Electrical Engineer
Merge Labs, San Francisco Bay Area
The role
We are seeking a Principal/Staff Electrical Engineer to own the architecture, design, validation, and productization of our core electronics systems—and to build the electrical instrumentation that makes our science faster and more reproducible. You will work across mixed-signal design, power, high-speed digital, ASIC/FPGA integration, automated test, and manufacturing transfer. In parallel, you will work directly with scientists and platform engineers to replace fragile bench setups with calibrated, reusable electronics, characterization rigs, trigger/clock systems, test fixtures, and automated validation workflows.
The goal is not simply to help debug experiments; it is to engineer away recurring setup and measurement work so scientists get meaningful time back while confidence in the data improves. You will own the full electronics lifecycle, manage critical vendor and CM relationships, and set the standard for electrical engineering excellence at Merge.
