Senior Electrical Engineer, Altium for PCB Design, Dallas
Our team at Riccione Resources has partnered with a pioneering deep-tech company to help scale their hardware team. We are looking for an engineer to split their time 50/50 between PCB layout and hands-on hardware bring-up/validation.
Our client builds a breakthrough technology that acts as a high-precision positioning system for real-time human-machine interaction. Applications are for medical, physical AI, and robotics.
The hardware is dense, precise, and unforgiving: highly compact PCBs, fine-pitch components, and sensitive mixed-signal circuits where layout quality directly impacts system tracking accuracy. If you love complex, tangible electrical engineering problems with a direct line from your work to a physical product, this is your environment.
This is a rare opportunity to join a rapidly growing team where your designs are manufactured and shipped directly to cutting-edge medical and AI robotics customers.
Why should you apply here?
- Entrepreneurial firm, 7+ years in business.
- Startup mentality.
- Received third round funding.
- 40+ employees with the goal to double in size next year.
- High demand for the product.
- Application in medical, physical AI, robotics.
- Intelligent staff solving challenging problems.
What you will be doing:
- High-Density PCB Design: Lead the schematic capture and multi-layer PCB layout process (utilizing industry-standard ECAD suites) for highly compact, space-constrained designs featuring advanced packaging like fine-pitch BGAs.
- Hands-on Validation & Bring-up: Own the diagnostic testing, debugging, and functional bring-up of newly developed circuitry and rapid-prototype board runs assembled on-site.
- Test Infrastructure Development: Design and sustain the electrical architecture for custom test fixtures utilized both internally and at international manufacturing partner sites (managed remotely with virtually no travel required).
- Lifecycle Manufacturing Support: Author detailed hardware specifications and interface closely with fabrication partners to transition designs smoothly from initial prototype runs to high-volume production.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with multidisciplinary teams—including firmware, software, industrial design, and operations—to ensure robust product functionality and standards compliance.
- Engineering Documentation: Author and maintain comprehensive technical documentation, including product requirements, hardware design files, and verification/validation (V&V) test plans.
- Workflow Optimization: Play an active role in establishing and scaling robust hardware development processes as our engineering team expands.
What are the minimum qualifications?
- 3+ years of direct PCB layout experience (we’re hiring at multiple levels; more experienced candidates are encouraged to apply).
- Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, mechatronics, or a related field.
- Proficiency with Altium.
- Strong intuition for, and understanding of, circuits and electrical systems.
- Comfortable solving complex, ambiguous electrical problems with limited direction.
- Working understanding of common software development processes and the ability to partner closely with firmware and software engineers.
- Able to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
What will make your résumé stand out?
- Experience with EMI/EMC standards and testing.
- C programming experience.
- Python experience.
- Familiarity with IEC 60601 standards and experience working in an ISO 13485 quality system (valuable for our medical product lines).
- Experience taking hardware from prototype into volume manufacturing.
Location: Carrollton or Dallas, TX, 100% onsite.
Salary: 120k – 140k + Equity.
Relocation: Will assist.
Citizenship: U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident.
