Senior Electrical Engineer
About The Position
LeoLabs is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to join their Hardware Engineering team in Menlo Park. This role involves leading the design and development of complex electronics for LeoLabs’ radar platforms. The engineer will be responsible for board-level hardware from architecture and schematic capture through PCB implementation, bring-up, validation, and production support. The position requires close collaboration with RF, mechanical, embedded, test, and manufacturing engineers to deliver robust, high-performance hardware. This is a hands-on role for an experienced engineer who thrives in a fast-paced hardware environment and enjoys solving challenging cross-disciplinary problems. The position is full-time onsite at their Menlo Park, CA headquarters, with occasional international travel possible.
Requirements
- Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. personnel security clearance
- BSEE or equivalent technical degree
- 7+ years of experience designing complex board-level electronics
- Strong Altium experience in schematic capture and PCB design
- Experience taking hardware from concept through bring-up, debug, and manufacturing
- Strong mixed-signal PCB design fundamentals, including power, grounding, and EMI/EMC-aware layout
- Hands-on experience with board bring-up and electrical troubleshooting
- Experience working cross-functionally with mechanical, embedded, test, and manufacturing teams
Nice To Haves
- MSEE or equivalent advanced degree
- Experience designing electronics for radar, aerospace, communications, defense, robotics, or other demanding hardware applications
- Experience with high-speed PCB design, including controlled impedance and differential pair routing
- Familiarity with power, embedded, FPGA, or mixed-signal subsystems
- Experience supporting prototype builds and transition to production
- Experience working with manufacturers on DFM and production readiness
Responsibilities
- Lead the design and development of complex PCBAs and electrical subsystems for next-generation radar hardware
- Drive hardware from concept development, requirements definition, architecture, component selection, schematic capture, layout direction, bring-up, verification, and release to manufacturing
- Own board-level implementation for mixed-signal, power, control, timing, and other performance-critical designs
- Develop high-quality PCB layouts with strong attention to stack-up, grounding, return paths, high-current routing, controlled impedance, signal integrity, manufacturability, and reliability
- Work closely with RF, mechanical, embedded software, test, and manufacturing engineers to ensure successful system integration
- Support prototype bring-up, bench validation, debugging, root-cause analysis, and design iteration in the lab
- Collaborate with fabrication and assembly partners to resolve technical issues, improve DFM/DFT, and support transition from prototype to production
- Contribute to electrical architecture decisions, design reviews, and technical trade studies across multiple programs
- Help raise the team’s hardware design rigor through strong engineering judgment, documentation, and cross-functional execution
Benefits
- Competitive salary and equity packages
- Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage
- Unlimited paid time off for most roles
- Flexible remote/hybrid opportunities
