Electrical Engineer (Embedded)

Job Title: Electrical Engineer (Embedded)Location: Los Angeles, CA (in-person)Job Type: Full Time (W-2)OverviewHalf the world still doesn't have stable Internet – want to play a critical role in changing that? Beamlink builds entire cellular networks in a matter of weeks, not years. These are built of easy-to-set-up cells, called Bentocells, which address the historic bottleneck preventing carriers from expanding beyond cities. Our dynamic engineering team designs these in-house along with the firmware, software, and network architectures that make them run.Role DescriptionWe are looking for an Electrical Engineer (Embedded) with 2–5 years of experience to join our team full-time. You will contribute directly to the design and development of Beamlink’s next-generation cellular infrastructure products, working across hardware, firmware, and embedded systems. This role involves hands-on work with PCB design, board bring-up, embedded Linux systems, and deployment infrastructure for real-world networking equipment operating in demanding environments.ResponsibilitiesContribute directly to Altium schematic capture and PCB layout for digital, power, RF, and mixed-signal systemsSelect components and design subsystems for embedded and telecommunications hardware platformsPerform board bring-up, validation, debugging, and hardware troubleshooting using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and related lab equipmentCollaborate with subject matter experts across RF, embedded software, FPGA, and manufacturing disciplines to improve product reliability and manufacturabilityDevelop firmware and embedded software components in Python, Bash, and related languages for hardware management and deployment automationWork with Linux-based embedded systems and on-device scripting for provisioning, monitoring, diagnostics, and automationRecommend and implement improvements to existing hardware designs, power systems, and embedded infrastructureSupport manufacturing test, validation, and deployment efforts for Bentocell systemsParticipate in design reviews and contribute to system architecture decisions across hardware and software domainsWork with AI-assisted engineering tools and software agents to improve development efficiency and supervised debugging workflowsRequired QualificationsBachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field2–5 years of experience in embedded systems or electronics engineeringExperience designing PCBs in Altium Designer, including schematic capture and layoutStrong understanding of digital electronics, power systems, and embedded hardware design principlesExperience with board bring-up and hardware debuggingFamiliarity with embedded Linux environments and scripting using Python and BashExperience working with microcontrollers and embedded processorsStrong troubleshooting and analytical skills in both hardware and software domainsAbility to work hands-on in a fast-paced startup environmentAdditional Preferred QualificationsExperience with Yocto-based embedded Linux systemsFamiliarity with OTA (Over-the-Air) update systems such as hawkBit and RAUCExperience with NXP i.MX processors such as the i.MX95 familyFamiliarity with Ethernet infrastructure, including RJ45, PoE systems, and SFP fiber interfaceExperience working with SDR or telecommunications hardware platformsFamiliarity with FCC Part 15, CE, or related electronics certification proceduresExperience working with RF systems or cellular networking equipmentExposure to manufacturing validation and production testing workflowsFamiliarity with Docker, Linux system administration, or remote fleet management toolsSalary/BenefitsSalary: Competitive, commensurate with experienceStock optionsHealth, Dental, and Vision Insurance (free)Life and Disability Insurance (free)401k benefitsFlexible work schedule, including the ability to work from home on certain daysUnlimited paid time offAdditional commuter stipend if Uber/Lyft is required to reach the officeOpportunity for growth as the company and production function scale
