding. Hard problems energize you. You like seeing something you designed come to life. Engineers who want to spend their first year doing work that actually matters should apply.
Requirements
- A degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Embedded Systems, or a closely related field.
- Internship, research, or project experience designing, integrating, or testing electrical, embedded, or control systems.
- Experience with embedded programming, instrumentation, microcontrollers, electrical design, PCB development, sensors, or hardware integration.
- Comfortable working in the lab with oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, and real hardware – not just simulations.
- A track record of taking ownership, finishing difficult projects, and solving problems without waiting for someone else to hand you the answer.
- Must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
- Must be eligible to access export-controlled information and technology as required by applicable U.S. export control laws.
