SUMMARY: The Senior Electrical Engineer is responsible for designing, developing, and supporting embedded hardware and firmware for connected electromechanical products. This role is responsible for mixed-signal circuit design, embedded firmware development in C, wireless connectivity integration (including BLE and LoRaWAN), and low-power system architecture. Working closely with mechanical engineering, manufacturing partners, and regulatory bodies, the Senior Electrical Engineer ensures designs are production-ready, compliant, and scalable from prototype through mass production while supporting customer requirements, certification efforts, and field issue resolution.
ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:- Design mixed signal embedded hardware for battery powered and line powered electromechanical products including sensing, motor control, and communications subsystems.
- Develop and debug embedded firmware in C for microcontroller-based systems supporting BLE, LoRaWAN, and other low power wireless platforms.
- Architect low power system designs optimized for multi-year battery life in connected sensing and dispensing applications.
- Support RF layout and antenna integration for embedded wireless devices, including BLE and LoRaWAN. Antenna tuning experience is a strong asset.
- Translate customer requirements into production ready electrical architectures suitable for high volume deployment in commercial environments such as healthcare, facilities infrastructure, and pest monitoring systems.
- Perform schematic capture, PCB layout guidance, and board bring up, including validation testing and root cause troubleshooting.
- Collaborate with mechanical engineering teams on electromechanical integration including motors, pumps, sensors, housings, and environmental constraints.
- Support product certification activities including FCC, CE, IC, UL, and other regulatory requirements for connected electronic devices.
- Work closely with manufacturing partners to ensure designs meet cost, reliability, and scalability targets using DFM and DFA principles.
- Contribute to system level connectivity architecture including gateway integration, cloud interfaces, and mobile application interaction through defined APIs.
- Support transition from prototype to production, including validation builds, pilot runs, and engineering change implementation.
- Participate in customer technical discussions and provide engineering leadership during requirements definition, design reviews, and field issue resolution.
