About the role

  • You'll work hands-on with firmware, mechanical, and systems engineers, taking embedded Linux platforms, mixed-signal PCBAs, and camera and vision systems from architecture through production.

Responsibilities

  • Design and bring up mixed-signal PCBAs and SoM carrier boards, including display and UI subsystems - from schematic capture through layout, test, and validation
  • Integrate and validate camera modules, image sensors, and sensing hardware - own the electrical design from sensor to carrier board: connectors, cable assemblies, and interface routing
  • Design multi-branch wire harness assemblies for mixed-signal and power routing in rugged, high-reliability environments
  • Build and own test infrastructure - bench fixtures, automated test scripts, and ATE procedures - for hardware validation and production screening
  • Lead new platform validation
  • drive root-cause analysis and collaborate with firmware on interface debug
  • Partner with manufacturing teams on DFM/DFT, stackup decisions, vendor qualification, and NPI
  • collaborate with mechanical engineers on packaging and thermal trade-offs
  • Own the system-level picture across concurrent programs, define scope in ambiguous situations, and adapt quickly as priorities shift

Requirements

  • 5+ years of hands-on experience on production hardware products
  • Familiarity with embedded Linux systems - comfortable working alongside firmware on BSP bring-up, driver validation, and interface debugging
  • BS or MS in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent); 5+ years of hands-on experience on production hardware products
  • Demonstrated end-to-end ownership of low-voltage digital and mixed-signal PCBAs - schematic capture, component selection, layout, and manufacturing release
  • Experience designing carrier boards for System on Module (SoM) platforms, including high-speed interfaces (MIPI CSI-2, GMSL2/SERDES, PCIe, USB, GigE) and peripheral integration via standard serial protocols (SPI, I2C, UART); comfortable at the hardware/firmware boundary
  • Able to independently bring up and debug new hardware; comfortable with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and standard bench equipment; hands-on with PCB rework and cable assembly
  • Strong communicator; able to work independently and drive cross-functional workstreams to completion

Nice to have

  • Startup experience preferred.

Skills

  • Mill is a waste prevention technology company reimagining what it means to eliminate waste, starting with food.

Compensation

  • The estimated base salary range for this position is $195k to $225k, which does not include the value of benefits or a potential equity grant.
