Responsibilities:
  • Own delivery of electrical subsystems from design through validation.
  • Generate schematics, PCB layouts, Bills-Of-Materials, and design documentation.
  • Execute hardware development lifecycle activities, including prototyping and testing.
  • Evaluate design tradeoffs to balance performance, cost, and complexity within the subsystem scope.
  • Perform internal product testing and evaluate products for compliance with design criteria.
  • Product validation and verification testing to ensure the product meets required standards (FCC, CE, CSA, UL/cUL, ATEX) and revise designs as needed.
  • Integrate electrical subsystems with firmware, sensors, and mechanical systems to ensure system-level performance.
  • Apply design principles, including manufacturability, reliability, and cost optimization, to develop robust solutions.
  • Identify technical risks and issues early and drive them to resolution.
  • Conduct analysis to find the root cause of hardware or low-level software design issues in existing or new products and generate detailed reports to document the findings and resolutions.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including firmware, mechanical, and manufacturing.
  • Contribute to technical design decisions within the assigned subsystem scope.

Requirements and Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or related field, or equivalent experience.

  • Experience designing embedded electronic systems and PCB-based hardware, including schematics and layout.
  • Understanding the hardware development lifecycle, including design, prototyping, validation, and support.
  • Experience hardware testing, debugging, and root cause analysis.
  • Familiarity with embedded systems, microcontrollers, and hardware/software interfaces.
  • Experience integrating electrical subsystems with firmware, sensors, and mechanical systems.
  • Understanding design principles, including manufacturability, reliability, and cost optimization.
  • Awareness of regulatory and compliance considerations for electronic systems.
  • Strong problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to diagnose and resolve technical issues within the scope.
  • Ability to evaluate design tradeoffs and make effective engineering decisions.
  • Ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment.
  • Strong communication skills and willingness to learn

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with PCB design and electronic design tools (e.g., Altium, Eplan, or similar)
  • Experience with hardware validation, test equipment, and debugging tools.
  • Experience with microcontroller-based systems and embedded architecture.
  • Familiarity with communication interfaces (e.g., CAN, SPI, USB, Ethernet).
  • Experience with wireless-enabled systems (e.g., LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth).
  • Experience with EMI/EMC, ESD, and signal integrity considerations.
  • Experience supporting products through regulatory certification (UL, FCC, CSA, ATEX).
  • Experience working in industrial or manufacturing environments
  • Experience with Agile project management tools such as Jira and Confluence.
