## About the Role

* Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
 * 3+ years of hands-on experience in embedded hardware design, with strong emphasis on schematic capture and PCB layout.
 * Proficiency with EDA tools (KiCad preferred)
 * Solid understanding of analog/digital design, power electronics, high-speed signals, and EMI best practice
 * Experience bringing up and debugging complex prototypes in a lab environment
 * Familiarity with industrial/automotive-grade design practices (derating, conformal coating, wide-temp components)
 * Hands-on skills with lab equipment (scopes, multimeters, soldering stations, logic analyzers)
 * Strong attention to detail and documentation discipline

Preferred Requirements:

 * Knowledge of engines and how they operate
 * Experience designing electronics for stationary engines, heavy equipment, or similar harsh-environment applications
 * Knowledge of industrial protocols (CAN/J1939, Modbus) and safety certifications (CSA, UL, IEC, ATEX)

Work Environment: This position operates in a professional office environment. Standard business hours apply, with flexibility to meet project deadlines as needed.We're an equal opportunity employer. All applicants will be considered for employment without attention to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, veteran or disability status.

## Description

* Analyze, design, and develop analog and digital circuits as required
 * Create detailed, well-documented schematics for embedded systems including microcontrollers, power supplies, analog sensor interfaces, high-voltage drivers, and industrial communication circuits
 * Perform component selection, derating analysis, and worst-case circuit analysis for reliability in harsh conditions
 * Design high-reliability multilayer PCBs (4-6 layers typical) with focus on signal integrity, power distribution, thermal management, EMI/EMC mitigation, and mechanical constraints
 * Optimize layouts for manufacturability, testability, and long-term field reliability (vibration, shock, -40°C to +85°C operation)
 * Collaborate with external layout resources when needed, but personally own critical designs
 * Assemble, power-up, and debug first-article prototypes using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, thermal imaging, and environmental chambers
 * Identify and resolve hardware issues (noise, timing, power sequencing, thermal hotspots, etc.)
 * Support firmware integration and system-level validation on engine test stands
 * Work directly with systems engineers to refine requirements and architecture
 * Contribute to our component library, design guidelines, and DFx (design for excellence) processes
 * Participate in root-cause analysis for field returns and legacy product sustaining
 * Conduct design reviews
 * Communications protocols over hardware networks CAN, RS485, ETHERNET
