Physicist & Electrical Engineer
Summary Posted: May 31, 2026 Role Number: 200666012-0865 We are a growing physics team working at the intersection of cutting-edge research and real-world product impact. We are looking for an exceptional Physicist or Electrical Engineer to join us in assessing the feasibility of a groundbreaking, first-of-its-kind technology, one with the potential to reshape the industry. Description Define research topics and experimental strategies aligned with system and product requirements Design, build, and operate experimental and test setups to measure and characterize system performance Collect, analyze, and interpret experimental data, translating insights into technology capabilities and product specifications Investigate new methods, theories, and physical phenomena; apply existing knowledge to novel challenges and generate new understanding through rigorous experimentation Characterize material and system-level physical limits to inform design feasibility and define system requirements Develop and validate simulation models to support experimental and systems work Analyze and report results clearly to enable cross-functional teams to make informed design decisions Partner with multidisciplinary teams across hardware, software, and systems engineering to drive research from concept to product Responsibilities Identify loop holes and no-go’s in the product. Define research strategies, either experimental or theoretical, to remove or reduce the system risks.
