Hardware Systems Engineer

We are looking for a well-rounded, experienced, electronics design engineer to develop custom printed circuit boards. Skills areas include: design of electronic circuits for printed circuit boards, design of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) and debugging of firmware for embedded microprocessors.

The engineer should be able to work in a small company environment and be able to make contributions in many disciplines, including: define system architectures and specifications, define data interfaces, debug systems and manage a project team including outside vendors.

The successful candidate will keep current with the latest research and advances in the field, help shape the direction of the electronics and firmware of the product, and be comfortable tackling unfamiliar or broadly defined problems with little or no outside direction. We are looking for a person with excellent technical, management, and interpersonal skills, a good communicator, and someone who can comfortably work in a multidisciplinary field. Our company has a casual working environment, but high standards of performance.
