Job Description
Cepton (Nasdaq: CPTN), a leading intelligent lidar solution provider, is seeking a Senior Electrical Design Engineer who is passionate about solving challenges to join us. You'll work in a dynamic, cross-functional, collaborative work environment and design and validate high-speed electronics subsystems for LiDAR product development. You will also support new product introductions to high-volume manufacturing processes to support automotive and non-automotive customers.
Here at Cepton, we use technology to make some difficult problems become easy and some impossible tasks become feasible. We value one's ability to learn more than the knowledge one has acquired in the past. We like people who strive to solve a problem in new and creative ways instead of only seeking conventional wisdom; we enjoy solving hard problems together. As we are at the cutting edge of technological advancement, join us if you are willing to work with like-minded people to face the challenges posed by the new era of technology together.
What You Will Do:
  • Design board-level solutions consisting of mixed-signal circuitry with high-speed ADC, FPGAs, memory, high-speed LVDS, SPI, clocking, PLL, MCU, Ethernet PHY, I2C, etc.
  • Be responsible for the design, starting with concept and architecture, followed by schematic design and layout, fabrication and assembly with coordination and kitting with the assembly house, and final testing and integration.
  • Lead the PCB schematic and layout design with OrCAD and Allegro. Responsible for running circuitry simulation with PSPICE or other simulation tools.
  • Who You Are:
  • A bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent with 8+ years of working experience in high-speed, mixed-circuit board-level design containing ADCs, FPGAs, & MCUs. OR a Master/Ph.D. plus 3+ years of working experience in the field.
  • Must be proficient in using all necessary testing and measurement tools and techniques at or above 1 GHz.
  • Able to work with the manufacturer and supplier to support volume ramp and PCB quality control.
  • Experience with FW is a plus; experience with the ASIC development cycle is a big plus but not necessary.
  • A good and reliable team player. Highly self-motivated, can continually strive for excellence, and can thrive under pressure.
  • What We Will Offer:
  • Opportunities to work with strong industry leaders and opportunities to relocate to Silicon Valley.
  • Competitive compensation package, including stock.
  • Comprehensive employee benefits program, including medical, dental, vision, life, disability, and more.
  • Paid time off and paid holidays
  • Bonus Program eligibility.
  • 401k, FSA or HSA.
  • Location:
  • Cepton Headquarters – San Jose, CA
  • Some local on-site visits to key customers.
  • Travel to regional customer sites and to support trade shows & conferences if needed.
  • Get the Saturday tech briefing
