If you think you would be the right person to join our team working towards this goal, we would love to hear from you!

Overview

We’re looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer with prior hands-on experience in electronic product development to join our cross-functional hardware team. You’ll help design, validate, and bring to production embedded systems that combine high-speed digital, power, and sensor interfaces in rugged, real-world environments.

This role is ideal for an Engineer ready to take on greater ownership, from schematic design through to bring-up, test, and production support.

NOTE: Candidates must reside in The United States or Canada.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Schematic design and PCB layout oversight for digital and mixed-signal systems;
  • Support board bring-up and system integration alongside firmware and software teams;
  • Write and execute test plans for prototypes and production builds;
  • Perform component selection, BOM optimization, and supplier coordination;
  • Collaborate with mechanical, firmware, and manufacturing teams on product definition and delivery;
  • Own and maintain documentation for designs, test results, and revisions.

Minimum Qualifications:

  • Prior experience shipping embedded systems – ideally embedded Linux systems. (3–6 years of experience is ideal);
  • Strong understanding of EE principles applied to circuit board design: signal integrity, power delivery, firmware, and peripheral standards (USB, I2C, SPI, etc);
  • Proficient in creating schematics and PCB layouts, as well as reviewing them. (We use Kicad.);
  • Excellent written and verbal communication. (Being remote, we are a document forward group!);
  • Comfortable with lab tools: oscilloscope, logic analyzer, multimeter, etc;
  • Familiarity with board-level debugging and prototype rework.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience designing for and debugging USB, Ethernet, or other high-speed interfaces;
  • Prior work with complex embedded Linux SOCs or FPGAs (experience with Xilinx FPGAs/ Zynq/ZynqMP is a huge plus);
  • Comfortable with writing C for firmware or embedded Linux applications. (Plenty of room to expand here, if interested!);
  • Experience with low-power, anti tamper, or mechanical system design;
  • Familiarity with compliance testing (EMI/ESD/thermal);
  • Some scripting or automation (e.g., Python, test data capture).

Compensation & Benefits:

  • The Compensation Range is for the primary location for which the job is posted. Please note that the actual compensation may vary depending on location and job-related factors such as qualifications, experience, knowledge and skills. If you are applying for this role outside of the primary location and you are selected for an interview, the Talent Acquisition Partner can share more information with you. If the compensation structure for the role includes an incentive component (ie. most Sales roles) the range below represents total target compensation (TTC) (base salary + variable).
