The ideal candidate combines technical expertise, strong engineering discipline, and practical understanding of electrical engineering lifecycle, design for manufacturing, and will work closely with our firmware, mechanicals, RF engineers, manufacturing and test counterparts. As a small company, our engineers wear many hats, so a good candidate will be adaptable and proactive. Beyond technical design responsibilities, this engineer will help elevate engineering standards, develop processes, documentation, quality, and participate in collaborative engineering across the organization.
Key Responsibilities
Own the circuit architecture, design, analysis, and validation of complex electronic hardware systems
Perform component selection, produce schematics, PCB Layout, and production drawings using Altium Designer
Circuit designs will include switching and linear power supplies, low-noise analog, high-speed digital, with reliability, thermal performance, and cost optimizations
Perform hardware bring-up, troubleshooting, analysis, and resolution of signal and power integrity, EMI/EMC/ESD, thermal, and reliability challenges
Continuation Engineering of the existing product line, including interfacing with manufacturing partners to support production transfer, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement initiatives
Drive design-for-manufacturing (DFM), design-for-test (DFT), and design-for-reliability (DFR) practices throughout the product life cycle
Participate in developing, documenting, execution, and elevating our validation, and testing deliverables and workflows
Qualifications
Minimum bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or related discipline
10+ Years of experience developing commercial electronic products in a manufacturing environment
Demonstrated expertise in schematic capture, PCB development, and electronic hardware debugging
Experience in digital and analog design, EMI, EMC, ESD protection, grounding, and low-noise techniques
Experience with test and measurement equipment: oscilloscopes, meters; spectrum analyzers. BERT and Signal Analyzers are a plus.
Proven success taking products from concept through manufacturing and production release, including manufacturing and production support
Ability to perform root-cause analysis and solve complex hardware issues
Excellent organizational, documentation, and communication skills, transferring knowledge from engineering to non-technical parties like production and sales
Desired Personal Attributes
Strong Systems-Thinking mindset with attention to detail
Highly organized and capable of managing multiple projects simultaneously
Practical, hands-on engineer who enjoys laboratory work and troubleshooting
Dirven to improve engineering quality, documentation, and development processes
Collaborative team player who works effectively across hardware, firmware, manufacturing, and operations teams, but also challenges the status quo
Capable of providing technical leadership and influencing engineering excellence without direct authority, including mentoring other engineers
Software literacy (C , Python) is a plus
Experience developing RF, Telecommunications, Fiber-Optic, and/or industrial applications is a plus
