You will investigate measurement performance, analyze signals and telemetry, evaluate sensors, run experiments and validations, and help mature new sensing capabilities. This position focuses on measurement performance, validation, and technology transfer rather than product design and implementation.\n\nResponsibilities\n\nContribute to the development of measurement performance requirements. Evaluate new sensors for current and new sensing capabilities.\n\nDesign and execute benchtop and full‑scale experiments to characterize sensor and system performance.\n\nSupport investigations from fleet observations through exploratory data analysis of fleet telemetry, bench reproduction, simulation, and test execution. Investigate signal behavior and communicate findings.\n\nContribute to research of new sensing capabilities.\n\nHelp develop validation methods and implementation‑ready technical recommendations.\n\nCollaborate closely with product managers, data scientists, and SW/HW/FW engineers.\n\nRequired Skills\n\nMS in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a closely related field and 2+ years of relevant industry experience.\n\nStrong fundamentals in electromagnetics, signal processing, or circuits.\n\nHands‑on experience contributing to physical experiments, measurement setups, hardware validation, or bench investigations.\n\nScientific computing: comfortable writing analysis pipelines in Python, MATLAB, or equivalent.\n\nExperience collecting high‑quality electrical measurements: have built and run custom measurement setups using standard lab instrumentation (scope/DAQ and related tools).\n\nClear technical communication and documentation skills.\n\nComfortable working on ambiguous technical problems and learning new domains quickly.\n\nRelevant Depth Areas\nYou do not need to match every area below. Strong candidates will usually bring depth in one or two of these areas.\n\nSensor characterization and validation: sensor performance evaluation from characterization, through test method development. Experience developing performance requirements and testing or validating sensing systems against those requirements.\n\nDSP in embedded systems: have applied DSP to real sensor signals in embedded systems. Competent in C/C++ (or similar low‑level languages), timing, sampling, and sensor communication interfaces.\n\nCircuit simulation: have used SPICE‑class simulation (LTspice/PSpice/ngspice/Spectre or similar) to model HW and perform investigations.\n\nRoot‑cause sensor signal issues: have investigated and solved signal/noise issues, e.g. identifying issues through exploratory data analysis, reproducing issues in simulation and on the bench, and implementing solutions.\n\nPhysical sensing research: have researched new physical sensing capabilities using first‑principles modeling, experiments, and sensor trade studies to evaluate feasibility and performance.\n\nBonus Skills\n\nDesign and automate validation: have designed system validation plans with explicit acceptance criteria. Have built or owned repeatable test infrastructure.\n\nExperience with deployed IoT fleets (tens of thousands of devices) and developing “observability for sensor performance” (e.g., telemetry design, health metrics, calibration drift monitoring).\n\nExperience optimizing sampling and signal processing on constrained compute devices to reduce power and storage.\n\n$130,000 - $165,000 a year\n\nThis describes the ideal candidate; many of us have picked up this expertise along the way.
