Electrical Engineer

Snap Inc is a technology company. We believe the camera presents the greatest opportunity to improve the way people live and communicate. Snap contributes to human progress by empowering people to express themselves, live in the moment, learn about the world, and have fun together.

The Company operates Snapchat, a visual messaging app that enhances your relationships with friends, family, and the world, and Specs Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary dedicated to making computing more human, in addition to Bitmoji, Saturn, and other digital services.

Specs Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Snap Inc. dedicated to making computing more human. The company develops Specs, advanced eyewear that seamlessly integrates digital experiences into the physical world.

Specs feature see-through lenses that place digital objects directly into three-dimensional space, powered by Snap OS, a proprietary, context-aware operating system designed for natural interaction with your hands and voice.

Specs Inc. also provides Lens Studio, a full suite of advanced developer tools that powers immersive augmented reality experiences across Specs, Snapchat, and other services.

We’re looking for an Electrical Engineer to join the Brain-Computer Interface team at Snap Inc

What you’ll do:

• Design and develop electrical systems for wearable prototypes, from early architecture through implementation and validation
• Integrate sensors, analog front ends, power, clocks, communications, and embedded interfaces into compact wearable platforms
• Partner with remote hardware engineering teams to align on system integration, requirements, and technical tradeoffs.
• Support schematic capture, PCB design reviews, component selection, design-for-test, and hardware documentation
• Lead board bring-up and debug using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters, power supplies, and other laboratory equipment.
• Characterize signal quality, noise, interference, power behavior, and system performance in realistic wearable conditions
• Build test plans and automated or semi-automated validation workflows for prototype hardware.
• Collaborate with firmware and algorithms engineers to expose reliable sensor data and diagnose end-to-end system issues
• Work with mechanical and industrial design partners to package sensors, boards, connectors, and flexes within compact wearable form factors
• Translate experimental prototypes into robust designs suitable for repeated builds, field studies, and productization
• Communicate technical tradeoffs clearly through design reviews, documentation, test reports, and concise engineering updates

Knowledge, Skills & Abilities:

• Knowledge of analog and digital circuit design, power delivery, signal integrity, sensor interfaces, embedded hardware, and battery-operated systems
• Knowledge of EEG and biopotential signal acquisition, including low-noise analog front ends and signal integrity considerations
• Knowledge of signal processing fundamentals, including sampling, filtering, and spectral analysis
• Skill in using PCB layout and schematic capture tools such as Cadence Allegro, OrCAD Capture, or Altium Designer, as well as SPICE-based circuit simulation tools
• Skill in using laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters, and power supplies.
• Ability to plan and execute hardware characterization and validation, including signal quality, noise, interference, and power measurements
• Ability to isolate root causes across hardware, firmware, mechanical, and system-level interfaces
• Ability to work effectively in a cross-functional team and make technical tradeoffs in an evolving, early-stage environment
• Ability to communicate technical decisions and test results clearly in written and verbal form

Minimum Qualifications:

• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field, or equivalent years of experience
• 3+ years of experience in electrical or hardware engineering
• Experience taking electronic hardware from schematic through bring-up, characterization, and iteration
• Experience integrating analog and digital circuitry, power management, sensors, and embedded hardware interfaces within a larger system
• Experience analyzing and characterizing sensor signals using laboratory equipment, filtering, spectral analysis, and noise and interference measurements
• Experience collaborating across hardware, firmware, mechanical, and software disciplines to resolve system-level integration issues
• Fluency in English

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience developing and validating wearable electronics, sensor systems, or consumer electronics
