Proficiency with tools such as Altium Designer, LTspice, MATLAB, or Python for simulation and analysis.
Strong documentation and communication skills.
Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, interdisciplinary startup environment.

Lead the electrical design of precision analog, mixed-signal, and digital electronics supporting quantum control systems.
Collaborate with physicists, software developers, and mechanical engineers to define system requirements and interfaces.
Architect and develop hardware subsystems including power delivery, low-noise analog front ends, high-speed digital control, and RF/microwave circuitry.
Capable of doing PCB layout (Altium preferred) and validation, working closely with other engineers and external manufacturing partners.
Guide bring-up, test, and debug of custom boards and system-level integration.
Define and enforce best practices in electrical design, including design reviews, documentation, and validation procedures.
Drive continuous improvement of system performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
Mentor junior engineers and contribute to hiring and organizational growth.

Experience in instrumentation or control systems for complex scientific or industrial equipment.
Soldering/Rework experience for quick debug efforts
Experience working in a regulated or safety-critical environment (e.g., aerospace, medical, or high-voltage systems).
Hands-on experience with firmware development or embedded systems is a plus.
