• Evaluate and document design outcomes and test results; present findings to design teams for review.
• Review product design requirements in relation to system objectives.
• Participate in schematic design of embedded mixed-signal circuits (OrCAD), integrating power supplies, microcontrollers, lighting and display drivers, memory (FLASH/EEPROM), regulators, batteries, high/low-speed interfaces (USB, UART, SPI, IC), RF transceivers, sensors, and analog/digital components.
• Contribute to PCB design implementations and inspections using Allegro layout tools.
• Engage in design reviews and inspections, offering constructive feedback while learning key design principles.
• Assess circuit performance and verify compliance with product and regulatory requirements.

What You Bring

• College senior majoring in Electrical or Computer Engineering.
• Strong academic performance with a solid engineering foundation.
• Ability to apply classroom knowledge to real-world problems through labs, internships, or projects.
• Knowledge of discrete analog and digital components (RLCs, transistors, diodes, LEDs, voltage regulators, microcontrollers, etc.).
• Experience designing or integrating circuits in one or more areas:
• Hands-on bench experience with oscilloscopes, power supplies, multimeters, etc.
• Ability to read and analyze component datasheets and technical documentation.
• Proficiency with documentation and presentation tools (Word, Excel, PowerPoint).
• Cultural alignment to Axon Company Values: https://global.axon.com/company/values

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience developing embedded hardware systems (capstone, internship, or equivalent) in a cross-functional team (EE/FW/ME).
• Schematic design experience using Cadence/OrCAD Capture or similar tools.
• Understanding of common power supply topologies (buck, boost, buck-boost, LDOs) and their trade-offs.
• Soldering experience for PCB population or component replacement during troubleshooting.
