About Paladin

Paladin is revolutionizing emergency response by deploying autonomous drones to 911 calls. Our product, the EXT, extends autonomy and cellular connectivity to third-party drones, all through a unified software interface. Paladin aims to integrate its life-saving technology into cities worldwide within the next decade.

Role Description

We seek a highly skilled Electronics Engineer with experience in high-speed signal bring-up to join our innovative team in a full-time hybrid role based in Houston, TX. You will be instrumental in designing and optimizing the high-performance electrical systems that power our emergency response drones. This includes ensuring signal integrity, rapid bring-up of high-speed interfaces, and advancing the overall electronics architecture of our systems.

This role offers the chance to develop cutting-edge technology, refine processes for real-world applications, and contribute directly to a mission that saves lives. You’ll collaborate closely with hardware, firmware, and manufacturing teams to deliver innovative, reliable solutions for drones operating in high-pressure emergencies.

Responsibilities

  • Design, test, and validate high-speed signal interfaces (e.g., PCIe, USB, Ethernet).
  • Perform signal integrity analysis, including simulation and measurement of transmission lines.
  • Debug and resolve issues with high-speed signaling during PCB bring-up, ensuring robust operation across temperature and usage conditions.
  • Design and optimize PCBs for high-speed digital and mixed-signal circuits.
  • Perform schematic capture and layout design using industry-standard tools (e.g., Altium Designer).
  • Collaborate with the mechanical engineering team to optimize PCB form factor and thermal management.
  • Conduct hands-on debugging using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other diagnostic tools.
  • Develop and execute validation plans for high-speed interfaces and related components.
  • Work closely with firmware and embedded systems teams to ensure seamless integration between hardware and software.
  • Source and liaise with manufacturers to ensure high-quality production of PCBs.
  • Support production processes, including quality control and compliance testing.
  • Drive advancements in electronics architecture, focusing on reliability, scalability, and cost-efficiency.
  • Stay current with trends in high-speed digital design and emerging technologies, applying insights to improve Paladin's products.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • Minimum of 3 years in electronics engineering, with experience in high-speed signal design and bring-up.
  • Strong understanding of signal integrity principles, including crosstalk, impedance matching, and reflection mitigation.
  • Proven experience delivering successful PCB bring-ups, particularly for systems with high-speed interfaces.
  • Expertise in PCB design tools like Altium Designer.
  • Experience with signal integrity analysis simulation tools.
  • Skilled in using oscilloscopes, TDRs, and logic analyzers for signal debugging and validation.
  • Strong understanding of embedded systems and their interaction with high-speed hardware.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills with a proactive approach to debugging complex systems.
  • Ability to work effectively both independently and in cross-functional teams.
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Familiarity with LTE, Wi-Fi, or other wireless communication systems.
  • Knowledge of electronic regulatory compliance standards (e.g., FCC, CE).
  • Experience with drone or robotics hardware is a plus.
