Role summary

Echodyne is seeking an Electrical Design Engineer with expertise in Analog & Mixed-Signal (AMS) circuit design for advanced radar systems. The role involves designing, verifying, and supporting AMS subsystems, contributing to robust radar architectures, and resolving technical challenges. Responsibilities include circuit design, simulation, analysis, board bring-up, testing, and troubleshooting using lab equipment. The engineer will also apply Design for Manufacturability, Assembly, and Test principles. A BS in Engineering, Material Science, or Physics and 2+ years of experience in mixed-signal PCB design are required. Eligibility to handle export-controlled information (ITAR/EAR) is mandatory.

Radar Reinvented.

Echodyne offers the world’s first compact solid-state true beam-steering radar for a wide range of industries and applications. Our high-performance radars work in all weather and are designed for autonomous vehicles, uncrewed aircraft & drones, and security of borders, critical infrastructure, and smart cities. The company combines the patented technology of metamaterials with powerful software to create a radar sensor with unprecedented performance at commercial price points. Echodyne offers its radars to companies working in Automotive, Transportation, Critical Infrastructure Protection, Border Security, Smart Cities, Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS), and Airspace Management including Urban Air Mobility (UTM).

Echodyne is seeking an Electrical Design Engineer to join our fast-growing team.

RESPONSIBILITIES

In this role, you will contribute to the maturation of Analog and Digital/Mixed-Signal (AMS) subsystems for advanced radar systems, ensuring technical excellence and strong cross-functional collaboration. You will design, verify, transition to manufacturing, and aid in supporting the long-term health of those designs.

You will lead and contribute to design-shaping discussions and technical reviews with multidisciplinary teams to develop robust radar architectures, resolve complex technical challenges, and align work with program objectives and Design for Excellence (DFX) principles.

You will provide technical expertise (while continuing to build your own) in AMS circuit design, simulation, and analysis to guide design execution, verification planning, and risk mitigation. Throughout the product lifecycle, you will contribute to root-cause investigations, trade studies, and continuous improvement initiatives to enhance subsystem performance.

REQUIRED SKILLS / EXPERIENCE

Background in Analog & Mixed-Signal Circuit Design

Strong foundation in analog and mixed-signal circuit theory and hands-on experience developing high-reliability commercial or consumer products

Understanding of core analog and digital building blocks including operational amplifiers, logic gates, clock buffers, level shifters, power management ICs, current mirrors, charge pumps, oscillators, and voltage regulators

Understanding of low-speed signaling protocols (e.g. SPI, I2C, etc.)

Skilled in circuit design and simulation using tools such as Altium Designer (or equivalent) and SPICE-like tools

Understanding of the intricacies of component selection and layout optimization, balancing efficiency, thermal performance, and signal integrity

Practical experience applying principles of Design for Manufacturability, Assembly, and Test to improve product quality, testability and yield throughout the design lifecycle

Strong Testing & Verification Background

Hands-on experience in board bring-up, Acceptance Testing, and Design Verification of PCBs, ensuring seamless transitions from prototype to production

Skilled in debugging and troubleshooting circuits using oscilloscopes, function generators, logic analyzers, digital multimeters and other lab equipment

QUALIFICATIONS

BS Degree in Engineering, Material Science, or Physics

2 or more years’ experience in design of printed circuit assemblies for mixed signal applications
