Hardware Design Engineer

At PulseForge, we’re expanding the boundaries of advanced manufacturing through pulsed-light technology. As a Hardware Design Engineer, you’ll design the hardware behind our systems from power delivery and precision instrumentation to controls and system integration. You’ll work and collaborate across electrical, software, mechanical, manufacturing, and applications teams to take new products from concept through customer deployment. The Team You’ll join a growing electrical engineering team at the heart of every sub-system developed, tested, supported, and shipped at PulseForge. Every board that ships in a PulseForge system comes from this group. That means you’ll see your work go from concept to production and hear directly how it performs in the field. There is very little distance between the engineer who designed the hardware and the outcome. You’ll be working on and developing differing systems ranging from instrumentation, mixed-signal electronics, power systems, control and safety systems. What You’ll Do · Develop schematics, select components, and evaluate design tradeoffs on hardware you own from concept through release · System specifications and requirement gathering and definition · Plan and develop PCB layouts following best practices for signal integrity, thermal performance, noise immunity, and EMI mitigation · Bring up, debug, characterize, and validate new designs at the bench · Design and execute test plans, fixtures, and experiments, and use data, simulations, and measurements to guide design decisions · Collaborate with software, mechanical, manufacturing, and applications teams to develop solutions that work not only on the bench, but in production and at customer sites · Help with sustaining work and product improvements across our installed base.

· B.S. in Electrical Engineering or equivalent · 2+ years of experience designing, building, and testing electronic hardware · Experience developing original circuits and making design decisions from first principles, rather than only modifying existing designs.
