Careers

Highland always wants to meet people with a talent and passion for electronic design. If you're interested in analog circuit and PCB design, low noise signal conditioning, high-speed time-domain electronics, free-space and fiber photonics, signals-and-systems, filtering, control, analog and DSP crunching, interfacing with physics, semiconductor fabrication, or scientific instrumentation for aerospace and industrial applications, we'd love to hear from you.

To apply for open positions, please send resume, schematics, or any other original electronic design demonstrations to careers@highlandtechnology.com. Experience is always appreciated, but there are no minimal requirements. Recent graduates/interns should have a history of self-motivated projects and coursework in circuit theory, electromagnetics, S+S, and control theory.
