About the Role

As a Lead Embedded Electrical Engineer, you will collaborate with Software, Hardware, and Product Design teams to deliver full-service solutions. Your work will focus on electrical design and system reliability for end-to-end hardware and software systems, specializing in embedded electronics and PCB development for connected devices.

Responsibilities

• Bringing up, debugging, and validating hardware prototypes
• Designing custom PCBAs from concept through production
• Performing thorough electrical validation and troubleshooting
• Using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other diagnostic tools to debug and validate hardware designs
• Ensuring designs are production-ready before handoff to manufacturing
• Architecting the electrical sub-system on new IoT products
• Interacting with contract manufacturers to get designs into mass production
• Owning hardware designs end-to-end, from early architecture through prototype validation and production readiness

Requirements

• 6+ years of experience
• BS or higher in Electrical Engineering or closely related field
• Expert-level proficiency in electrical schematic capture (preferably Altium)
• Proven ability to perform complex PCB layout, including high-speed signal integrity and power delivery network (PDN) analysis
• Deep experience with embedded systems design, including microcontroller selection and peripheral integration
• Hands-on experience with hardware bring-up, debugging, and validation using standard lab equipment (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, etc.)
• Strong understanding of Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Test (DFT) principles
• Experience with power supply design (AC/DC, DC/DC conversion) and low-power battery-operated designs
• Knowledge of common wireless communication protocols (BLE, Wi-Fi, cellular) and RF design considerations (matching networks, antenna integration)
• Experience ensuring products meet regulatory compliance standards (e.g., FCC, CE, UL)
• Working knowledge of signal processing and sensor interfacing techniques
• Experience designing products for hazardous or harsh environments
• Background in optimizing products for extreme low power consumption (e.g., energy harvesting, deep sleep modes)
• Knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS IoT, Azure IoT, Google Cloud) and how electrical design impacts device-to-cloud communication
• Experience with embedded security considerations (secure boot, encryption, anti-tamper)
• Prior experience working in a regulated industry (e.g., Medical, Automotive, Industrial Control)
• Must have a valid work permit for the United States
• Must have access to your own computer/device and reliable internet
