Description:

Senior Hardware Product Engineer - PCB Design & Customer Success

We're looking for a seasoned hardware engineer to help drive adoption and development of an advanced PCB automation platform. In this highly technical, customer-facing role, you'll work directly with electrical engineers to improve design workflows, influence product direction, and ensure that complex boards meet real-world demands.

What You'll Do:

  • Support engineers using next-gen PCB automation tools, helping them solve design challenges and unlock the platform's full potential.
  • Gather user feedback, uncover pain points, and work cross-functionally with internal teams to inform roadmap priorities and product improvements.
  • Serve as a key voice in the product development process-connecting hands-on design insights with engineering and ML teams.
  • Review and validate complex PCBs-ranging from high-speed motherboards to AI and robotics hardware-to ensure accuracy, performance, and manufacturability.
  • Translate customer needs into actionable technical specifications and enhancements.
  • Act as a technical advocate during high-stakes discussions with customers and internal stakeholders.

What We're Looking For:

  • 7-12 years of experience designing high-performance circuit boards.
  • A degree in Electrical Engineering (advanced degrees preferred).
  • A track record of building 50-100+ complex boards involving high-speed memory, FPGAs, power delivery, and network interfaces.
  • Experience with Altium, Cadence, or similar board design tools.
  • Deep specialization in at least one area: high-speed digital, RF, or high-power design.
  • Strong presentation and client-facing communication skills.
  • Experience navigating both structured, process-heavy engineering environments and fast-paced startups.
  • History of staying in roles long enough to show real impact and career growth.
  • Prior startup experience is required.

Please Don't Apply If:

  • You require visa sponsorship.
  • Your experience is limited to schematic-level design without layout expertise.
  • You haven't worked on technically demanding boards or within formal hardware review processes.
