Systems Engineer - San Jose, CA

Objective:
We are looking for a person to conceive, design and prototype input and interface devices (e.g. mice, joysticks, touchscreens) for mobile electronics. This will require a broad set of technical skills, combined with creativity and the ability to rapidly prototype and test concepts.

Job Deliverables
The Ideal Candidate will be able to begin with a clean sheet of paper and build an electrical sensory system to acquire, process and report data to host. The system will require the candidate to:
- Build an analog sensing circuit that acquires raw data from an array of electrodes.
- Convert raw analog input to digital data and processes it using filters and algorithms and makes a decision if a sensory event has taken place
- Report sensory status to a host device

- PCB design
- Familiar with basic measurement techniques (Logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, function generators, etc.) and signal analysis
- Comfortable with electro-mechanical design
- Board level troubleshooting and testing
- System level ESD, EMI analysis and testing
- Familiar with embedded communication protocols like I2C, SPI a plus
- Human/machine interaction experience a plus
