📋 Description

• About Us: • Voyant Photonics, is transforming machine perception with a new class of LiDAR devices that are compact enough to fit in the palm of your hand and powerful enough to measure range, velocity, and reflectivity with unparalleled accuracy. • Our technology disrupts the status quo of bulky, expensive, and power-hungry LiDAR systems, making high-precision sensing accessible for widespread adoption in robotics, autonomous vehicles, drones, industrial automation, and beyond. • Discover how we’re redefining what’s possible by making real products out of cutting-edge research in silicon photonics. • Why Join Us: • As a growing company, we’re looking for engineers who want to move fast, solve hard problems, and leave their mark on a foundational technology. • We’re looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer who thrives in fast-paced, high-collaboration environments and brings deep experience in PCB design, system bring-up, and cross-functional integration. • You’ll be responsible for designing and validating printed circuit boards that bring together high-speed digital, low-noise analog, power delivery, and custom photonic interfaces serving as the backbone of our next-generation LiDAR systems. • What You’ll Do: • Lead board-level development: Design mixed-signal, multi-layer PCBs that integrate ADCs, microcontrollers, FPGAs, power regulators, and custom analog interfaces. Own schematics, layout collaboration, BOM creation, and bring-up. • Drive system integration: Work closely with photonics, mechanical, and embedded software teams to ensure tight alignment across hardware interfaces, physical constraints, and thermal/power management. • Hands-on bring-up and validation: Perform functional testing, debug board-level issues, and characterize performance using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power analyzers, and signal generators. • Manage product constraints: Balance trade-offs around size, power, thermal, EMI, and manufacturability in complex, space-constrained designs. • Support production: Collaborate with manufacturing and test engineering to ensure designs are robust, testable, and ready for scaling.

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in board-level hardware development, including design, bring-up, and validation of production-grade systems. • Proven ownership of full product lifecycle from concept through production in compact, multi-disciplinary systems (e.g., sensing, robotics, autonomy). • Strong proficiency in schematic capture and PCB design tools (e.g., Altium Designer). • Working knowledge of layout principles for high-speed digital (LVDS, SPI, I²C, DDR, SerDes) and noise-sensitive analog signals. • Deep understanding of power distribution networks, switching regulators, and LDOs. • Comfort with lab-based debugging using oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, and similar tools. • Familiarity with DFM, component derating, and production test workflows. • Experience with rigid-flex or high-density interconnect boards. • Exposure to optoelectronic or photonic system integration. • Experience working with contract manufacturers or supporting pilot builds. • Familiarity with board-level FPGA integration and embedded systems.

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive base salary and a meaningful equity package. • Comprehensive health benefits (Medical, Dental, Vision). • Unlimited PTO and paid company holidays. • Team events and company meetups.
