About The Position
Axon 911 brings together Prepared and Carbyne under Axon to create a platform that combines modern 911 infrastructure with an AI intelligence layer. This role is for a founding Senior Electrical Engineer specializing in schematic and circuit board design to own the electrical design, development, and validation of complex, highly integrated hardware for mission-critical connected devices. As a founding member of the hardware team, this individual will have significant ownership across the full hardware lifecycle, from system architecture and component selection through schematic capture, PCB layout, bring-up, validation, certification, and mass production. The role involves designing high-density, mixed-signal electronics integrating application processors, memory, power management, battery systems, wireless radios, and high-speed interfaces, and collaborating with RF, Mechanical, Firmware, and Manufacturing teams to solve complex challenges.
Requirements
- 7+ years of electrical and circuit board design experience
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline
- Deep hands-on experience taking complex electronics from architecture -> schematic capture -> PCB layout -> bring-up -> validation -> production
- Strong experience designing high-density, mixed-signal PCBs incorporating application processors or MCUs, high-speed memory, power delivery, battery/charging circuitry, and wired or wireless interfaces
- Advanced knowledge of schematic design, PCB stack-up, grounding, component placement, high-speed routing, signal integrity, power integrity, and EMI/EMC
- Experience designing high-speed interfaces such as DDR, PCIe, USB, Ethernet, MIPI, or similar technologies
- Strong understanding of power architecture, including DC/DC converters, LDOs, battery-powered systems, charging circuitry, power sequencing, and low-power design
- Hands-on experience with Cadence OrCAD and Allegro or comparable professional schematic and PCB design tools
- Experience designing rigid, flex, or rigid-flex PCBs within demanding mechanical, thermal, and form-factor constraints
- Strong board bring-up and debugging experience using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, power supplies, and related test equipment
- Proven experience taking hardware through EVT, DVT, PVT, certification, manufacturing ramp, and mass production
- Experience designing electronics to meet U.S. and international hardware, wireless, EMC, and safety requirements
- Experience partnering with CMs, ODMs, JDMs, PCB fabricators, and geographically distributed engineering teams
Nice To Haves
- Flexibility to travel domestically up to 50% of the time, as needed, to support the team.
Responsibilities
- Own detailed mixed-signal schematic design across application processors, microcontrollers, memory, power management, battery charging, RF modules, sensors, and high-speed digital interfaces.
- Drive complex, high-density PCB designs from architecture through layout and release, including layer stack-up, component placement, routing strategy, grounding, and design reviews.
- Design for robust signal and power integrity across high-speed digital interfaces, sensitive analog circuitry, power rails, and mixed-signal systems.
- Lead component selection, power-tree design, battery/charging architecture, design calculations, derating, and electrical tradeoff analysis.
- Partner closely with Mechanical and Industrial Design to optimize board shape, component placement, connectors, antennas, thermal performance, and overall form factor.
- Lead board bring-up, characterization, validation, and root-cause analysis using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, power supplies, and related laboratory equipment.
- Own BOMs, design documentation, design reviews, verification, manufacturing test requirements, and electrical readiness through EVT/DVT/PVT, certification, and mass production.
- Provide technical direction and design review support to electrical engineers and external design partners, establishing scalable electrical engineering standards and best practices.
Benefits
- Competitive salary and 401k with employer match
- Discretionary paid time off
- Paid parental leave for all
- Medical, dental, and vision plans
- Fitness Programs
- Emotional & Mental Wellness support
- Learning & Development programs
- Snacks in our offices
- Relocation support is available for qualified candidates who are currently based in the U.S., authorized to work for a U.S. employer, and open to relocating closer to one of our regional hubs.
- Fully Remote Eligibility will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to accommodate specific needs.
