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:

• Develop the console subsystem (similar to SDR architecture) that integrates the FPGA, microcontroller, and peripherals (DACs, ADCs, amplifiers, and communication protocols).
• Collaborate with FPGA and embedded teams to define and validate console functionality.
• Design analog circuits (filters, amplifiers) to meet SNR, stability, and accuracy targets.
• Support technical investigations on pathfinding projects.

You might be right for this role if:

• Communicate complex ideas clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Effectively work with vendors and contractors on development, builds, and troubleshooting.
• Like to mentor junior engineers and engage in knowledge sharing.
• Have extensive experience with FPGAs, microcontrollers, and digital data flow.
