Responsibilities
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
Qualification
Required
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
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)
