About Axon 911Axon 911 brings together Prepared and Carbyne under Axon. Together, we are creating the only platform that combines modern 911 infrastructure with an AI intelligence layer-helping public safety agencies move faster, make better decisions, and deliver better outcomes in the moments that matter most.
911 is the backbone of public safety, yet the professionals behind it have long been held back by outdated technology. Axon 911 is here to change that. Joining this team means more than taking a job-it means helping shape the future of emergency response and building a safer, more connected world.
Your ImpactWe are seeking a
Senior Electrical Engineer specializing in schematic and circuit board design to own the electrical design, development, and validation of complex, highly integrated hardware for mission-critical connected devices.
As a founding member of our hardware team, you will have significant ownership across the full hardware lifecycle-from system architecture and component selection through schematic capture, PCB layout, bring-up, validation, certification, and mass production.
You will design high-density, mixed-signal electronics integrating application processors, memory, power management, battery systems, wireless devices, and high-speed interfaces. You'll work closely with RF, Mechanical, Firmware, and Manufacturing teams to solve complex challenges across signal integrity, power integrity, board architecture, thermal constraints, EMI/EMC, and form factor.
What You'll Do- Schematic & Circuit Design: Own detailed mixed-signal schematic design across application processors, microcontrollers, memory, power management, battery charging, audio modules, sensors, and high-speed digital interfaces.
- PCB Design & Layout: Drive complex, high-density PCB designs from architecture through layout and release, including layer stack-up, component placement, routing strategy, grounding, and design reviews.
- Signal & Power Integrity: Design for robust signal and power integrity across high-speed digital interfaces, sensitive analog circuitry, power rails, and mixed-signal systems.
- Component & Power Architecture: Lead component selection, power-tree design, battery/charging architecture, design calculations, derating, and electrical tradeoff analysis.
- Mechanical Integration: Partner closely with Mechanical and Industrial Design to optimize board shape, component placement, connectors, antennas, thermal performance, and overall form factor.
- Bring-Up & Debugging: Lead board bring-up, characterization, validation, and root-cause analysis using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, power supplies, and related laboratory equipment.
- Production Readiness: Own BOMs, design documentation, design reviews, verification, manufacturing test requirements, and electrical readiness through SP/EVT/DVT/PVT, certification, and mass production.
- Technical Leadership: Provide technical direction and design review support to electrical engineers and external design partners, establishing scalable electrical engineering standards and best practices.
What You Bring- 7+ years of electrical and circuit board design experience and a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
- Deep hands-on experience taking complex electronics from architecture -> schematic capture -> PCB layout -> bring-up -> validation -> production.
- Strong experience designing high-density, mixed-signal PCBs incorporating application processors or MCUs, high-speed memory, power delivery, battery/charging circuitry, and wired and wireless into compact, highly integrated, battery-powered hardware.
- Advanced knowledge of schematic design, PCB stack-up, grounding, component placement, high-speed routing, signal integrity, power integrity, and EMI/EMC.
- Demonstrated expertise designing high-speed interfaces such as DDR, PCIe, USB, Ethernet, MIPI, or similar technologies.
- Strong understanding of power architecture, including DC/DC converters, LDOs, battery-powered systems, charging circuitry, power sequencing, and low-power design.
- Hands-on experience with Cadence OrCAD and Allegro or comparable professional schematic and PCB design tools.
- Experience designing rigid, flex, or rigid-flex PCBs within demanding mechanical, thermal, and form-factor constraints.
- Strong hands-on bring-up and debugging experience using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, power supplies, and related test equipment.
- Proven experience taking hardware through SP, EVT, DVT, PVT, certification, manufacturing ramp, and mass production.
- Experience designing electronics to meet U.S. and international hardware, wireless, EMC, and safety requirements.
- Strong proficiency partnering with CMs, ODMs, JDMs, PCB fabricators, and geographically distributed engineering teams.
Travel: Willingness and flexibility to travel domestically and internationally up to 40% of the time, based on business and team needs.
Work Location This position offers a hybrid work arrangement and
requires regular travel to our Hardware Engineering Lab in Boston, MA, with onsite presence based on project needs and development timelines.
- Relocation Assistance: Relocation support is available for qualified candidates who are currently based in the U.S., authorized to work for a U.S. employer, and open to relocating closer to one of our regional hubs.
- Fully Remote Eligibility: Full-time remote eligibility will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to accommodate specific needs.
