Sonic Summary

The position requires a candidate to design and develop complex electrical systems, including power distribution and motor drive systems.
Applicants must have a technical degree in Electrical Engineering or an equivalent field, along with 5+ years of relevant experience in building complex electromechanical systems and sensors.
Key responsibilities include executing full-cycle PCB development and collaborating with firmware and mechanical engineers to define system specifications.
Candidates should possess a deep understanding of DC-DC converters, EMI/EMC mitigation, and standard communication protocols such as I2C and SPI.
The salary for this role is competitive and commensurate with experience, reflecting the advanced skill set required.

Design and develop complex electrical systems, including power distribution, sensor integration, and motor drive systems.
Execute full-cycle PCB development—schematic capture, component selection, multi-layer layout, and manufacturing file generation (Altium, KiCad, or OrCAD).
Assemble, test, and debug initial prototypes
Work closely with firmware and mechanical engineers to define connectors, pinouts, and physical constraints.
Develop specifications and accelerated test plans to validate the product for its lifetime
Interface with PCB fabricators and component suppliers to ensure timely delivery and DFM
