The Elevator Pitch   Evolv is seeking a Principal Electrical Engineer, Analog & Sensor Systems to help shape the architecture and technical direction of next-generation sensor platforms deployed in complex, high-traffic, real-world environments.  This is a hands-on, high-impact individual contributor role for an engineer who thrives at the intersection of analog design, electromagnetics, mixed-signal systems, sensor architecture, and system integration. You will translate complex sensing concepts into robust, production-ready systems while helping define the technical path for future platforms.  You will work closely with a small, highly collaborative group of senior engineers to make critical architecture decisions, evaluate tradeoffs, reduce technical risk, and move early-stage concepts into scalable production designs. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys ambiguous, difficult technical problems and wants to see their work deployed at scale in the real world.  This is a technical ladder role with a clear growth path toward Distinguished Engineer and Technical Fellow-level impact.     What Success Looks Like:  Success in this role means taking complex sensing concepts and turning them into reliable, manufacturable, production-ready systems while raising the technical bar across architecture, execution, and engineering rigor. Within 90 days, you will:    Own key portions of the electrical architecture for a next-generation sensor platform  Drive early risk reduction through analysis, simulation, prototyping, and lab validation  Influence critical system-level decisions through clear, data-backed tradeoff analyses across performance, cost, reliability, and schedule  Deliver initial design contributions that materially advance the platform, such as schematics, interfaces, subsystem architecture, or sensing approach improvements  Within 12 months you will:   Lead development of a sensor platform from architecture definition through production release  Deliver designs that meet performance, cost, reliability, manufacturability, and scalability targets  Resolve complex bring-up, debugging, and validation challenges across electrical and cross-disciplinary systems  Raise the technical bar across the team through rigorous design reviews, strong documentation, mentorship, and clear engineering standards     Key Responsibilities  Develop novel approaches to sensors based on electromagnetics, and their integration into control systems  Own system-level electrical architecture for sensor platforms, including power, signal integrity, interfaces, grounding, and integration across subsystems  Lead technical investigations into new technologies, components, and architectures, including cost/performance tradeoff analyses  Drive clear, data-backed architectural decisions and align cross-functional teams around them  Serve as the final technical authority for critical design decisions and reviews  Design and review schematics, layouts, and system interfaces  Lead prototype bring-up, debugging, and validation in the lab  Define and execute test strategies to validate performance, robustness, and reliability  Support design for manufacturability, testability, and long-term support  Translate system-level requirements into actionable electrical designs  Collaborate with firmware and software engineers to define hardware/software interfaces and ensure system-level performance  Work closely with leadership to balance near-term execution with a longer-term technology roadmap  Set technical expectations and best practices across the EE team  Mentor senior and mid-level engineers through architecture discussions, reviews, and problem solving  Drive consistency in design rigor
