Job description

We are looking for an exceptional Electrical Engineer with 2‑5 years of experience who can develop creative, robust solutions to complex problems. Your skills demonstrate a broad base of practical knowledge, yet you have the ability to ‘go theoretical’ to attain the necessary results. You are motivated to document and communicate the elements of your designs to teammates and to contribute to teams from multiple disciplines including mechanical, electrical, software, human factors engineers, industrial and human interface designers, usability specialists, and design strategists. Work onsite in our Boston studio about three days a week on average.

Responsibilities

• Primary: develop board‑level solutions for embedded systems, including cabling, EMC, and process‑driven documentation.
• Secondary: contribute to multi‑discipline system architecture (electronics, software, mechanical systems).
• Electronics prototyping; combining evaluation boards with custom circuits, sensors, motors, and other peripheral hardware.
• Mixed‑signal circuit design; design, simulation, and prototyping of analog and digital systems largely for embedded applications, medical devices, and robotics platforms.
• PCBA design; schematic capture, PCB layout, and layout management.
• Design documentation for first‑generation devices; generating design requirements, hardware descriptions, V&V test documentation, etc.
• Participate in EMC and safety testing per project requirements; identify design safety and compliance risks, prepare and test device and/or electrical subsystems, troubleshoot, and revise electrical designs.
• Presenting to internal teams as well as external clients and stakeholders; regularly build presentations and reports to drive brainstorming, communicate designs, and share status updates.

Requirements

• BSEE or equivalent from an accredited engineering program – an advanced degree or specialized industry experience is a plus.
• 2‑5 years of electrical engineering experience.
• Analog, digital, and mixed‑signal circuit development and troubleshooting.
• Design, implementation, and rework of board‑level circuit design, especially targeted toward embedded systems.
• PCB layout.
• Cabling design and assembly.
• Practical working knowledge of design for electromagnetic compatibility.
• Excellent lab, instrumentation, and analysis skills.
• Ability to answer questions in a clear manner.
• Ability to manage time and risk as it relates to the project scope.
• Ability to communicate status and risks to managers in a timely manner.

Nice to Have

• Demonstrated experience in several of the following areas: embedded systems programming; programmable logic design (FPGA, CPLD) and digital simulation; wireless systems and module integration (e.g., RFID, Bluetooth, Wi‑Fi, LoRa); wireless system design, including transceiver design, antenna design, and baseband development; sensor technologies, etc.
