As a Senior Electrical Engineer at Teal, you will own the design of multiple UAV subsystems from concept through production, serving as a subject-matter expert in at least three critical drone technologies. You will design high-complexity PCBA's incorporating DFT, DFM, and EMC best practices, drive EMI/EMC compliance testing, and lead design reviews. You will also write and execute Engineering Verification Test procedures, troubleshoot issues, and collaborate with cross-functional teams including mechanical and firmware engineering to ensure first-pass success.

Responsibilities

Serve as primary engineer responsible for multiple subsystems within a design or a single subsystem incorporated into multiple, possibly concurrently running, projects
Design subsystems that are incorporated into larger designs
Serve as a subject-matter expert in at least three technologies critical to UAVs
Design high complexity PCBAs that incorporate design-for-test (DFT), design-for-manufacturing (DFM), and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) best practices to maximize the probability of first-pass success
Drive EMI/EMC compliance testing
Conduct trade studies to evaluate new technologies that may be incorporated into Teal’s designs
Write Engineering Verification Test (EVT) procedures
Execute Engineering Verification Test (EVT) procedures and write reports documenting EVT test results
Troubleshoot issues uncovered in EVT, DVT, and reported by customers in the field
Estimate the level of effort in engineering hours and total duration of tasks assigned to you to help refine your lead engineer’s and project manager’s schedule
Lead design reviews of your work and participate in design reviews for others
Perform PCB layout as needed and work with both internal and external layout resources
Work with manufacturing test engineers to develop production line tests by leveraging the engineering validation test procedures and results
Guide sustaining engineering on existing designs to manage cost and component obsolescence as needed
Maintain an accurate electrical bill of materials (BOM) in the product lifecycle management (PLM) system

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering
9+ years’ experience owning designs from concept through production, leading multi-subsystem development and ensuring first-pass success through cross-functional collaboration with mechanical and firmware teams.
Solid understanding of PCB manufacturing technology
Proficiency in defining a PCB stackup that minimizes cost while still achieving excellent EMI/EMC performance
Proficiency with high-density interconnect (HDI) PCB technologies
Solid understanding of PCBA manufacturing technology
Solid understanding of how to use different type of electrical components depending on a design’s operating requirements
Good working knowledge of at least 3 key drone technologies (e.g., Brushless DC Motor Drive, Inertial sensors, GPS, Lithium-Ion batteries, Camera Interfaces, Radio modules)
Proficiency in use of laboratory test equipment
Excellent communication skills in writing reports and corresponding with manufacturers
Proficiency in Altium Designer
Proficiency with a SPICE-based circuit simulator or a signal/power integrity design tool (SI/PI)
Solid understanding electrical signal propagation
Experience using a programming language to automate testing, interface with test equipment, and process and visualize test results (Python is preferred)

Benefits

Compensation: Base pay, plus generous annual equity package and potential bonuses.
