Required
You've been doing this long enough to have taken multiple electronic products from a blank schematic sheet to hardware that shipped and worked. You have a knack for picking up new skills and technologies quickly, and you seek out new challenges rather than waiting for them. You love to own your designs from cradle to grave, and you're deeply invested in making sure your work meets the expectations of your peers and your customers. You're comfortable making architecture decisions under ambiguity, and comfortable revisiting them when something changes. You hold other people's designs to the standard you hold your own, and you can say "this isn't ready yet" in a way that makes the design better and the engineer stronger. You have outstanding attention to detail. You communicate credibly with customers, including when the news isn't what they hoped for.
Above all, people refer to you as an outstanding team member that they enjoy working with.
Deep, Hands-on Experience
Electrical system architecture, including architecture trades, system-level design, electrical block diagrams, power trees and budgets, and electrical interface control documents (EICDs)
Digital, analog, and mixed-signal circuit design
Linear and switch-mode DC/DC power conversion design
Integration of microcontrollers, processors, and/or FPGAs, board-level communication interfaces (I2C, SPI, UART, RS-232/422/485, CAN), USB, Ethernet, and analog and sensor interfaces
Schematic capture and design data management in Altium Designer 24 or later, including library management, multi-sheet hierarchical schematics, and generation of fabrication and assembly outputs
PCB layout design, including stack-up definition, component placement, routing and escape strategy, power distribution, thermal management, and design for manufacturability
Prototype development, board bring-up, test, and debug in a lab environment using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, network analyzers, and similar equipment
Design documentation, including test plans, procedures and reports, and ECOs
Working Knowledge and Familiarity
Preferred
Team task management, including estimating, scheduling, and tracking engineering work
Design analysis and simulation (WCA/WCCA, reliability, FMEA, SPICE)
Demonstrable experience designing and launching products in regulated environments (e.g., OSHA, ANSI/ITSDF 56.5-2024)
Education and Experience:
Bachelor’s degree (B.S.) from an accredited technical college or university in Electrical or Computer Engineering
7+ years of experience, including 2+ years as technical lead on hardware development efforts
