Electrical Engineer Systems Analysis Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Electrical Engineer (Systems Generalist)

About Paradromics

Brain-related illness is one of the last great frontiers in medicine, not because the brain is unknowable, but because it has been inaccessible. Paradromics is building a brain-computer interface (BCI) platform that records brain activity at the highest possible resolution: the individual neuron. AI algorithms then decode this massive amount of brain-data, enabling the seamless translation of thought into treatments. 

Our first clinical application, the Connexus® BCI, will help people who are unable to speak, due to ALS, spinal cord injuries and stroke, to communicate independently through digital devices. However, the capabilities of our BCI platform go far beyond our first application. With the brain in direct communication with digital devices, we can leverage technology to transform how we treat conditions ranging from sensory and motor deficits to untreatable mental illness.

The Role

The Electrical Engineer (Generalist) will own and support system-level electrical development across hardware, programmable logic, and mixed-signal domains. This role focuses on system integration, bring-up, debugging, and stabilization rather than solely PCB layout.

Working closely with cross-functional teams—including FPGA, firmware, mechanical, and test engineers—this person will drive hardware systems from prototype through validation and early production. The ideal candidate is comfortable operating across digital, analog, power, and signal integrity domains and thrives in fast-paced, multidisciplinary environments.

Responsibilities

• Lead system bring-up and stabilization across hardware and programmable logic platforms.
• Debug FPGA-based systems at both the board and system level, collaborating with digital design teams.
• Develop structured debug plans and execute root cause analysis across electrical, firmware, and system domains.
• Analyze and optimize digital system architecture including clocking schemes, reset strategies, high-speed data paths, and timing considerations.
• Evaluate and troubleshoot analog and mixed-signal subsystems including power regulation, grounding, EMI mitigation, and signal integrity.
• Support integration of subsystems involving wireless power transfer, RF signaling, or optical communication links.
• Develop Python-based tools for lab automation, instrument control, data capture, and validation workflows.
• Support system-level validation, characterization, and field testing activities.
• Contribute to technical trade studies and clearly communicate design trade-offs across teams.
• Maintain organized documentation, debug records, and validation reports throughout development.

Required Education

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Required Qualifications

• Demonstrated ownership of system bring-up and stabilization across hardware and programmable logic platforms.
• Strong experience debugging FPGA-based systems at the board and system level.
• Solid understanding of digital system architecture including clocking, resets, high-speed data paths, and timing constraints.
• Working knowledge of analog and mixed-signal fundamentals including power regulation, signal integrity, grounding, and EMI principles.
• Experience supporting or integrating systems involving wireless power transfer, RF signaling, or optical communication links.
• Proficiency in Python for test automation, lab control, data analysis, or validation infrastructure.
• Ability to develop structured debug plans and drive root cause analysis across multiple technical domains.
• Experience supporting system-level validation, field testing, or early production hardware.
• Strong ability to synthesize cross-domain findings and communicate technical trade-offs clearly.
• Comfort working in fast-paced hardware development environments with evolving requirements.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience collaborating closely with FPGA/RTL design teams.
• Exposure to regulated hardware environments (medical, aerospace, industrial, etc.).
• Familiarity with high-speed interfaces (e.g., SERDES-based links, DDR memory systems).
• Experience designing or supporting hardware test infrastructure.
• Background in multidisciplinary system integration efforts.

Paradromics is an Equal Opportunity Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin.
