What you will do

• Design, capture schematics, prototype, and support layout of microcontroller/microprocessor-based PWB/PWA designs from concept through production.
• Design and develop complex embedded systems spanning mixed-signal design, high-speed interfaces, power supplies, and integration across hardware, firmware, mechanical, and manufacturing domains.
• Participate in system architecture discussions, design reviews, and technical tradeoff evaluations to ensure robust, scalable, and manufacturable designs.
• Develop or support firmware and/or FPGA designs; lead board bring-up, debugging, and root-cause analysis to drive issues to resolution.
• Test and verify new designs; create and execute test plans and build test fixtures for production testing.
• Lead or support transition of designs into production and mentor junior engineers, technicians, and interns.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering.
• 5+ years of experience in embedded hardware design, PWB/PWA design, schematic capture, layout support, and board bring-up with increasing ownership.
• Ability to independently design, bring up, debug, and deliver embedded hardware systems, printed wiring assemblies, or major electrical subsystems.
• Strong analog and digital circuit design experience, including DC/DC power supplies, mixed-signal circuits, and digital interfaces (SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet, USB).
• Experience developing in C/C++ and/or VHDL or Verilog.
• Must be able to lawfully work in the US with unrestricted work authorization.

Nice to have
