The Impact You'll Make

We’re looking for an Electrical Design Engineer who’s excited to take products from concept to reality. In this role, you’ll play a key part in new product development, working across the full lifecycle — from defining specifications and designing schematics to creating PCB layouts, testing prototypes, and supporting production release. You’ll apply strong engineering fundamentals, advanced math skills, and hands‑on hardware experience to develop reliable, high‑quality electronic designs. If you enjoy solving complex technical challenges, collaborating with cross‑functional teams, and continuously improving how products are built, this role will give you the opportunity to make a real impact. 

What You’ll Be Doing

 

  • Lead electrical design efforts for new product development, from defining specifications to production release.

  • Design electrical schematics using solid engineering principles and advanced math concepts.

  • Perform hands‑on bench testing, validation, and troubleshooting of prototype and production hardware.

  • Upgrade existing controller platforms to meet the latest Cybersecurity (CRA) requirements.

  • Interpret and apply international engineering and environmental standards throughout the design process.

  • Collaborate with cross‑functional teams (mechanical, software, manufacturing, quality) to ensure seamless integration of electrical designs.

  • Use ECAD and mechanical CAD tools (Altium Designer, NX, or similar) to support design and documentation.

  • Utilize lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, signal generators, RF tools, and data acquisition systems.

  • Support continuous improvement initiatives, driving quality, reliability, and design efficiency.

  • Communicate technical concepts clearly to stakeholders across engineering, product management, and manufacturing.

What We're Looking For

  • Bachelor of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited university
  • Have a minimum of 3 years of experience applying skills in designing schematics and printed circuit boards
  • Possess good knowledge of ECAD tools and mechanical CAD tools, experience with Altium Designer and NX are a plus
  • Ability to apply advanced mathematical concepts such as algebra, calculus, probability and statistics, geometry, and trigonometry
  • Basic knowledge of digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, PC data acquisition hardware, inspection equipment, signal generators, power supplies, RF equipment, and current probes
  • Possess strong interpersonal skills and ability to effectively communicate with key stakeholders
  • Salary range for this role is dependent on location.
