To strengthen our team at the Orlando location, we are looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer. As a key member of MicroVision’s Hardware Design Engineering team, you will collaborate with various technical teams in the company to design and take into production market defining Automotive LiDAR products.

Summary:

The Senior Electrical Engineer contributes to the design, development, and validation of circuit boards and electrical subsystems for automotive LiDAR systems. This role participates in the product development lifecycle, applying strong board-level design skills and hands-on problem solving across development and integration phases. The ideal candidate brings solid technical depth in analog, digital, mixed-signal, and power circuit design, and is eager to grow toward increased ownership and technical leadership over time.

Your responsibilities:

• Own the design and development of circuit boards for automotive LiDAR products, from concept through production release
• Participate in board-level architecture decisions, schematic development, component selection, and design tradeoff analysis for mixed-signal, power, control, and interface circuits
• Collaborate with mechanical, firmware, systems, optics, manufacturing, test, quality, and supply chain teams to support successful product integration
• Execute hardware bring-up, debug, integration, validation, and characterization activities in both laboratory and system-level environments
• Develop and execute test plans to verify performance, functionality, reliability, and design robustness
• Investigate and resolve design, integration, and manufacturing issues through structured root cause analysis and corrective action, with support from senior engineers as needed
• Apply design for manufacturability (DFM), design for test (DFT), and design for reliability (DFR) practices throughout the product lifecycle
• Review PCB layouts to verify implementation of electrical requirements, including power integrity, signal integrity, grounding, thermal considerations, and EMI mitigation
• Generate and maintain technical documentation including design specifications, schematics, test reports, engineering change documentation, and release artifacts
• Support product sustainment activities, including component changes, obsolescence management, supplier issues, yield improvement, and continuous product improvement
• Participate in design reviews and contribute to improving team processes and best practices

 

Our Required Skills and Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
• 5–10 years of experience in electrical hardware development, with demonstrated experience in board-level design and product development
• Solid experience with schematic capture, circuit analysis, component selection, and PCB development processes
• Experience contributing to products through multiple phases of the development lifecycle, including design, integration, validation, and production
• Hands-on lab skills including board bring-up, debugging, failure analysis, and use of standard test equipment such as oscilloscopes, power supplies, DMMs, and logic analyzers
• Experience with analog, digital, mixed-signal, and power circuit design
• Working knowledge of hardware development best practices, including design reviews, risk reduction, and documentation discipline
• Ability to collaborate effectively across cross-functional teams in a fast-paced product development environment
• Strong written and verbal communication skills

 

Preferred Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
• Exposure to SI/PI analysis using HyperLynx or equivalent tools
• Familiarity with complex sensing, imaging, or electro-optical systems
• Experience with schematic capture and PCB layout using Altium Designer
• Exposure to environmental, reliability, or compliance testing
• Familiarity with automotive product development processes, requirements, or standards
• Experience working with contract manufacturers or supporting production activities
