If you are an electrical engineer who wants to escape the hyper-siloed, slow-moving corporate structures of massive conglomerates, we offer an environment where you can actually stretch your wings. We are a small, highly stable, and privately held manufacturer experiencing steady year-over-year market expansion. We specialize in designing and producing highly engineered, performance-critical electronic products used in demanding global applications. Because we keep our team lean, you will bypass multi-layered bureaucracy and gain immediate, direct visibility to executive leadership.

This is a true full-lifecycle engineering seat. You won't just be handed a tiny, repetitive piece of a pre-existing blueprint; you will take total ownership of your designs from initial concept and schematic creation through PCB layout, component selection, rapid prototyping, and production verification. You will balance multiple concurrent projects spanning diverse industrial applications, ensuring your day-to-day workflow remains highly varied, technically challenging, and deeply engaging. If you are looking for a career home where your design fingerprints are clearly visible on the final product, this is the perfect playground for your craft.

What You Will Be Doing

Designing and laying out complex multi-layer PCBs from initial concept development through to final manufacturing and production release
Developing, optimizing, and testing robust power supply topologies, including analog and mixed-signal circuitry
Creating detailed electrical schematics, clear technical specifications, and accurate, production-ready Bills of Materials (BOMs)
Supporting hands-on prototype builds, lab testing, firmware debugging verification, and initial manufacturing line startups
Generating comprehensive technical documentation, test plans, and engineering change notices (ECNs) to support corporate project deliverables
Performing critical circuit reliability analysis, component derating assessments, and supporting internal quality assurance processes
Managing multiple project timelines simultaneously, communicating effectively across production and leadership teams to hit product release dates

What We Are Looking For

Hardware Design Pedigree: 4 or more years of hands-on experience executing circuit design and complex PCB layouts. (A Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering is preferred; however, we will proudly consider a master tradesperson with 10+ years of direct, advanced design experience in lieu of a formal degree).
Power & Analog Fluency: Proven competency in the design, component selection, and optimization of power supplies or complex analog/mixed-signal systems.
Documentation Rigor: A flawless ability to read, interpret, and author technical schematics, component specifications, and assembly instructions.
Regulated Manufacturing Literacy: Prior exposure working within a quality-driven, ISO-certified, or heavily regulated manufacturing environment where documentation and traceability matter.
Self-Directed Initiative: A self-motivated, organized professional who excels at multitasking independently and driving active projects to completion with minimal supervision.

Strong Pluses (Not Required)

Familiarity with advanced circuit simulation software platforms (PSpice, LTspice, or similar)
Direct exposure to mechanical integration and enclosure constraints using 3D modeling tools (SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, or similar)
Basic embedded systems literacy or firmware familiarity (C/C++, microcontrollers)
Design experience targeting high-reliability, ruggedized, or performance-critical industrial sectors
