This hands‑on role contributes to new product development and lifecycle enhancements for existing products, working closely with our firmware, software, and mechanical engineering teams.

Core Responsibilities

• Design and develop PCB schematics, layouts, and analog and digital circuits for new and existing audio and communication products.
• Collaborate with firmware, software, and mechanical engineering teams to integrate hardware and bring new prototypes and platforms into operation.
• Bring up, test, and commission prototype boards, including bench soldering, wiring, and hardware rework or modifications as required.
• Review component datasheets, select parts for new designs, and evaluate and qualify alternate components based on performance, cost, and supply‑chain availability.
• Conduct design reviews, troubleshoot complex hardware issues, and improve product performance and reliability.
• Document designs, technical decisions, schematics, and engineering specifications.
• Develop and execute design verification test plans, develop production test plans, and design automated test jigs for production validation.
• Carry out board re‑spins and revisions for feature enhancements, reliability, and cost reduction.
• Evaluate emerging hardware technologies and apply practical solutions to design challenges.
• Take ownership of assigned hardware deliverables and technical milestones, providing realistic estimates and communicating progress, risks, and dependencies.

Required Skills and Qualifications

• Degree, diploma, or certificate in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering Technology, or equivalent practical experience.
• At least 5 years of hands‑on hardware engineering experience with demonstrated strength in schematic capture, circuit design, and multi‑layer PCB layout.
• Strong analog and digital circuit design capabilities, with a solid grasp of signal integrity, power distribution and management, and EMI/EMC design considerations.
• Proficiency with industry‑standard PCB design suites, such as Altium Designer.
• Proficiency with bench test equipment, including oscilloscopes and multimeters, and strong root‑cause troubleshooting skills.
• Practical familiarity with microcontroller‑based architectures and embedded peripherals, including I2C, SPI, UART, and Ethernet.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to convey technical trade‑offs to cross‑functional engineering peers.
• Proactive, self‑directed work ethic with the ability to ramp up quickly on new tools and hardware platforms.
• Unrestricted authorization to work in Canada without employer sponsorship.

Additional Assets

• Familiarity with logic analyzers and spectrum analyzers.
• Direct experience designing with Texas Instruments (TI) analog/power components and embedded processors.
• Experience with low‑power circuit design, power‑over‑Ethernet (PoE), or audio/voice‑frequency circuits.
• Familiarity with microcontrollers using ARM Cortex or AVR instruction sets.
• Experience with basic firmware bring‑up, scripting, or C programming for hardware validation.
• Practical knowledge of DFM/DFT (Design for Manufacturing / Testing) and transitioning designs from prototype to volume manufacturing.
• Experience guiding products through regulatory compliance and safety certifications (FCC, CE, UL/CSA).
