Senior Electrical Engineer (PCBA Products)

Neuron Industries • Gardena, CA

2d

About The Position

You’ll own the electrical architecture and product electronics inside Cortex: embedded compute, industrial I/O, and power. Your designs will go from requirements and first schematic through bring-up, validation, and production. This is a hands-on role for an electrical generalist who can make system-level decisions and execute the details. You’ll work directly with the founders and firmware and software engineers, establish practical hardware engineering standards, and help shape future electrical engineering hires.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a closely related engineering discipline.
• You’ve personally taken new electronics from concept through production and can explain the architecture, your contribution, what you tested, and what changed.
• You’ve made system-level decisions across digital processing, analog interfaces, communications, and power.
• Strong signal integrity, power integrity, and mixed-signal design fundamentals.
• You own board debugging with oscilloscopes, electronic loads, and rework tools, and can support firmware bring-up.
• Proficiency in Altium Designer.
• You’ve traced manufacturing or field failures to their root causes and improved subsequent designs.
• You can prioritize with incomplete requirements and explain technical tradeoffs to a small team.

Nice To Haves

• Industrial automation or robotics products with demanding reliability requirements.
• SoC or FPGA boards, high-speed interfaces, or high-channel-count industrial I/O.
• EMC testing, manufacturing test development, or contract manufacturer management.

Responsibilities

• Architect boards and interfaces across embedded compute, mixed-signal I/O, communications, and power.
• Design schematics, select components, and develop or direct PCB layouts in Altium Designer.
• Bring up hardware, debug across electrical and firmware boundaries, and turn measurements into design improvements.
• Validate designs against EMC, thermal, vibration, brownouts, surges, and miswiring.
• Own manufacturing handoff, DFM reviews, test strategy, first-article issues, and production improvements.
• Establish useful design reviews, release documentation, and engineering practices that help a small team ship reliable hardware quickly.
