Role OverviewNautilus is a small interdisciplinary team seeking a Staff Electrical Engineer to provide technical leadership in the design, development, and delivery of low-power, compact embedded electronics for textile-integrated systems.
What You Will Do
Architect, design, and deliver embedded PCBs integrating microcontrollers, SoCs, sensors, and power management circuits, and lead board bring-up, debugging, and validation of prototype and production hardware.
Why It Might Be a Fit
The ideal candidate has experience working independently and as a member of a fast-moving, high-performing team, with technical craftmanship and integrity paramount to success in this position.
Requirements
- 9+ years of experience designing, debugging, and deploying embedded hardware products from concept through production
- Demonstrated ownership of hardware that has entered manufacturing or fielded use
- Proficiency with schematic capture and PCB layout tools (e.g., Altium Designer, KiCad, OrCAD)
- Strong understanding of PCB design best practices for signal integrity, power distribution, grounding, EMI/EMC, and mixed-signal layouts
- Hands-on RF experience, such as integrating wireless modules, designing RF signal paths, antennas, or supporting RF validation and tuning
- Experience using high-speed lab equipment (e.g., spectrum analyzers, VNAs, high-bandwidth oscilloscopes)
- Experience integrating microcontrollers, SoCs, sensors, wireless modules, and power management into compact, low-power designs
- Deep familiarity with embedded interfaces and protocols (I2C, SPI, UART, USB, GPIO)
- Experience collaborating with firmware teams on complex hardware/software integration and debugging
- Working knowledge of DFM, DFT, and manufacturing workflows with contract manufacturers
- Strong documentation and communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain design decisions and tradeoffs
- Ability to operate independently, take initiative, and provide technical leadership in small, fast-moving teams
