• Write, test, and troubleshoot embedded software and firmware in C and C++ to ensure our powered systems operate flawlessly.
• Solve complex challenges involving DC motor controls, lithium battery applications, and human‑machine interfaces.
• Collaborate directly with our manufacturing, quality, and R&D teams on the shop floor to resolve active product issues and improve designs.
• Guide technical improvements based on real‑world feedback, occasionally interacting with field teams or customers to understand how our equipment performs in action.

Qualifications

• A Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related technical field.
• 2-5+ years of hands‑on experience in electrical engineering, ideally within a manufacturing or physical product environment.
• Proven capability in PCBA design, specifically utilizing Altium Designer.
• Strong proficiency in writing and debugging embedded software and firmware using C and C++.
• Practical experience working with DC motor controls and lithium battery technologies.
• A collaborative mindset with the communication skills needed to work across departments and thrive in an iterative, fast‑paced setting.

Our team values practical problem-solving and a willingness to learn through iteration. We offer a competitive base salary, a strong year‑end incentive program, and unlimited PTO, all within a supportive environment where your contributions are highly visible.
