Job description
You will be responsible for guiding a small team to complete projects end-to-end: defining system architecture, making critical technical decisions, coordinating cross-functional efforts (hardware, firmware, mechanical, compliance), and actively contributing to electronics hardware design. Ideal candidates combine strong systems-level thinking with practical electronics engineering skills, enabling them to both architect robust, mission-critical control systems and personally design high-reliability circuit boards that survive decades in harsh industrial environments. This position is perfect for an engineer who thrives on ownership, enjoys balancing big-picture strategy mixed with the details of circuitry and software., * Work with engineering manger to make key technical decisions on architecture, technology selection, risk trade-offs, and design direction.
- Drive project schedules, milestones, and deliverables while managing scope, budget, and resources.
- Lead a small team for entire product development cycles
- Ensure seamless integration of hardware, firmware, and mechanical packaging for vibration/shock/thermal/EMI-heavy environments.
- Personally design analog/digital circuits, schematic creation
- Perform component selection, layout oversight (or direct layout), and signal integrity analysis.
- Work closely with firmware engineers, test technicians, manufacturing, and quality teams.
- Support root-cause analysis on field returns and legacy product issues.
- Contribute to continuous improvement of our design processes, tools, and component libraries.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics or related field
- 7+ years of experience in embedded systems development, with at least 2 years in a leadership or project ownership role.
- Designed industrial-grade embedded hardware (rugged electronics for harsh environments strongly preferred).
- Strong analog and digital circuit design experience (schematics, PCB layout principles, power electronics, sensor interfacing).
- Hands-on proficiency with lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, thermal chambers, vibration tables).
- Experience with real-time embedded systems, including requirements definition, risk management, and verification/validation.
- Solid understanding of industrial communication protocols (CAN/J1939, Modbus, Ethernet/IP).
- Excellent problem-solving, decision-making, and communication skills.
Preferred Requirements
- Direct experience with stationary engine controls, ignition systems, or heavy-duty industrial electronics.
- Familiarity with safety-critical design practices and certifications (UL 508, IEC 61508, ATEX).
- Experience leading multidisciplinary teams on complex projects.
Work Environment: This position operates in a professional office environment. Standard business hours apply, with flexibility to meet project deadlines as needed.
