About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own the electrical design of sensing products from concept through production release, including requirements, architecture, detailed design, prototyping, validation, and launch support
Design high-performance analog and mixed-signal circuitry, including sensor interface electronics, signal conditioning, power management, and embedded microcontroller systems
Own PCB design through schematic capture, layout direction, stackup and grounding decisions, design for manufacturability, and hands-on board bring-up and debug
Develop electronics that perform reliably in extreme temperatures, high vibration and mechanical shock, electrical noise and EMI, and chemical and environmental contamination
Work closely with firmware engineers on board bring-up, communication interfaces, and system-level integration
Lead isolation of problems crossing the hardware and firmware boundary
Plan and execute design verification and product validation, including environmental, thermal, vibration, EMC, ingress, and accelerated-life testing
Lead structured root cause analysis on design, validation, production, and field issues, and drive corrective action through closure
Support manufacturing readiness and design for manufacturability
Respond to production and supplier issues as the responsible design engineer
Serve as technical owner of assigned products, manage technical risk, and be accountable for field performance
Influence quality, manufacturing, firmware, suppliers, and customers without direct authority
Support customer and OEM technical interaction, including application questions, integration support, and field investigations
Contribute to engineering standards, component libraries, design review practice, and validation planning

Requirements

What you’ll need

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (Master's degree a plus)
8+ years of experience developing electronic products, including at least one product personally taken from concept through production release
Strong analog and mixed-signal circuit design experience, including low-level signal conditioning, sensor interface electronics, noise reduction, grounding, and signal integrity
Hands-on experience with at least one sensing or instrumentation technology, such as capacitive, ultrasonic, radar, magnetic, optical, pressure, temperature, or strain measurement
PCB design ownership, including schematic capture, layout direction, stackup and grounding decisions, design for manufacturability, and hands-on board bring-up and debug
Demonstrated ability to plan and execute both design verification and product validation, and to clearly articulate the difference between them
Structured root cause analysis and troubleshooting on real product failures, including field and customer issues
Experience working alongside firmware teams and with common embedded interfaces such as I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, LIN, and RS-485
Experience designing electronics for harsh environments, including wide temperature ranges, high vibration and mechanical shock, and electrical noise
Proficient hand soldering, prototyping, and bench instrumentation
Clear record of owning technical decisions and driving them to closure
Clear communicator who can explain technical decisions and work effectively across engineering, manufacturing, quality, suppliers, and customers
Up to 10% travel may be required
Ability to perform physical duties including prolonged walking, bending, climbing, rotating, squatting, reaching, kneeling, stooping, lifting up to 25 pounds, and computer use
Ability to work in environments with heat/cold, heights, gases, vibration, dust, chemicals, odors, dampness, fumes, and noises
