About the role

  • Our team of engineers, scientists, software developers, and operations professionals works together to solve complex challenges and turn bold ideas into real-world solutions.
  • We value collaboration, curiosity, and diverse perspectives, and we give every team member the opportunity to make an immediate impact while growing their skills.
  • If you're excited to work on breakthrough technology in a fast-paced, hands-on environment, we'd love to hear from you.

Responsibilities

  • Join forces with physicists and engineers-across electrical, mechanical, and optical domains-to bring system and schematic requirements to life through innovative electronic designs tailored for cutting-edge quantum instruments.
  • Establish, uphold, and advocate for PCB layout standards and design rules, including stack-ups, trace/space specifications, impedance profiles, creepage/clearance measures, and via strategies.
  • Drive component selection, placement, and routing with a focus on optimizing signal integrity, power integrity, thermal efficiency, manufacturability, and ease of service.
  • Collaborate closely with electrical engineers to execute controlled-impedance routing techniques (including microstrip, stripline, and differential pairs) while effectively managing timing-critical nets.
  • Place a strong emphasis on manufacturability and testability throughout the design process.
  • Lead the complete PCBA design journey from initial concept through to production.
  • Contribute to our manufacturing initiatives by addressing support issues, defining tests, and ensuring adherence to DFM guidelines in PCB designs.
  • Continuously follow and enhance design directives and procedures.
  • Design and develop Point-of-Load (POL) power supply circuits to effectively manage complex board-level power distribution, ensuring high efficiency while meeting stringent power sequencing requirements.
  • Ensure accurate and up-to-date design data and documentation in our cloud-based PLM system, including revisions and engineering change orders (ECOs).

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field, accompanied by a minimum of six years of professional experience
  • alternatively, a Master's degree with at least three years of professional experience
  • Ability to work comfortably in a laboratory setting.
  • To comply with the US export control laws, Vector Atomic employees must be U.S. citizens (born or naturalized), lawful U.S. permanent residents (green card holders), and certain categories of refugees, and asylees.
  • Required expertise: Demonstrated expertise in high-density layouts, encompassing HDI, fine-pitch BGAs, high-speed differential pairs, and mixed-signal designs.
  • Nice-to-have expertise: Proven hands-on experience in designing PCBs using Altium Designer, including expertise in schematic capture, layout, library management, and fabrication file generation.

Nice to have

  • Proficient in designing PCBAs that feature modern FPGAs, MCUs, mixed-signal, and precision analog circuits, ideally with Altium Designer.
  • Experience in designing POL power circuits with stringent ripple and EMI specifications.
  • Hands-on experience with hardware debugging and familiarity with laboratory test equipment such as oscilloscopes, digital voltmeters, and spectrum analyzers.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication abilities.
  • Proven hands-on experience in designing PCBs using Altium Designer, including expertise in schematic capture, layout, library management, and fabrication file generation.
  • Vector Atomic values teamwork, open and honest discourse, and work-life balance.
  • Please note that it is less common for candidates to be hired at the top of this range, as final compensation is determined by factors such as job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
  • Vector Atomic does not accept unsolicited resumes from individual recruiters or third-party recruiting agencies in response to job postings.
