Radar Reinvented.

Echodyne offers the world’s first compact solid-state true beam-steering radar for a wide range of industries and applications. Our high-performance radars work in all weather and are designed for autonomous vehicles, uncrewed aircraft & drones, and security of borders, critical infrastructure, and smart cities. The company combines the patented technology of metamaterials with powerful software to create a radar sensor with unprecedented performance at commercial price points. Echodyne offers its radars to companies working in Automotive, Transportation, Critical Infrastructure Protection, Border Security, Smart Cities, Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS), and Airspace Management including Urban Air Mobility (UTM).


Echodyne is seeking a Senior Analog & Mixed Signal Engineer to join our fast-growing team.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • In this role, you will lead the maturation and sustainment of Analog and Digital/Mixed-Signal (AMS) subsystems for advanced radar systems, ensuring technical excellence and fostering strong cross-functional collaboration.
  • You will own design, verification, transition to manufacturing, and long-term sustainment of RF subsystems, serving as the primary technical point of contact for all related engineering activities. This includes driving design-shaping discussions and technical reviews with multidisciplinary teams—such as Systems, Software, Mechanical, and Manufacturing—to develop robust radar architectures, resolve complex technical challenges, and align work with program objectives and Design for Excellence (DFX) principles.
  • You will provide deep technical expertise in AMS circuit design, simulation, and analysis to guide design execution, verification planning, and risk mitigation. Additionally, you will define and architect production test strategies and supporting infrastructure to enable efficient, reliable manufacturing and quality assurance. Throughout the product lifecycle, you will lead root-cause investigations, trade studies, and continuous improvement initiatives to sustain and enhance subsystem performance.
  • Other related tasks required to fulfill the needs of the business

REQUIRED SKILLS / EXPERIENCE

Education & Experience

  • MSEE with 5 or more years of industry experience, or BSEE with 7 or more years of experience in analog and mixed-signal circuit design

Analog & Mixed-Signal Circuit Design

  • Deep understanding of core analog and digital building blocks including operational amplifiers, logic gates, clock buffers, level shifters, power management ICs, current mirrors, charge pumps, oscillators, and voltage regulators
  • Skilled in circuit design and simulation using tools such as Altium Designer (or equivalent) and SPICE
  • Hands-on experience in board bring-up, Acceptance Testing, and Design Verification of PCBs, ensuring seamless transitions from prototype to production
  • Experience designing conductively cooled electronics and applying thermal management techniques for high-performance systems
  • Expertise in component selection and layout optimization, balancing efficiency, thermal performance, and signal integrity
  • Practical experience applying principles of Design for Manufacturability, Assembly, and Test to improve product quality, testability and yield throughout the design lifecycle

Mixed-Signal Interfaces & High-Speed Design

  • Strong knowledge of mixed-signal communication protocols used in both primary and peripheral systems.
  • Expert understanding of low-speed interfaces such as SPI, I²C, and UART
  • Hands-on experience implementing high-speed digital interfaces, including MHz+ clock signals and DDR designs
  • Familiarity with high-speed data converters and techniques for signal integrity and noise reduction
  • Understanding transmission line theory, impedance matching, crosstalk, and isolation for reliable high-speed performance

Testing & Verification

  • Solid understanding of Design-for-Test best practices for dense PCB assemblies
  • Proficient in SPICE simulations and performance verification for new and existing designs
  • Skilled in debugging and troubleshooting complex, multi-subsystem systems using oscilloscopes, function generators, logic analyzers, and digital multimeters
