At Valve, electrical engineers deliver world class hardware products, such as Steam Deck, Valve Index, and Steam Controller. Across the electrical engineering group, we contribute in a variety of ways:

Collaborate to define product goals

Conceive, design, evaluate, and produce novel gaming hardware

Work closely with contract manufacturers to prototype and produce hardware at scales from tens to millions of units

Electrical engineers at Valve have significant industry experience. We usually don’t hire recent graduates. Members of our team typically have the following skills:

Proven start-to-finish design skills with industry-standard CAD/EDA tools (Altium Designer experience strongly preferred), including schematic entry, PCB layout, component definition, and CAD library management

Hands-on electronics prototyping experience, including soldering and rework of fine-pitch SMT components

Strong lab skills, including the use of common test and measurement equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, etc.) to debug and characterize complex electronic circuits

Experience with embedded systems design and common digital communication interfaces (USB, SPI, I2C)

Experience working directly on-site with manufacturing partners

A proven track record of designing and shipping high-volume consumer electronics products

Experience in design for manufacture and design for test (DFM/DFT) of electronic devices

Ability to think and work across a variety of subject areas

Bachelor's degree (or equivalent work experience) in electrical engineering or a related field

Our team includes individuals with expertise in the following areas:

Analog circuit design and simulation (e.g. SPICE)

Low-power design, including battery management and charging circuits for portable devices

RF/wireless circuit design, including design of antennas and for EMC

Firmware development for 8, 16, 32-bit microcontrollers (e.g. ARM)

High speed/HDI board design
