This hands-on hardware engineering role takes electronics products from prototype into production. You will own design validation, reliability testing and certification, refine power and precision analog circuitry, and bring products up with contract manufacturers.
Key Responsibilities:
- Own design validation by defining requirements, writing test plans and running DVT across power, analog/data acquisition and RF subsystems
- Refine power electronics and precision analog front ends for voltage and high-current sensing, managing noise, drift and calibration budgets
- Run reliability and environmental test programs, including thermal cycling, damp heat and UV, setting acceptance criteria, analyzing failures and feeding findings back into the design
- Lead certification with NRTLs and test labs (UL 1741, UL/IEC 61010, FCC Part 15, cellular carrier certification, CE, IP rating), owning the test plan, documentation package and schedule
- Drive DFM/DFT work, covering BOM cost-down, component lifecycle and second-source risk, design reviews with contract manufacturers, and definition of test fixtures and end-of-line tests
- Manage PCB fabrication and assembly vendors on tolerance stackups, IPC class and acceptance criteria, first-article inspection, yield ramp and corrective action
- Bring up production with contract manufacturers
- Keep technical records audit-ready, including schematics, layout, BOMs, test reports and change control
- Partner with firmware, data and field teams, and with an accredited test lab on environmental and performance testing
Needed:
- BS in Electrical Engineering or a related field
- Minimum 5 years of hardware product development experience
- Minimum 3 years of experience taking complex electronics from prototype to production
- Strong background in precision analog and data acquisition design: high-voltage/high-current sensing, signal conditioning, ADC selection, noise and drift budgets, calibration and isolation
- Experience with embedded IoT hardware: MCUs, cellular/LoRa/Wi-Fi modules, sensor interfaces and low-power design
- Experience in single-fault safety and hardware-only protection design
- Experience overseeing PCB fab and assembly vendors: stackup, IPC Class 2/3 acceptance, test fixtures, first-article inspection and yield ramp
- Proven ownership of reliability and environmental test programs (thermal cycling, humidity, vibration, HALT/HASS) through failure closure
- Proven record leading product certification through NRTLs and standards bodies (UL 1741, UL/IEC 61010 or 62368, FCC Part 15, IP ratings, or similar)
- Proven DFM/DFT work: BOM cost-down, component lifecycle risk and design reviews with contract manufacturers
- Altium or KiCad
- Python for test automation and data analysis
Nice to have:
- Solar or outdoor instrumentation hardware (irradiance, IV measurement, weather-station hardware)
- Field deployment at utility-scale sites
- Startup-to-scale experience
