    Description

    Electrical Engineer – PCB & Embedded Systems

    We’re looking for a hands-on Electrical Engineer to join a growing engineering team developing industrial electronic products from concept through production. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys designing hardware, solving technical problems, and seeing products through the entire development lifecycle.

    You’ll work closely with software, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to develop reliable embedded electronic systems used in demanding industrial environments.

    Responsibilities

    • Design electronic circuits, schematics, and multilayer printed circuit boards (PCBAs) for new and existing products.
    • Select components including microcontrollers, sensors, power supplies, connectors, and communication interfaces.
    • Develop, assemble, and validate hardware prototypes.
    • Perform hardware debugging, troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis.
    • Support embedded hardware development alongside software engineers, including basic firmware bring-up and debugging.
    • Participate in product redesigns driven by component obsolescence, cost reduction, and performance improvements.
    • Create and maintain engineering documentation including schematics, BOMs, test procedures, and design records.
    • Support manufacturing, production, and sustaining engineering efforts to improve product quality and reliability.
    • Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams throughout product development.

    Qualifications

    • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline.
    • 5+ years of electrical/electronics product development experience.
    • Strong experience designing PCBAs, schematics, and electronic circuits.
    • Experience with PCB design software such as Altium Designer, KiCad, Cadence, OrCAD, EAGLE, or similar.
    • Experience designing embedded hardware using microcontrollers.
    • Familiarity with communication interfaces such as USB, SPI, I²C, UART, Ethernet, or CAN.
    • Experience with analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuit design.
    • Comfortable troubleshooting hardware prototypes and production issues.
    • Basic embedded firmware experience using C/C++ is preferred.
    • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.

    Preferred Experience

    Experience in one or more of the following industries is a plus:

    • Industrial Automation
    • Scientific Instrumentation
    • Test & Measurement
    • Robotics
    • Medical Devices
    • Semiconductor Equipment
    • Automotive Electronics
    • Industrial Controls
    • Advanced Manufacturing

    What You’ll Bring

    • A practical, hands-on approach to engineering.
    • Ability to own projects from concept through production.
    • Comfortable wearing multiple hats in a collaborative engineering environment.
    • Passion for building reliable products and continuously improving existing designs.
