Responsibilities

  • Design and develop complex electrical systems, including power distribution, sensor integration, and motor drive systems.

  • Execute full-cycle PCB development—schematic capture, component selection, multi-layer layout, and manufacturing file generation (Altium, KiCad, or OrCAD).

  • Assemble, test, and debug initial prototypes

  • Work closely with firmware and mechanical engineers to define connectors, pinouts, and physical constraints.

  • Develop specifications and accelerated test plans to validate the product for its lifetime

  • Interface with PCB fabricators and component suppliers to ensure timely delivery and DFM

Qualifications

  • Technical degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent

  • 5+ years of experience (or equivalent "hard tech" projects) building complex electromechanical systems and sensors

  • Deep understanding of DC-DC converters, EMI/EMC mitigation, and standard communication protocols (I2C, SPI, CAN bus, UART).

  • Experience with hardware validation cycles, debug and measurement methods

  • Experience with wire harnesses, cabling & connectors.4

  • Experience designing for volume processes and working with contract manufacturers

  • You are comfortable with ambiguity, move fast, and have an "engineering curiosity" that drives you to understand how the entire system works, not just your part.
