Responsibilities Design and develop complex electrical systems, including power distribution, sensor integration, and motor drive systems. Execute full-cycle PCB development—schematic capture, component selection, multi-layer layout, and manufacturing file generation (Altium, KiCad, or OrCAD). Assemble, test, and debug initial prototypes Work closely with firmware and mechanical engineers to define connectors, pinouts, and physical constraints. Develop specifications and accelerated test plans to validate the product for its lifetime Interface with PCB fabricators and component suppliers to ensure timely delivery and DFM
Qualifications Technical degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent 5+ years of experience (or equivalent "hard tech" projects) building complex electromechanical systems and sensors Deep understanding of DC-DC converters, EMI/EMC mitigation, and standard communication protocols (I2C, SPI, CAN bus, UART). Experience with hardware validation cycles, debug and measurement methods Experience with wire harnesses, cabling & connectors.4 Experience designing for volume processes and working with contract manufacturers You are comfortable with ambiguity, move fast, and have an "engineering curiosity" that drives you to understand how the entire system works, not just your part.

No applications, no recruiter spam. Just the intro.
A few questions to make sure this role is the right shape for you. Two minutes.
I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.
If they’re a yes, I book the chat. You show up — that’s the whole job-hunt.
