• 1-3 years: Relevant engineering experience
• 1+ years: Relevant software, hardware, and/or controls design experience
• Proficiency in Solidworks or related CAD software.
• Applied creativity, proactive approach, and eagerness to overcome development efforts and provide effective/successful design solutions for new products.
• Strong technical, written, oral, and team communication skills.
• Code capable in C, C++, Python, or similar

Responsibilities

• Participate in early‑phase product and system definition by collaborating with product management, industrial design, user experience, compliance, reliability, manufacturing, quality, and service stakeholders to elicit, analyze, and refine customer, business, and regulatory needs into clear system‑level requirements and constraints.
• Contribute to defining the system‑level architecture and design for embedded control systems eventually defining and owning system, subsystem, and interface requirements with traceability through implementation, verification, and validation.
• Work with internal and external teams to design, prototype, and integrate embedded software, electronics, electromechanical, and thermal subsystems into cohesive, production‑ready, mass‑manufacturable systems.
• Evaluate system designs through modeling, simulation, benchmarking, laboratory testing, and data analysis; define verification strategies and develop test procedures to validate performance, safety, and reliability requirements.
• Partner with manufacturing, suppliers, and regulatory teams to ensure system performance, safety, reliability, and cost targets are achieved.
• Present system architectures and design solutions for review by engineering peers, product teams, and leadership.
