Job description
This role owns the analog design work for a line of optical measurement instruments. You will design and maintain analog and mixed-signal circuits from DC to 2 GHz, including small-signal amplifier chains, precision data-acquisition systems, and DC-DC power supplies. You will work alongside digital and embedded engineers across the full design life cycle, from concept through schematic capture, prototyping, and production release. You will also write a portion of the test code used to support manufacturing., * Design and maintain analog and mixed-signal circuits from DC to 2 GHz, including small-signal amplifier chains, precision data-acquisition systems, and DC-DC power supplies
- Design low-noise photodiode front ends and signal conditioning circuits for optical measurement instruments
- Select components and complete schematic capture, then work with a technician who handles the PCB layout
- Design analog circuitry so the board meets the requirements of its digital sections (FPGA and microcontroller based subsystems)
- Analyze circuits using SPICE simulation and bench testing, and document the results clearly
- Write test and tooling code in C#, C, or C++ to support manufacturing (about 20% of the role)
- Assist manufacturing in developing test procedures and diagnosing issues during production startup of new products
- Define testing and acceptance criteria for finished products
- Provide engineering support to customer service and marketing when field issues call for electrical engineering expertise
- Participate in design reviews and contribute to cross-functional project teams
- Track trends and innovations in components, technologies, and techniques relevant to the product lines
- Continuously improve the performance, reliability, and manufacturability of the products
- May lead projects of broad scope to develop and introduce new or significantly enhanced products into manufacturing
- May mentor less experienced engineers, * On-site five days a week in Beaverton, Oregon. The team is flexible day to day but does not have a set hybrid schedule.
- Some travel may be required to support the business., Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI): We may use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to support parts of our hiring process, including sourcing, screening, and evaluating candidates. AI helps assess applications and qualifications, but final decisions are made by our hiring team. By applying, you acknowledge and agree that your application may be reviewed using AI tools.
