Apprentice Prototype Build Engineer Jobs in Arizona

Your Impact 
As an Electrical Engineer II on Axon's Video Electrical Engineering team, you will be a key hands-on contributor to the design and delivery of next-generation video hardware. You will own the detailed design, bring-up, validation, and debug of key circuits and subsystems, working closely with senior electrical engineers and cross-functional partners to translate product and architecture goals into robust, manufacturable hardware. Your technical skill, curiosity, and execution will directly contribute to the performance, reliability, and quality of products used every day in the field.
What You'll Do

• Design and develop high-quality embedded electronic circuits and subsystems for Axon's video products, wired and wireless devices, and low-power accessories.
• Own detailed design and implementation of mixed-signal hardware blocks in collaboration with senior electrical engineers and cross-functional partners.
• Contribute to subsystem architecture and hardware design decisions, helping translate system requirements into practical circuit implementations.
• Create embedded mixed-signal schematics in OrCAD, integrating components such as application processors, memory, high-speed digital interfaces, RF transceivers, power supplies, battery charging systems, audio, and sensors.
• Work closely with PCB design engineers to define requirements, review layouts, and improve implementation quality for dense, high-performance embedded boards.
• Personally bring up, characterize, debug, and validate circuits and systems using lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, power supplies, multimeters, and custom test setups.
• Analyze test data, identify root causes, and drive corrective actions to improve performance, robustness, and reliability.
• Improve designs through simulation, bench measurement, and iterative development to meet product, system, and regulatory requirements.
• Develop and maintain BOMs, design documentation, test plans, and release materials needed to support development and manufacturing.
• Support design verification, manufacturing bring-up, and issue resolution through prototype, validation, and production phase.
• Contribute to design reviews, technical problem solving, and knowledge sharing across the team.

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or similar engineering discipline.
• 4+ years of industry experience designing embedded electronics, with solid depth in high-speed, high-density, portable, battery-powered products.
• Demonstrated experience owning and delivering hardware circuits or subsystems within complex embedded products.
• Hands-on experience with embedded mixed-signal hardware design involving several of the following areas: application processors or microcontrollers, image sensors, memory subsystems, power delivery, battery charging, audio, sensors, wired interfaces, and wireless integration.
• Strong hands-on proficiency in board bring-up, characterization, troubleshooting, and debug using laboratory tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, power supplies, multimeters, and custom jigs.
• Experience designing schematics, selecting components, developing BOMs, and supporting hardware integration using industry-standard tools; experience with Cadence/OrCAD is preferred.
• Experience working with PCB design engineers to support layout definition, review implementation quality, and help drive successful multilayer HDI rigid, flex, or rigid-flex board designs.
• Good understanding of power system design, including point-of-load regulators, PMIC integration, power trees, power measurement, and battery-powered design considerations.
• Experience with high-speed interfaces and dense embedded hardware design, including awareness of layout, signal integrity, and implementation considerations.
• Experience supporting product development through prototype build, validation, manufacturing bring-up, and issue resolution.
• Familiarity with designing electronics to meet regulatory requirements such as FCC, CE, IEC, or similar standards.
• Independent contributor who works effectively with senior engineers and cross-functional teams to deliver results in a fast-paced product development environment.
• Strong documentation, analysis, communication, and collaboration skills.

• Competitive salary and 401k with employer match
• Discretionary paid time off
• Paid parental leave for all
• Medical, Dental, Vision plans
• Fitness Programs
• Emotional & Mental Wellness support
• Learning & Development programs
• Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)
• And yes, we have snacks in our offices
