Hardware Design Engineer

Location: Remote (Salt Lake City, Utah, US)

Department: Embedded Systems

About the Role

At Torus, we value speed and quality equally. We are seeking a skilled Hardware Design Engineer to lead CPU board design for our Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS). In this role, you will design and develop schematics and PCB layouts for embedded digital and analog circuits supporting measurement, control, and communication functions. You will work with interfaces such as CAN, I²C, UART, Ethernet, and USB, as well as design power supply, ADCs and embedded control subsystems.

Who You Are

• Insanely detail oriented: You know every trace, and every pinout on the PCBs you design. You double check your schematics and layouts, and then double check once more before fabrication.
• Self motivated: You never need to be asked where you’re at with a project because there is already an update and summary in Slack for the entire team to review.
• Naturally collaborative: You evaluate the success of your work based on the impact your board designs have, which means you are constantly seeking context and feedback from the team of Hardware, Power Electronics, and Firmware Engineers around you.
• Balance speed with quality: You identify strategies and options which create near-term value, and solve current pain points, while creating options and flexibility into the future. You question constraints and help the team identify which boundaries to push.

Responsibilities

• Designing, developing, testing, and integrating real-time electronic circuits
• Creating schematic drawings and translating designs into PCB layouts
• Defining and documenting interface specifications and system requirements
• Planning, conducting, and reporting results from hardware tests
• Collaborating closely with cross-functional teams, including firmware, mechanical, and electrical engineers

Required Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical field
• 5 - 10+ years of experience in embedded hardware design
• Proficiency in schematic capture and PCB layout
• Strong background in digital and analog circuit design
• Hands-on experience testing hardware using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and related equipment
• Proven ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary engineering team
• Flexibility and adaptability in a fast-paced, dynamic environment

Preferred Experience

• Familiarity with OrCAD and Allegro design tools
• Basic knowledge of firmware development
