Electrical Engineer — Embedded Hardware & EMI/EMC

Advanced Input Systems; Coeur d'Alene (ID); On-site; USD 90,000 - 120,000; Full time

Job summary

1HMX is seeking an Electrical Engineer to drive hardware design from schematics to manufacturing for embedded systems used in HMI solutions. You will work with cross-functional teams and customers to bring robust products to production.

Ideal candidates have hands-on PCB layout, sensor interface design, EMC/EMI experience, and familiarity with ISO/UL testing. This role is based in Coeur d'Alene, with domestic travel as needed.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• Minimum of three years of relevant electronic hardware design experience.
• Strong hands-on schematic capture and PCB layout experience (OrCAD Capture/Allegro, Altium, or similar).
• Experience with sensor interface design; capacitive touch, resistive, or similar HMI sensing is a strong plus.
• Working knowledge of designing for manufacturability, design for speed, and EMC compliance.
• Ability to manage multiple assignments and work effectively with technicians, vendors, contractors, and cross-functional teams.

Responsibilities

• Design and own schematics for embedded electronics, including microcontroller/touch-controller subsystems, analog front-ends, power supplies, and sensor interface circuits.
• Lay out PCBs in Cadence Allegro/OrCAD (or guide contract layout designers), balancing signal integrity, EMI/EMC, and manufacturability.
• Select and qualify components with sourcing/lifecycle risk in mind.
• Build and debug prototypes on the bench: scope work, noise/EMI troubleshooting, thermal and power validation.
• Design for manufacturability, EMC compliance, and reliability, incorporating industry-standard interfaces (RS-232/RS-485, USB, CAN, Ethernet, etc.).
• Support development of Functional and Test Specifications and assist the factory test group with test program and fixture development.
• Participate in design reviews with Manufacturing to confirm the product is producible.
• Partner closely with firmware/software engineering to define hardware-software interfaces.
• Work with customers, under guidance from senior engineers, to help clarify design definitions and requirements.
• Produce and maintain design documentation, fixtures, and tooling deliverables required to deliver a quality part on time.
• Communicate effectively, verbally and in writing, with customers, vendors, and factory personnel.
