●      Complete schematic as well as single and multilayer PCB designs for control and converter designs for high-frequency and high-power density applications.

●      Develop new symbols and footprints for custom parts using Altium Designer.

●      Update Bill of Materials (BOM) and testing plans for empirical verification of designs.

●      Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams on EMC/EMI compliance, thermal management, manufacturing, and mechanical integration to improve PCB design and system robustness.

●      Routinely update the CTO on project status, design improvements, and other recommendations.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

●      Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering or related engineering field.

●      2+ years of full-time experience in PCB design using Altium Designer.

●      Demonstrated experience in board layout for high-density power electronics and analog circuit designs.

●      Excellent oral and written communication skills.

●      US Citizen or US Permanent Resident (required).

●      Ability to operate in a fast-paced startup environment, make effective and timely decisions, and drive organizational and procedural improvements.

●      Genuine passion for wireless power technology and building a world where battery state is no longer a concern.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

●      Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering.

●      Prior experience in automotive, power tools, or aerospace industries.

●      Prior experience designing megahertz switching converter designs.

●      Prior experience developing PCB designs for high-volume production products.

●      Prior experience working at a startup or early-stage company.

WHAT SETS THIS ROLE APART

●      Own critical PCB design challenges at a company building breakthrough wireless power technology.

●      Collaborate across power electronics, mechanical, and systems engineering in a tight-knit team.
