Our patented sigma-delta modulation architecture delivers signal-to-noise ratios that conventional solutions simply cannot match — and the market is taking notice. We have strategic partnerships with industry leaders and a technology platform that is expanding into new application domains from consumer electronics to industrial and automotive systems.\nWe’re a small team of engineers who move fast, own our work end-to-end, and care deeply about technical excellence. If you want your fingerprints on a platform that is redefining what touch sensing can do, this is the role.\nThe Opportunity\nWe are looking for a Systems Engineer who can own the full hardware-to-firmware stack for high-performance mixed-signal embedded systems. You will take products from architecture through production — defining requirements, designing PCB circuits, developing embedded firmware, and leading validation. The ideal candidate has deep analog/digital PCB experience, strong embedded firmware skills, and a genuine interest in mixed-signal IC design and digital signal processing.\nThis role is open at Senior, Staff, or Principal level. Scope, title, and compensation scale with experience — we are genuinely interested in the most experienced candidates.\nWhat Success Looks Like\nArchitect and deliver a production-ready embedded system within schedule.\nProduce clear, testable, and traceable system requirements that the broader team can build against.\nLead successful hardware bring-up and firmware integration with minimal surprises.\nResolve complex mixed-signal performance issues efficiently and root-cause them permanently.\nImprove product reliability, performance, and manufacturability across each revision.\nKey Responsibilities\nSystem Requirements Development\nDefine system requirements for PCB and mixed-signal IC products; develop and maintain Product Requirements Documents (PRD).\nLead system-level trade studies covering performance, cost, power, thermal, and EMI/EMC.\nInterface directly with product management and customers to capture and refine technical requirements.\nBoard-Level Circuit Design\nDesign and develop PCB products incorporating precision analog front-ends, high-speed digital interfaces, power management circuits, ADC/DAC signal chains, and MCU subsystems.\nPerform schematic capture; oversee and review PCB layout.\nConduct signal integrity, power integrity, and grounding analysis.\nSupport prototype bring-up, validation, and debugging; drive design reviews and DFx (DFM, DFT) practices.\nFirmware Development\nOwn the embedded firmware effort for microcontrollers and SoCs in PCB product applications.\nImplement and modify firmware in C/C++; integrate communication stacks (I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, Ethernet, USB).\nImplement real-time control algorithms and configure embedded SoC firmware as needed.\nMixed-Signal & DSP (Strongly Valued)\nAnalyze and debug mixed-signal circuits at the system level.\nApply knowledge of digital filtering (FIR/IIR), FFT-based analysis, and spectral processing — directly relevant to our core sigma-delta sensing architecture.\nModel and simulate analog and digital systems using MATLAB, Python, or similar tools.\nValidation & Compliance\nDevelop system validation procedures; perform lab characterization using oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and network analyzers.\nSupport EMC and regulatory compliance testing.\nRoot-cause system-level failures and drive corrective actions to closure.\nRequired Qualifications\nBachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.\n7+ years of hands-on experience in hardware and/or firmware development.\nProven experience with mixed-signal PCB development, embedded firmware (C/C++), and structured technical requirements writing.\nDirect customer-facing experience to define application requirements.\nStrong fundamentals in analog and digital circuit design and microcontroller architectures.\nProficiency with lab debugging tools: oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers.\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience with digital signal processing (DSP) theory or implementation, ideally with sigma-delta or oversampling architectures.\nMATLAB, Python, or similar for modeling, simulation, or data analysis.\nFamiliarity with requirements management tools (e.g., DOORS, Jama) and configuration management.\nKnowledge of or experience with production test for PCB or IC products.\nWhat We’re Looking For\nSystems thinker who connects analog hardware, digital firmware, and application requirements into a coherent product.\nStrong communicator across hardware, firmware, and product teams — equally at home at a whiteboard or in a lab.\nSelf-directed and ownership-oriented: you drive projects from concept to production without waiting to be managed.\nExcellent troubleshooter who root-causes rather than patches problems.\nComfortable translating ambiguous customer needs into precise, testable engineering requirements.\nCompensation & Benefits\nWe offer competitive base salary commensurate with experience and level, meaningful equity participation in a company with proven commercial traction, and a comprehensive benefits package.
