Job Description:

About Us. -Bright Silicon Technologies is pioneering the state-of-the-art in solid-state optical beam-control. -Our technology platform, the Light-field Directing Array (LDA), offers a unique combination of speed, precision, stability, and digital flexibility for the exquisite control of light. -It has the potential to revolutionize optical system markets such as laser communication terminals for terrestrial and satellite mesh networks, LiDAR for autonomous cars and drones, 3D printing of metals, and national security applications. -Our work involves development of MEMS and control electronic core technologies, developing precision fabrication machines, and working with customers to develop LDA-enabled systems. -
Bright Silicon Technologies offer market-competitive salaries as well as equity incentives. -Bright is an engineer-led company that values creativity and efficiency with a long-term work/life balance. -If you're a talented "take on anything" expert in your field and ready to have a leading role in the future of an exciting technology and valuable company, come join us.
Responsibilities. -The Electrical Engineering Director will lead:

• Product Design and Qualification: Managing custom mixed-signal ASIC, embedded architecture, supporting circuit, and custom PCB design, fabrication, and testing (60%).
• Precision Machine Control Design and Prototyping: Development of custom mechatronics with micron-scale precision to perform critical fabrication steps, eventually scaling to an industrial process line (20%).
• Application Integration: Working with our customers and sponsors to identify product needs, and explore, model, and prototype novel applications of the LDA (20%). - -
  Your role will report to the CTO and work closely with the Bright technical team, as well as specialty engineering firms and vendors where relationship management is critical. -This is a hybrid position, with predominately remote work initially but with increasing on-site time for precision machine control development and testing. -Remote hires will be considered, but relocation or regular travel to the San Francisco East Bay area will be expected starting in 2023. - -
  Qualifications. -The ideal candidate will have with the following credentials, skills, and experience:
  • An advanced degree, preferably a PhD, in Electrical Engineering.
  • Effective communicator and collaborator.
  • Fast learner and problem solver.
  • Product design and systems engineering thinking.
  • Experience with managing a matrixed, multi-disciplinary team of engineers.
  • Experience with mixed-signal circuit design, high-voltage circuit design (> 200V), embedded architectures, PCB design, and electronics packaging.
  • Familiarity with Mechatronics / Robotics, digital control systems, industrial automation, MatLAB coding, Simulink, and government sponsorship interactions.
  • US citizenship capable of obtaining a security clearance.
