Job Description

NOTE: This job position is not open to candidates requiring a H-1B visa for work in the US. If you require a H-1B visa to work in the US, please do not apply.

Arroyo Instruments , a San Luis Obispo-based electronics manufacturer, is looking for an entrepreneurial electrical (electronics) engineer to join the Arroyo Instruments team. Graduates with degrees in Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering interested in working on electrical and firmware designs for microprocessor-controlled precision power supplies are encouraged to apply. We are collecting resumes for interviews that will start in mid-April.

For more than 20 years, Arroyo Instruments has provided precision laser and thermal control systems that are used throughout the photonics industry in research, academic, and commercial applications. Arroyo Instruments' products have been used to test Mars rovers, verify lasers for the Laser Interferometer Space Array (LISA), and used by major research universities and national laboratories around the world.

As part of a small, customer-oriented engineering team, this position will involve you in a wide range of activities. While product development will be the primary focus, as a small company, you will also participate in the improvement of our in-house calibration systems, be a part of developing customer applications, providing world-class customer support, and other aspects of company operations.

Product development is focused on smart power supplies, temperature controllers, and related instrumentation. Primary development involves working with ARM-based microprocessors, ADCs, DACs, and other digital and analog circuits as part of the design of very high precision instrumentation. You will touch a broad range of designs, both past, current, and future, and be part of a small team leading the future design efforts of the company.

Principle responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Design of digital and analog circuits
• Bring-up and testing of new designs
• Understanding of control systems concepts (e.g, PID, feedback and feed-forward, analog and digital sensor inputs)
• Performance verification using high precision lab equipment including meters, oscilloscopes, thermal chambers, and other laboratory equipment.
• Research and design testing of analog and digital concepts for ongoing product improvement
• Microprocessor firmware development using C and C++
• In-house calibration instrumentation development
• Supporting customer applications via email and phone

Minimum requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or computer engineering, or equivalent work experience
• C or C++ programming experience in an embedded system environment with preemptive, multitasking real-time operating systems
• Experience in digital and analog circuit design through relevant work experience or university coursework
• Proficiency in understanding schematics and understanding analog and digital circuitry
• Proficiency in operating common lab equipment, such as oscilloscopes, meters, and power supplies.
• Experience in digital design concepts such as microprocessor programming and low-level communication interfaces such as I2C and SPI
• Strong verbal and written skills

Experience developing products for test and measurement applications a major plus (i.e., control and measurement instruments such as DMMs, power supplies, and other digitally controlled analog-type instrumentation).

Other skills considered valuable, but not required:

• Developing power supplies
• Developing test and measurement applications

This position will work alongside an existing senior embedded systems engineer and electrical engineer. This position is expected to take technical leadership of the electrical engineering activities within Arroyo Instruments.

This is a full-time, exempt position, and is an on-site role. Compensation is dependent on experience and includes benefits.

Please do not apply for this position if you do not have the minimum required experience and abilities.
