- Architect electrical subsystems for IoT and connected devices, ensuring performance, manufacturability, and reliability.
- Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including software, hardware, and product design.
- Use diagnostic tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and DMMs for hardware validation and troubleshooting.
- Ensure all hardware designs are production-ready and manage interactions with contract manufacturers.
- Translate business and product requirements into technical electrical solutions, considering trade-offs and risks.
- Mentor and guide junior engineers in best practices for embedded electrical design.
- BS in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field (MS preferred).
- 5+ years of experience in embedded electrical engineering; 7+ years preferred.
- Strong experience with PCB design, embedded microcontrollers (ARM Cortex, ESP32), and digital communication protocols (I2C, SPI, UART).
- Knowledge of wireless communication hardware, AC/DC and battery power systems, and low-power embedded design.
- Proficiency with hardware design tools such as Altium, PCB mills, and electrical diagnostic equipment.
- Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills with the ability to convey technical decisions clearly.
- Experience taking hardware designs from concept through prototype validation to production readiness.
- Competitive salary range: $130,000–$150,000 per year, commensurate with experience.
- Variable compensation up to 15%.
- 401(k) with company match.
- Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance.
