The team is multidisciplinary, hands-on, and focused on delivering robust designs from concept through production. Enphase Energy is seeking a Senior Electronics Hardware Engineer to develop, integrate, and validate system-level electronic hardware for new and existing products. This role is focused on system architecture, digital and mixed-signal design, hardware/firmware integration, and full ownership of hardware execution from requirements to release. What you will do * Create innovative system-level embedded hardware designs to support next-generation energy system products. * Lead specification, design, schematic capture, prototyping, and debugging of complex circuits and PCBAs. * Design digital circuits including processor/MCU support, memory, clocking, reset, and interface connectivity. * Implement and debug digital interfaces including CAN, UART, I2C, and SPI. * Interface digital subsystems with analog circuitry, including ADC and DAC integration. * Define and validate mixed-signal performance requirements such as signal conditioning, filtering, grounding, reference accuracy, noise coupling, and timing. * Perform hands-on board bring-up, hardware validation, and troubleshooting using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, and standard bench equipment. * Collaborate closely with firmware engineers on peripheral enablement and board bring-up; provide basic firmware-level debug support where needed. * Own PCB design quality with attention to signal integrity, EMI/EMC, manufacturability, and testability. * Generate complete design documentation and release packages, including schematics, layout deliverables, BOMs, test plans, and manufacturing outputs. * Support design transfer to manufacturing and resolve hardware issues through validation and product ramp. ## Related Videos - [More efficient software for more efficient microchips](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1164-more-efficient-software-for-more-efficient-microchips) - [Playing Pong on a shoulder press machine](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100140-playing-pong-on-a-shoulder-press-machine) - [Agent Smith Gets Hardware: Autonomous IoT Hacking From Debug Port to Cloud API](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100258-agent-smith-gets-hardware-autonomous-iot-hacking-from-debug-port-to-cloud-api) - [Breaking the Hardware Mindset: Overcoming Barriers to System-Level Innovation](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1635-breaking-the-hardware-mindset-overcoming-barriers-to-system-level-innovation) - [Building a hypercar from scratch](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/607-building-a-hypercar-from-scratch) - [When Agents Meet Legacy: Never Change a Running System](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100320-when-agents-meet-legacy-never-change-a-running-system) ## Related Articles - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Top Characteristics of a Software Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/166-top-characteristics-of-a-software-engineer) - [Is Software Engineering Hard?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/448-is-software-engineering-hard) - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs) - [What is Software Engineering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/289-what-is-software-engineering)
