NOTE: This will be an in-person position at our Marathon, FL office location. Relocation assistance may be available.

Coastal Source strives to create the most durable and high-performance outdoor living products on the market. We are proud of the products we create and our team that stands behind them. We are working to build a world-class experience for our customers.

We are looking for a versatile and innovative Electrical Engineer. Reporting directly to the VP of Design & Engineering, the Electrical Engineer will work closely with the R&D department and the CEO. This is a hands-on engineering role based in the Florida Keys, a region that offers both unique environmental challenges and lifestyle benefits.

About You

You are a seasoned electrical engineer with hands-on experience in product development and electrical design. You specialize in low-voltage LED lighting systems, audio amplifier circuits, passive and active crossover networks, and 120V AC electrical systems. You bring a deep understanding of LED drivers, constant current/voltage systems, and power electronics, complemented by strong proficiency in circuit simulation and design tools. With extensive experience using test and measurement equipment, you are well-versed in validating and optimizing designs across a range of conditions. In addition, you have a solid background in embedded control systems, a keen understanding of electrical safety standards, surge protection strategies, EMI/EMC best practices, and the principles of thermal management and environmental sealing—ensuring robust and reliable product performance in real-world applications.

Key Qualifications

• B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• 3+ years of experience in product development or electrical design with focus areas including:
• Low-voltage LED lighting systems (12V/24V)
• Passive and active crossover network design
• 120V AC electrical systems
• Strong understanding of LED drivers, constant current/voltage systems, and power electronics.
• Proficient in circuit simulation and design software (e.g., Altium Designer, KiCad).
• Experience with test and measurement equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, audio analyzers, thermal cameras, etc.).
• Familiarity with embedded control systems (e.g., PLC, DMX, DALI, 0-10V, Bluetooth, Zigbee).
• Understanding electrical safety, surge protection, and EMI/EMC design practices.
• Ability to design thermal management and environmental sealing.
• Familiarity with marine-grade or outdoor-rated enclosures, IP ratings, and conformal coatings.
• Knowledge of photometric testing and lighting simulations.
• Experience in high-end residential or commercial lighting and audio installations.
• Knowledge of PLC, DMX, 0-10V, DALI, and audio signal routing (balanced/unbalanced).
• Background in outdoor lighting and audio design.

What You’ll Do

• Design and develop advanced low-voltage LED lighting systems, including custom drivers, dimming interfaces, control circuits, and thermal management solutions.
• Engineer high-performance audio solutions, including power amplifiers, preamps, and passive/active speaker crossover networks.
• Work with 120V AC systems, ensuring safe integration with lighting and audio infrastructure per NEC code and UL standards.
• Develop and maintain schematics, PCB layouts, BOMs, and technical documentation using modern design tools.
• Perform prototyping, testing, troubleshooting, and validation of electrical systems for performance, durability, and compliance.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including mechanical design, acoustics, manufacturing, and product management.
• Ensure designs meet environmental and electrical requirements unique to harsh outdoor environment (salt air, heat, humidity, hurricane exposure, etc).
• Provide support for prototyping, production, and field deployments, including occasional hands-on installation assistance.

Why Work in the FL Keys?

The Florida Keys offer a unique lifestyle and engineering opportunity—combining island living with challenging design conditions:

• Design products for real-world coastal environments affected by salt spray, UV exposure, and extreme weather.
• Join a small, dynamic team of professionals who value hands-on experimentation and craftsmanship.
• Collaborate on premium, design-driven products in an environment where creativity and problem-solving are paramount.
• Enjoy a laid-back island lifestyle with access to boating, diving, fishing, and nature—no long commutes or urban congestion.
• Live where others vacation—sunshine, ocean breezes, and natural beauty are part of your everyday work environment.
