Staff Electrical Engineer

The Basics

  • This is a full-time position.
  • This is a hybrid position. We’ll need you to come into our downtown Toronto office to support design bring-ups, development testing, and other in-person needs, but you won’t need to come in everyday.
  • Work hours are flexible, but meetings are typically scheduled between 9 am and 5 pm Eastern Standard Time.
  • The salary range for this position is $170,000 - $190,000 annually.
  • The hiring manager for this position is Patryk Laskowski, and you can see his Linkedin profile here.

In this role, you'll be expected to:

  • Own the development and maintenance of the main processor board, including its FPGA and processor, as well as the current driver board responsible for controlling currents to magnetic coils.
  • Develop and enhance current driver board architectures to control and correct the magnetic characteristics of the system.
  • Design analog circuits (filters, amplifiers) to meet SNR, stability, and accuracy targets.
  • Conduct thorough testing, debugging, and iterative improvements on all assigned components to meet performance and reliability standards.
  • Support technical investigations on pathfinding projects.

You might be right for this role if you:

  • Consistently make sound, independent decisions in dynamic, ambiguous environments.
  • Have a strong background in analog and digital design, with expertise in mixed-signal and front-end design.
  • Bring experience in SDR-style architecture design, working with technologies like FPGA, processors, SoC, DDR, and DAC/ADC.
  • Are skilled at managing contractors and vendors, ensuring external resources deliver high-quality results aligned with project goals.
  • Have a strong grasp of electrical first principles.

We collaborate with external partners from academia and industry to review and provide feedback on our work, ensuring scientific rigor and accountability. Internally, we promote psychological safety through regular check-ins with employees, anonymous surveys, and multiple avenues for reporting concerns, including an online reporting tool. These measures foster a supportive and open environment where employees feel safe to voice their concerns and contribute to the company’s success.
