Quick facts
From the original posting
The Role
You'll design the electronics that turn physical experience into data robots can learn from. You'll build the boards and sensor interfaces behind Mecka's capture hardware, taking designs from schematics and first power-on through validation and production. As Mecka expands data collection around the world, your engineering decisions will shape signal quality, power consumption, and the performance of complete recording systems.
What You'll Do
Design circuits and schematics, and develop or review PCB layouts for capture and sensing hardware.
Bring up new boards and diagnose power, signal, timing, and communication problems on the bench.
Partner with firmware and mechanical engineers to validate complete systems under realistic recording workloads.
Work with suppliers to improve designs based on prototype results, production tests, component qualification, and field failures.
Document designs, measurements, and design changes clearly so others can build on your work.
What You Bring
3–4 years of experience designing and bringing up electronics hardware.
Depth in at least one of these specializations:
Digital hardware: SoC boards, memory, high-speed interfaces, signal and power integrity, and board bring-up.
Sensor electronics: low-noise acquisition, microcontrollers, compact circuits, and C or C++ firmware for hardware integration.
Experience designing schematics and PCBs in tools such as Altium or KiCad, and bringing up the resulting hardware.
A strong foundation in analog and digital electronics, power supplies, grounding, decoupling, and sensor interfaces.
Practical debugging skills with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power supplies, and electronic loads.
Ability to reason about signal quality, timing, power consumption, and how electronics and firmware interact.
Hands-on prototyping and rework skills.
Nice-to-have:
Experience with flexible circuits, EMC, wireless systems, battery-powered devices, or production testing.
