Vista Clara is seeking a full-time Master’s or Ph.D. graduate with 2-15 years of experience in system-level electronics design to join our research and development team!
This is an opportunity for an experienced and motivated Research Electronics Engineer to bring electronics design expertise and leadership to a dynamic, high-tech company, performing innovative hardware design and development to advance nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technologies for groundwater investigations in variety of earth sciences and industries.
The Research Electronics Engineer will work from Vista Clara’s office in Mukilteo, Washington, with some domestic and international travel as needed.
Requirements

• Masters’s degree in Electrical Engineering or relevant field.
• 2-15 years of experience in the modeling, developing, and testing of analog electronics from the board level to the system level design.
• Solid experience in low-frequency RF electronics, digital control and communication electronics, high voltage power supplies, IGBT- and MOSFET-based power conversion modules, and related electronics.
• Experience designing new printed circuit board (PCB) assemblies using professional PCB layout software.
• Ability to independently manage complex engineering and project development tasks.
• Excellent verbal and written communications skills.
• Undertake some domestic and international travel.
