Role summary

Seeking an Electrical Design Engineer with 5+ years of experience in complex electromechanical systems and sensors. Responsibilities include full-cycle PCB development using tools like Altium, KiCad, or OrCAD, schematic capture, component selection, layout, and manufacturing file generation. The role requires deep understanding of DC-DC converters, EMI/EMC mitigation, and communication protocols (I2C, SPI, CAN bus, UART). Experience with hardware validation, debug, measurement methods, wire harnesses, cabling, connectors, and designing for volume production with contract manufacturers is essential. The ideal candidate is comfortable with ambiguity, moves fast, and possesses strong engineering curiosity.

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.
