Job Description:
As an Electrical Engineer in Reality Labs, you will help create the next generation of Augmented Reality (AR) devices! We are looking for a motivated engineer that can work collaboratively with internal design teams and external production partners to deliver solutions for the design, assembly, and characterization of displays and related technology.
Job Responsibilities:
• Create and edit schematics and work with layout and component engineers to generate new PCBAs.
• Prototype and evaluate the performance of digital, analog, and power circuits in a lab environment.
• Run and participate in schematic and layout design reviews.
• Interface with flex, rigid-flex, or rigid PCA fabrication and assembly partners to resolve DFM/DFA issues and refine new processes.
• Partner with internal teams for integration, design validation, debug, and failure analysis of new and existing designs.
Required Skills:
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Experience in electrical assembly (printed circuit) design including architecture, component selection, DFM/DFA, schematic capture, and layout direction.
• Experience generating test, validation, and bring up plans.
• Fluency using lab equipment (oscilloscope, DMM, soldering iron, etc.) to bring up, control, and characterize new and existing designs.
Preferred Skills:
• Experience with Cadence OrCAD CIS/CIP and Altium.
• Knowledge of display and electro-optical components used in displays and their operation.
• In depth knowledge of flex, rigid-flex, and rigid assembly design rules and DFM.
• Experience writing Python scripts to interface with and control test hardware.

a category that they have a strong skill set
Good to have skills (Optional):
some background in firmware development or
Python script
RFPC
Able to communicate with fabrication team- handled feedback for at least 2 circuit boards
Typical Day in the Role:        
Currently (4 to 6 months) doing failure analysis- circuit boards that failed- working in the lab, working lab equipment,
Doing calculations to understand circuits, comparing results, Working with a manufacturer to correct
How will performance be measured:         
able to assign and hand off high level tasks- work with this manufacturer to handle identification , working through closure of the task, good communicator (little oversite)
NOT Aerospace or automotive only - but commercial (Amazon or Microsoft type company) - highly integrated embedded system - multiple PCB designs
