About Tacit<\/p>\n
We are an early-stage, deep tech startup based in San Francisco, developing innovative hardware that rethinks human-computer interaction. We are backed by General Catalyst, Khosla Ventures, and Greylock Partners, with a founding team from Stanford, BrainGate, Oculus, and Tesla. While we can\u2019t reveal too much just yet, our team is tackling cutting-edge engineering challenges to bring revolutionary products to life.<\/p>\n
About the role
We\u2019re looking for a\u00a0Senior Electrical Engineer\u00a0to help architect, design, and ship next-generation\u00a0neurotech hardware products. As a key member of our growing hardware team, you will own major portions of the electrical system from early architecture through production and play a critical role in bringing complex consumer electronics to life.<\/p>\n
What you’ll do
Electrical System Architecture & Product Development<\/p>\n
Lead electrical architecture and board-level design for mixed-signal consumer hardware systems from concept through production.
Own schematic design and guide development through\u00a0EVT, DVT, PVT, and mass production.
Define system partitioning, interfaces, and component selection across compute, sensors, connectivity, and power subsystems.
Drive rigorous\u00a0design reviews\u00a0and help establish strong electrical design and manufacturing standards.
Collaborate closely with mechanical, firmware, and software teams to optimize\u00a0performance, size, thermal behavior, and reliability.
Operate effectively in a startup environment where engineers own large portions of the hardware stack.
High-Speed & High-Density Hardware Design<\/p>\n
Design\u00a0high-density, multi-layer PCBAs\u00a0using HDI techniques, fine-pitch BGAs, and controlled-impedance routing.
Implement high-speed digital interfaces such as\u00a0USB, Quad-SPI, MIPI, CSI\/DSI, DDR, or similar buses.
Design analog and mixed-signal circuits including\u00a0amplifiers, filters, sensor interfaces, and ADC\/DAC connections.
Optimize PCB layout for\u00a0signal integrity, power integrity, and low-noise performance.
Power Electronics & Battery Systems<\/p>\n
Define\u00a0system-level power architecture\u00a0for battery-powered consumer and wearable devices.
Design and integrate\u00a0high-efficiency DC-DC converters\u00a0(buck, boost, and related architectures).
Optimize\u00a0power consumption, battery runtime, and quiescent current\u00a0across active and standby modes.
Design and integrate\u00a0battery charging and power management solutions\u00a0for Li-ion\/Li-poly systems.
Consider\u00a0thermal constraints and power density\u00a0in compact or sealed wearable devices.
Validation, Bring-Up & Debug<\/p>\n
Lead\u00a0board bring-up and electrical debugging\u00a0across analog, digital, and power domains.
Use advanced lab instrumentation including\u00a0oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and high-speed probes.
Define and execute validation plans including\u00a0signal integrity, power integrity, and environmental testing.
Perform\u00a0root-cause analysis\u00a0and resolve hardware issues discovered during development or production.
Manufacturing & Production (DFM \/ DFT)<\/p>\n
Design hardware with strong\u00a0Design for Manufacturing (DFM)\u00a0and\u00a0Design for Test (DFT)\u00a0principles.
Support\u00a0EVT, DVT, and PVT builds\u00a0and ramp hardware to mass production.
Work with\u00a0contract manufacturers and suppliers\u00a0to resolve manufacturing and yield issues.
Develop or support\u00a0manufacturing test infrastructure, including programming, calibration, and test fixtures.
Requisiti
5+ years\u00a0of experience in electrical or hardware engineering.
Experience shipping at least one\u00a0consumer electronics product, preferably compact or wearable devices..
Strong experience designing\u00a0high-density, multi-layer PCBs\u00a0with controlled impedance and fine-pitch components.
Solid understanding of\u00a0analog and mixed-signal circuit design.
Experience implementing\u00a0system power architecture for battery-powered products.
Experience designing or integrating\u00a0DC-DC converters and power management circuits.
Experience with\u00a0high-speed interfaces\u00a0such as USB, Quad-SPI, MIPI, DDR, or similar.
Strong hands-on experience with\u00a0board bring-up, debugging, and lab validation.
Understanding of\u00a0signal integrity and power integrity\u00a0in high-density electronic systems.
Experience working\u00a0cross-functionally in fast-paced product development environments.
Strong candidates may have
Experience designing\u00a0wearable or body-worn devices\u00a0with tight power, size, and thermal constraints.
Strong experience with\u00a0Altium Designer\u00a0or equivalent PCB tools.
Experience supporting\u00a0EVT, DVT, and PVT builds\u00a0and ramping hardware to mass production.
Experience designing\u00a0manufacturing test fixtures or automated test systems.
