Summary

We are seeking a multidisciplinary systems engineer to join our team in an exploratory capacity. This role focuses on early-stage technology exploration, feasibility assessment, and architectural definition for potential future sensing and platform capabilities. You will work at the intersection of multiple technical domains to evaluate emerging technologies, define system requirements, and develop proof-of-concept prototypes that inform product direction.

This role operates in an exploratory, research-oriented environment where ambiguity and iteration are expected. You will have the autonomy to pursue promising technical directions while collaborating closely with cross-functional partners to ensure alignment with product and platform goals.

BS in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Optical Sciences, or related technical field\nExperience in at least two technical domains (e.g., optics, sensing, RF, instrumentation, signal processing)\nDemonstrated experience translating requirements into system architectures and design specifications\nHands-on experience with experimental prototype development and benchtop characterization\nExperience with technical computing tools (e.g., MATLAB, Python) for modeling, simulation, and data analysis

PhD in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, or related field\n10+ years of experience in system architecture, exploratory engineering, or related roles\nExperience with optical system design and simulation tools (e.g., Zemax, Code V)\nBackground in sensing technologies, bioengineering instrumentation, or consumer electronics\nExperience working in exploratory or advanced development environments, with a track record of solving complex technical problems with limited specifications or constraints\nStrong quantitative analysis skills and comfort working with uncertainty\nExcellent communication skills with ability to present technical concepts to diverse audiences\nExperience mentoring or leading technical investigations
