Job description

We are seeking an experienced Senior Electric Design Engineer to join an established engineering and manufacturing organization in the Austin, TX area.

This position is ideal for a hands‑on engineer with strong expertise in analog and digital circuit design, embedded hardware development, PCB design using Altium Designer, and hardware debugging and validation.

The successful candidate will take ownership of electrical designs from initial concept and schematic development through prototyping, testing, manufacturing release, and production support.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and develop analog and digital circuits for embedded electronic systems, including microprocessor-based designs and analog front‑end circuitry.
• Create schematics and PCB layouts using Altium Designer.
• Perform hands‑on hardware development, prototyping, troubleshooting, and debugging.
• Design electrical hardware to meet EMI/EMC, safety, and reliability requirements.
• Develop and execute verification and validation test procedures for hardware and embedded software.
• Prepare manufacturing documentation, including schematics, PCB design files, Bills of Materials (BOMs), and production release packages.
• Support design transfer to manufacturing and resolve production‑related engineering issues.
• Collaborate with firmware, software, mechanical, quality, and manufacturing teams throughout product development.
• Maintain engineering documentation and product information within ERP systems.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or equivalent technical experience.
• 5+ years of hands‑on electrical hardware design experience.
• Proficiency with Altium Designer for schematic capture and PCB layout is REQUIRED.
• Strong experience designing analog and digital circuits for embedded systems.
• Experience with microprocessors, analog front‑end circuitry, and PCB design.
• Hands‑on experience building, testing, debugging, and troubleshooting electronic hardware.
• Working knowledge of EMI/EMC design principles, safety, and reliability requirements.
• Experience with hardware verification, validation, and test documentation.
• Experience preparing manufacturing documentation packages, schematics, and BOMs.
• Familiarity with embedded software development tools and ERP systems.
• Strong problem‑solving, technical communication, and cross‑functional collaboration skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with real‑time embedded software development or programming.
• Familiarity with PLC/HMI‑based control systems.
• Experience supporting new product introduction (NPI), manufacturing transfer, and production troubleshooting.
• Experience with electronic test equipment, simulation tools, and design validation.

Ideal Candidate

We are particularly interested in engineers who have personally designed and laid out PCBs using Altium Designer, built and debugged embedded electronic hardware, and successfully transferred designs into production.

This is a hands‑on engineering role requiring demonstrated technical ownership—not solely design review, project coordination, or engineering management experience.

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
• 401(k) retirement plan with company match
• Employee stock purchase plan with company match
• Company‑paid basic life insurance
• Paid vacation, sick leave, holidays, parental and bereavement leave
• Employee education assistance program
• Gym membership reimbursement
• Employee recognition and appreciation programs

Why Join Us?

Enjoy a stable, collaborative engineering environment with opportunities for long‑term career growth, hands‑on product development, and meaningful technical challenges.
