Client is looking for an Electrical Engineer with 2+ years of experience building physical hardware to join our lean, high-impact team designing the next generation of solar-powered highway camera systems. You're someone who has owned a full PCB design end-to-end, seen your hardware fail in the real world, and learned from it. Client is scaling from dozens of deployed cameras to hundreds across the country, and we need methodical, hands-on engineers who can make our hardware more robust, reliable, and manufacturable. This is a role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, loves getting their hands dirty, and is excited to solve open-ended problems — from designing circuits to testing them on the highway.
What You Will Be Doing
End-to-End PCB Design: Own the entire hardware lifecycle in Altium—from initial schematic capture and layout to component selection, prototyping, manufacturing, and field deployment.
Power Optimization: Enhance our solar-charging, battery management, and DC-DC power systems to ensure high reliability under incredibly tight power budgets and extreme outdoor environments.
Lab Validation & Debugging: Get hands-on in our electronics lab using oscilloscopes, power supplies, logic analyzers, and other test gear to diagnose, debug, and validate hardware.
Firmware & Automation: Write embedded C/C++ or Python scripts to bring up, test, and automate the validation of your custom hardware designs.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with our embedded systems, software, and operations teams. You will occasionally travel (approximately quarterly) to assist with field installations, testing, and calibration under real-world conditions.
What We Are Looking For
Experience & Background
2 to 6 years of experience in hardware electrical engineering.
Full-Lifecycle PCB Ownership: Proven track record of taking custom boards from a blank canvas in schematic capture through to manufactured, fully functional, and tested physical hardware.
Startup Mindset: Experience in a small team or startup environment where you had broad hardware ownership rather than being siloed into a single narrow task.
Harsh-Environment Deployments: Prior experience designing hardware that survives unattended in harsh, rugged, or outdoor environments (e.g., IoT, outdoor field devices, automotive, or marine systems).
Education: BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related field.
Technical Skills
EDA Tools: High proficiency in Altium Designer (or equivalent EDA software).
Power Systems: Solid understanding of solar charging, battery management systems (BMS), and DC-DC conversion.
Coding/Scripting: Ability to write Embedded C/C++ or Python for hardware test automation and basic firmware bring-up.
Hardware Protocols: Experience with serial and networking protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, Ethernet).
Soft Skills & Work Style
Self-Directed Problem Solver: You don’t wait for a product manager to hand you a step-by-step ticket. You independently identify hardware failures, root causes, and propose robust solutions.
Thrives in Ambiguity: You love getting your hands dirty, trying things, failing quickly in the lab, learning from those failures, and iterating fast.
