About The Position

EMCORE is seeking a highly skilled Senior Electrical Engineer to lead electrical design efforts from concept through production. This role requires a deep understanding of customer requirements and the ability to translate them into robust electrical solutions. The ideal candidate will bring leadership and technical expertise in mixed-signal circuit design, development, and worst-case analysis across analog and digital domains. This 100% in-office role is based at the Quartz MEMS (QMEMS) facility in Concord, CA. Occasional travel (<10%) to customers, suppliers, or other EMCORE facilities may be required.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering required.
Minimum of six (6) years of experience in electrical engineering, including: Design, analysis, and troubleshooting of complex circuits, schematics, and embedded systems.
Proficiency in analog/digital design tools such as Altium or equivalent.
Strong understanding of signal integrity, power distribution, EMI/EMC, and thermal management, including design to MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461, or DO-160.
Extensive experience in programming, testing, and debugging electronic components and assemblies.
Expertise in low-noise analog circuit design.
Capable of rigid-flex PCB design and able to conduct PCB functional testing.
Hands-on experience with testing development hardware using lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and power supplies.
Demonstrate critical thinking skills with the ability to work methodically and analytically in a quantitative problem-solving environment.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to both give and receive constructive feedback in a highly collaborative environment.
Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship (U.S. citizenship or Permanent Resident).
