What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Electrical Engineer position at PassiveLogic?
Are you driven to engineer a sustainable future? Do you possess deep electrical engineering skills at the intersection of power supply, analog, and high-speed digital design? If you want to help build the foundational technology that will redefine the world's largest industry, the built environment, this is the position for you.
About PassiveLogic
PassiveLogic is the first fully autonomous platform for buildings. We've reinvented the fundamental principles of automation to democratize technology, optimize buildings, and reduce the world's carbon footprint. We are a team of technologists, engineers, and creatives dedicated to making a sustainable impact through real-world solutions.
We are looking for team members who have a passion for technology and want to work on cutting-edge problems with real-world solutions. Our culture is built on bringing together the most talented engineers, thinkers, and creatives-backed by the world's leading investors-working together to make the future a reality.
About the Role
This is a career-defining opportunity to play a crucial role in a hyper-scale AI company that is transforming the future of autonomous systems, energy, and the built environment.
For our next Electrical Engineer, we're looking for someone who loves to crack the kinds of problems other engineers avoid, who thrives on responsibility and ownership, and who wants to help define the technology that will reshape the built environment.
In this role, you will be one of the owners of the electronics for the PassiveLogic ecosystem, including developing a wide range of compute, automation, sensor, and wireless product solutions. Projects here are diverse and require a wide array of expertise ranging from compute engines to environmental sensors, offline power supplies, industrial networking, and wireless communications.
What you'll do
Power Design: Own DCDC power supply design (bonus points if you know ACDC).
Analog Mastery: Develop and validate analog circuitry that interfaces smoothly with the Sense Family, the Hive, and the rest of the PassiveLogic ecosystem.
High-Speed Digital: Design and lay out high-speed digital circuits that keep up with our autonomous platform's computational demands.
System Thinking: Collaborate across mechanical, embedded, and software teams to deliver robust, integrated solutions.
Hands-On Prototyping: Bring up boards, debug, and iterate quickly-from whiteboard sketches to oscilloscopes in the lab.
What you'll bring
If your experience does not meet all our posted requirements below, we'd still love to hear from you. We are looking for practitioners who are passionate about understanding people, committed to lifelong learning, and driven by the love of what they do. If that's you, please apply!
