Senior Hardware Engineer (EE)

Join our fast-paced and passionate team as a Senior Hardware Engineer (EE). As we scale, you will be instrumental in building our foundation from the ground up. We're looking for a senior hardware engineer who can take an idea from a rough concept to a working board and who enjoys switching between very different projects. You'll own schematic capture and PCB layout, everything from basic mixed signal control boards to RF and high-speed designs. Lead projects from kickoff through prototype and into production.

What You'll Do

Lead hardware projects end-to-end, from requirements and architecture through prototype bring-up and release to production.

• Create schematics and multilayer PCB layouts for mixed-signal, RF, and high-speed digital designs.
• Design controlled-impedance and high-speed interfaces, including stackup planning and signal integrity.
• Serve as the primary technical contact for clients: scope work, run design reviews, and explain tradeoffs.
• Bring up and debug boards in the lab with oscilloscopes, spectrum and network analyzers, and other test equipment.
• Work with our team on DFM/DFT so designs build cleanly the first time.
• Manage several projects at once and adapt as priorities shift.

• This position requires access to export-controlled information. Employment is contingent upon the applicant being a U.S. person as defined by 8 U.S.C. § 1324b(a)(3).

Experience:

• 5–8 years of hands-on hardware design experience.
• A BSEE, a BSCpE, or equivalent experience.

Skills:

• Strong schematic and PCB layout skills in Altium Designer.
• Hands-on RF and/or high-speed layout experience, including impedance control, grounding, and signal integrity.
• A track record of owning designs from concept through production.
• Comfort working directly with internal and external customers and explaining technical decisions clearly.
• Self-direction and a genuine enjoyment of variety.
• Microwave or mmWave PCB design experience (20+ GHz).
• Experience with FPGA’s
• Background in defense, aerospace, or medical products, and familiarity with IPC standards.
• Prior experience at a design consultancy or product development firm.

The expected annual salary range for this position is $125,000-$175,000.

As a full-time employee, you will be eligible for Monarch’s comprehensive benefits package, which includes:

• Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance
• Fidelity 401(k) plan with 4% employer matching
• 20 paid time off (PTO) days per year
