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.

Collaborate with physicists, firmware, optics, and mechanical teams to architect electronics for quantum instruments and precision INS.
Design, simulate, and validate low-noise analog front ends, data-converter paths, and mixed-signal control loops.
Create schematics and perform placement/routing in Altium for complex, space-constrained PCBAs.
Build robust power trees and POL supplies with tight ripple, transient, and efficiency targets.
Document requirements, design notes, test plans, and manufacturing handoff; support prototype-to-production transition.
FPGA/MCU board design and high-speed interfaces (e.g., LVDS).

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
2-5 years of hands-on hardware experience (internships/co-ops count).
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 (you don't need all to apply): Analog/mixed-signal design fundamentals: op-amps, references, filters, instrumentation amps.

Signal integrity/EMI: impedance control, stackup selection, crosstalk and return-path management.
Power specialization: sequencing, current sensing, thermal management, low-power techniques.
RF/microwave basics: LO distribution, mixers, phase noise, shielding.
Embedded familiarity: I2C/SPI/UART bring-up, reading datasheets
basic Python for test automation.
DFM/DFT, manufacturing processes, and reliability/environmental testing.
Exposure to Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems and formal Engineering Change Order (ECO) processes.
Vector Atomic values teamwork, open and honest discourse, and work-life balance.
