Job description

Join a team that puts people at the center of everything.

At TLNT, we believe that recruitment is more than just filling roles — it’s about connecting humans with humans. We’re a people-first organization partnering with top U.S. companies to help them grow by attracting exceptional talent, and we know that the right content can open the right doors.

This is an excellent opportunity to grow your career with a leading US-based company — on-site in Monterrey, Nuevo León.

Our client, a leading U.S. consumer products company known for its high-performance kitchen appliances, has opened its first engineering center outside the United States in Monterrey, Nuevo León. As they bring electrical design in-house and build a new engineering lab, they’re looking for a Hardware Engineer who loves designing electronics and knows how to take a product from concept to production.

This is a hands-on role. You’ll design and develop the electronic hardware behind motor-driven consumer products, working closely with mechanical, firmware, quality, and manufacturing teams in both Mexico and the U.S.

What You’ll Do

• Design electronic hardware for new products: schematics, circuit calculations, worst-case analysis, and component selection.
• Develop and review PCB designs, working closely with layout and manufacturing teams.
• Design and integrate power supplies, motor control circuits, sensors, and power electronics for electromechanical products.
• Build and test prototypes, troubleshoot hardware issues, and drive root-cause analysis and corrective actions.
• Take designs through the NPD process: design reviews, engineering changes, prototype builds, and production readiness.
• Collaborate with firmware, mechanical, sourcing, and manufacturing teams, as well as external engineering partners and suppliers.
• Over time, take on broader ownership of verification and validation, risk analysis (DFMEA), and system-level requirements.

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Electronics, or Mechatronics Engineering.
• Approximately 5+ years of hands‑on electronic hardware design experience.
• Strong command of circuit design fundamentals: calculations, worst-case analysis, power supplies, and component selection.
• Experience with motor-driven or electromechanical products (motor control, BLDC, inverters, power stages, sensors).
• Experience working within a structured product development process at an OEM or Tier 1 (design reviews, engineering changes, prototyping).
• Ability to explain and defend your technical decisions in design reviews.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.
• Availability to work hybrid in Monterrey.

Nice to Have

• Experience with consumer appliances, power tools, automotive electronics, HVAC, or similar motor-driven products.
• Experience with DV/PV testing, EMC, reliability, or product safety and regulatory requirements (UL, IEC).
• Experience defining test plans or leading design risk analysis (DFMEA).
• Familiarity with PCB design tools such as Altium, OrCAD, Cadence, KiCad, or Mentor Graphics.
• Experience working with suppliers or contract manufacturers.

Salary & Perks

• Competitive Pay: We hire top talent and compensate accordingly.
