About us:

MicroVision is at the forefront of driving the global adoption of innovative perception solutions, with the goal of making mobility and autonomy safer. Our engineering excellence, based in Washington State, Washington D.C., Hamburg, Germany and Orlando, Florida, enables us to develop and supply integrated lidar hardware and perception software solutions. Our proprietary technologies enhance safety and automation across various industrial applications, including robotics, automated warehouses, and agriculture, and are instrumental in the development of autonomous systems. MicroVision’s core technology, initially developed for the automotive industry, continues to accelerate advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving. Building on our history of providing technology to the military segment, our target offerings include semi- and fully autonomous airborne and terrestrial sensor systems. With our solid-state lidar technologies, encompassing FMCW and MEMS-based long-range lidar and flash-based short-range lidar, integrated with our onboard perception software, MicroVision possesses the expertise to deliver safe mobility at the speed of life.

To strengthen our team at the Orlando location, we are looking for a Sr. Staff Electrical Engineer. As a key member of MicroVision's Hardware Design Engineering team, you will collaborate with various technical teams in the company to design and take into production market defining Automotive LiDAR product.

Summary:

In this role you will be a technical leader responsible for driving the full product development lifecycle of highly complex circuit boards and subsystems for automotive LiDAR systems. This role owns critical electrical architecture decisions, leads complex technical efforts across multiple programs, and sets best practices for hardware development, validation, and sustainment.

The Staff Electrical Engineer is expected to operate with a high degree of autonomy, provide deep technical mentorship, proactively identify and mitigate risk, and serve as a go-to expert for board-level electrical design and system integration. This position works closely with cross-functional and external partners to ensure delivery of robust, scalable, and production-ready hardware solutions.

Your responsibilities:

  • Lead the electrical architecture, design, and development of complex circuit boards and electrical subsystems for automotive LiDAR products from concept through production and sustainment
  • Own system-level and board-level design decisions, including partitioning, interfaces, power architecture, and tradeoff analysis across performance, cost, reliability, and manufacturability
  • Serve as a technical authority for mixed-signal, power, control, and high-speed interface circuits
  • Provide technical leadership across multiple programs or product variants, ensuring consistency, reuse, and continuous improvement of electrical designs
  • Lead cross-functional technical discussions with mechanical, firmware, systems, optics, manufacturing, test, quality, and supply chain teams to drive successful product integration
  • Drive hardware bring-up, debugging, validation, and characterization at both board and system levels, including complex or ambiguous failure modes
  • Define, review, and approve comprehensive test strategies and validation plans to ensure performance, reliability, and compliance requirements are met
  • Lead structured root cause investigations for complex design, integration, manufacturing, and field issues; develop and drive corrective and preventive actions
  • Champion design for manufacturability (DFM), design for test (DFT), design for reliability (DFR), and cost optimization throughout the product lifecycle
  • Conduct and lead thorough schematic, design, and layout reviews, ensuring adherence to electrical best practices including SI/PI, EMI/ESD, grounding, and thermal considerations
  • Establish and maintain high-quality technical documentation, including design specifications, architectural descriptions, trade studies, test reports, and release artifacts
  • Provide guidance and mentorship to Staff and Senior Engineers, raising the technical bar and promoting hardware development best practices
  • Support supplier and contract manufacturer engagement, including technical reviews, yield improvement initiatives, component selection strategy, and obsolescence management
  • Actively contribute to technical roadmap planning, risk assessment, and long-term platform strategy

Our Required Skills and Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
  • 12+ years of experience in electrical hardware development with deep expertise in board-level design and product development
  • Demonstrated success leading complex electrical designs through multiple product lifecycles, from early concept through high-volume production and sustainment
  • Expert-level experience with schematic capture, circuit analysis, component selection, and PCB development processes
  • Advanced hands-on laboratory skills, including complex board bring-up, debugging, root cause analysis, and failure characterization
  • Extensive experience designing analog, digital, mixed-signal, and power circuits in high-reliability products
  • Deep understanding of hardware development best practices, risk management, design review rigor, and documentation discipline
  • Proven ability to independently drive technical direction while influencing and aligning cross-functional teams
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present complex technical concepts to diverse audiences

Preferred Qualifications

  • Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
  • Advanced experience with SI/PI analysis and simulation tools (e.g., HyperLynx or equivalent)
  • Experience architecting and supporting complex sensing, imaging, or electro‑optical systems
  • Expert-level proficiency with Altium Designer for schematic capture and PCB layout collaboration
  • Experience with environmental, reliability, EMI/EMC, and regulatory compliance testing
  • Strong familiarity with automotive product development processes, functional safety considerations, and relevant standards
  • Experience supporting global manufacturing operations, production ramps, and long-term field sustainment
  • History of technical mentorship, design ownership, and cross-program leadership
