Electronics Engineer - Circuit & SensorPreferred Location: TorontoReports to: CTOThe Role: Electronics Engineer - Circuit & SensorYou'll design, integrate, and validate sensor interfaces and supporting electronics; from selection and signal conditioning through PCB design, calibration, and field verification - working closely with firmware, mechanical, and power teams.
What You'll Do- Design, prototype, and test electronic circuits for interfacing with a wide range of sensors (i.e., optical, environmental, geospatial, spectral, chemical, etc.).
- Evaluate and select appropriate sensors based on performance, accuracy, environmental conditions, and cost.
- Develop and implement signal conditioning, amplification, and filtering circuits for sensor outputs.
- Integrate sensors into embedded systems, ensuring compatibility with power systems, microcontrollers, ADCs, and communication interfaces to MIL-STDs and other relevant commercial and safety standards.
- Collaborate with firmware engineers to optimize data acquisition, calibration, and processing algorithms.
- Conduct validation and calibration testing to ensure sensor performance meets design requirements.
- Create detailed technical documentation, including schematics, PCB layouts, BOMs, installation instructions, operating guidelines, and test procedures/reports.
- Support production and troubleshooting activities, identifying and resolving hardware issues.
- Stay current with emerging sensor technologies, materials, and integration methods.
What You'll Bring- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.
- 5-7+ years of experience in electronic design and sensor system integration (or equivalent practical experience).
- Strong knowledge of analog and digital circuit design.
- Hands-on experience with common sensors (i.e., MEMS, optical, thermal, environmental, etc.).
- Proficiency with EDA tools (i.e., Altium Designer, KiCad, OrCAD) and their integration with mechanical design tools (i.e., SolidWorks, etc.).
- Experience with embedded systems and microcontrollers (i.e., STM32, ESP32, AVR, ARM Cortex, NVIDIA, etc.).
- Experience in PCB design, prototyping, and manufacturing processes.
- Understanding of noise reduction, EMI/EMC principles, and signal integrity.
- Experience with lab instruments (i.e., oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers, etc.).
- Experience with firmware development in Python for sensor interfacing and testing.
