The role
Electrical Design Engineers will design, build, and scale complex electrical systems. You will own the full design lifecycle from architecting boards to debugging prototypes and working with manufacturers.
What you will do
- Design and develop complex electrical systems including power distribution, sensor integration, and motor drive systems.
- Execute full-cycle PCB development including schematic capture, component selection, multi-layer layout, and manufacturing file generation.
- Assemble, test, and debug initial prototypes.
- Work with firmware and mechanical engineers to define connectors, pinouts, and physical constraints.
- Develop specifications and accelerated test plans to validate the product.
- Interface with PCB fabricators and component suppliers to ensure timely delivery and DFM.
Required qualifications
- Technical degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent.
- 5+ years of experience (or equivalent "hard tech" projects) building complex electromechanical systems and sensors.
- Deep understanding of DC-DC converters, EMI/EMC mitigation, and standard communication protocols (I2C, SPI, CAN bus, UART).
- Experience with hardware validation cycles, debug and measurement methods.
- Experience with wire harnesses, cabling & connectors.
- Experience designing for volume processes and working with contract manufacturers.
- Comfortable with ambiguity, move fast, and have an "engineering curiosity".
