Echodyne is seeking a Senior Sustaining Electrical Engineer to join the Sustaining Engineering team. The role is responsible for ensuring long-term performance, reliability, manufacturability, and supportability of Echodyne's fielded and in-production radar products.
Echodyne builds compact solid-state true beam-steering radars that integrate advanced analog, mixed-signal, digital, power, and embedded subsystems. These radars are designed for autonomous vehicles, uncrewed aircraft and drones, and security applications including border protection, critical infrastructure, and smart cities. The company combines patented metamaterial technology with powerful software to deliver high-performance radar sensors at commercial price points.
In this role, you will partner closely with Sustaining Engineering peers and collaborate across Electrical Design, Systems, Manufacturing, Test, Quality, and Supply Chain teams to investigate issues, resolve defects, and implement durable design improvements throughout the product lifecycle.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop, verify, and document sustaining design updates driven by reliability, yield, component lifecycle, or manufacturability needs
- Evaluate components, materials, and supplier alternates; support qualification of replacements for end-of-life or supply-chain risk mitigation
- Develop ECO (Engineering Change Order) packages, sustaining documentation, and release artifacts
- Lead root-cause investigations, failure analysis, and corrective/preventative actions for analog and mixed-signal circuits and subsystems
- Perform advanced debugging and characterization of mixed-signal PCB assemblies in lab and production environments
- Partner with Manufacturing and Test teams to improve test coverage, debug flows, and production yield
Requirements:
- 6 or more years of hands-on experience with analog and mixed-signal printed circuit assemblies, including debugging, verification, and production support
- Background in analog and mixed-signal circuit theory and hands-on circuit analysis
- Ability to interpret schematics and guide circuit-level design changes with understanding of system-level interactions
- Working knowledge of power integrity, signal integrity, and mixed-signal layout considerations
- Understanding of low-speed and mixed-signal interfaces such as SPI, I2C, GPIO, and clocking architectures
- Familiarity with DFx practices including DFM (Design for Manufacturability), DFA (Design for Assembly), and DFT (Design for Test)
- Experience collaborating in a cross-functional hardware development and production environment
- Eligibility to handle export-controlled information (ITAR/EAR); U.S. Citizenship, green card holder status, or asylum/refugee status in the U.S. required due to export control regulations
