Job description

We are seeking a mid-level Electrical Engineer to own board-level hardware design from initial architecture through volume production. In this fully remote role, you will design complex, high-density mixed-signal boards, drive bring-up in your home lab, and interface directly with tier-1 contract manufacturers to launch reliable hardware at scale.

Responsibilities

• Lead schematic capture, component selection, and multi-layer PCB layout for embedded compute and power distribution systems.

• Execute prototype board bring-up, functional validation, signal integrity analysis, and root-cause failure investigations.

• Collaborate closely with firmware, mechanical, and systems teams to define hardware architecture, power budgets, and physical form factors.

• Drive Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Test (DFT) processes in lockstep with contract manufacturers during NPI phases.

• Design and document custom test fixtures and automated validation routines to accelerate production testing.

• Oversee regulatory compliance and pre-compliance testing, including FCC, CE, EMC/EMI, and safety standards.

Requirements

• 3 to 6 years of experience shipping commercial hardware from concept to volume manufacturing.

• Demonstrated expertise with professional ECAD platforms (Altium Designer preferred) for high-density, high-speed multi-layer board design.

• Strong foundation in mixed-signal design, power topologies (SMPS, LDO, battery management systems), and high-speed protocols (SPI, I2C, USB, PCIe).

• Hands-on proficiency with bench test equipment: high-bandwidth oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and rework tools.

• Strong independent project management capability with a disciplined approach to version control, bill of materials (BOM) management, and component lifecycle risk.

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience designing RF circuitry and integrating wireless modules (BLE, Wi-Fi, cellular, or GNSS).

• Ability to write basic embedded firmware (C/C++) or test automation scripts (Python) for hardware verification.

• Direct experience conducting on-site or remote manufacturing line bring-up with international contract manufacturers.

What We Offer

• Competitive base compensation with meaningful early-stage equity.

• 100% remote flexibility with a dedicated home lab stipend for test equipment, tooling, and rapid prototyping.

• Comprehensive healthcare coverage (medical, dental, vision) with full company-paid premiums for employees.

• Uncapped PTO policy with mandatory minimums to ensure continuous sustainability.

• Annual hardware education and conference budget.
