Job description

Firmware Visionary Innovation Electronics Multimeters Oscilloscope Smoke Detector Board Bring-Up Altium Designer Microcontrollers Intrinsic Safety Schematic Capture Digital Electronics Signal Conditioning Fire And Life Safety Printed Circuit Board Hardware Architecture Electrical Engineering Artificial Intelligence Fire Suppression Systems Engineering Design Process Printed Circuit Board Design Analog-To-Digital Converters Troubleshooting (Problem Solving) Electromagnetic Interference And Compatibility (EMC/EMI), The Hardware Engineer will be responsible for executing schematic capture and PCB design in Altium for fire detection and suppression controllers. This includes working on a new control board for the air replenishment system redesign and a new vehicle fire suppression controller. The engineer will implement, revise, and verify board designs while collaborating on architecture-level decisions and conducting DFMEA. Responsibilities

  • Create and revise schematics and PCB layouts using Altium / Altium 365.
  • Design mixed-signal microcontroller-based boards, including analog signal conditioning and A/D interfaces.
  • Support designs for intrinsically safe environments, including fusing, current limiting, and voltage limiting.
  • Conduct EMC troubleshooting and design remediation as needed.
  • Perform component selection and support obsolescence-driven redesign work.
  • Conduct board bring-up and benchtop verification using oscilloscopes, multimeters, and related lab equipment.
  • Collaborate with firmware engineers on hardware/firmware integration and debugging., Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI): We may use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to support parts of our hiring process, including sourcing, screening, and evaluating candidates. AI helps assess applications and qualifications, but final decisions are made by our hiring team. By applying, you acknowledge and agree that your application may be reviewed using AI tools.
