About Diode

Diode works with cutting-edge AI to design and manufacture custom printed circuit boards (PCBs). As AI streamlines custom PCB design, a far broader array of hardware products will become viable, shifting the core engineering challenge toward rapid, reliable, high-mix assembly. We’re building toward this future where more teams develop hardware tailored to specific needs, without the time and complexity that have historically made custom electronics difficult to justify.

Our platform combines AI board design, DFM manufacturing techniques, sourcing and tracking part availability, and more to take boards from concept to assembled hardware in days instead of months. We work on electronics ranging from robotics and aerospace to medical technology and consumer devices, with designs ranging from power electronics to high-density interconnect boards.

Our team has shipped hardware at Apple, Tesla, Anduril, and other companies.

About the Role

As an Electrical Engineer at Diode, you’ll design custom PCBs and help improve the tools used to build them on our own SMT line. This work includes interfacing with customers to help architect and engineer their electrical systems and directly managing core customer relationships.

The work spans a variety of PCB development, ranging from simpler boards to power electronics and high-speed designs. You’ll work closely with our software team to connect practical hardware requirements with a faster, AI-forward path from design to production. This requires balancing maximize line efficiency with hands-on electrical engineering expertise where needed.

What You’ll Do

• Design everything from power electronics, low power digital, compute, and analog/rf boards.

• Use AI-assisted, code-first workflows to develop circuit-board designs.

• Incorporate manufacturability and production requirements into design decisions and work on machine configurations on the production line.

• Partner with software engineers to improve the tools and workflows used by our electrical engineering team.

• Manual testing and validation of assembled boards.

What You’ll Bring

• 3+ years of relevant electrical engineering experience.

• Experience designing PCBs with tools such as Altium or OrCAD.
