• Support embedded hardware development involving microcontrollers, sensors, wireless communication modules, power management circuits, and battery-powered systems.
• Conduct circuit simulation, analysis, and design verification testing.
• Troubleshoot and resolve electronic hardware issues discovered during prototype, validation, or production phases.
• Collaborate with mechanical engineers, firmware developers, manufacturing teams, and suppliers throughout the product development lifecycle.
• Develop and execute test procedures for prototype and production hardware.
• Support design for manufacturability (DFM), design for testability (DFT), and product reliability initiatives.
• Investigate product failures and implement corrective actions to improve quality and performance.
• Manage PCB fabrication and contract manufacturing vendors during prototype and production builds.
• Maintain engineering documentation including schematics, BOMs, ECOs, and technical reports.
• Support regulatory compliance testing and product certification activities when required.

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related engineering discipline.

• Experience designing multi-layer PCBs and working through prototype-to-production transitions.
• Knowledge of microcontrollers, embedded electronics, sensors, communication protocols, and power electronics.
• Ability to read and create electrical schematics and technical drawings.
• Experience troubleshooting electronic circuits using oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, and other laboratory equipment.
• Familiarity with engineering change processes, BOM management, and manufacturing support activities.
• Strong communication skills and ability to work within a collaborative product development team.

• Experience with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, RF, or wireless communication technologies.
• Familiarity with embedded firmware development and coding languages such as C/C++.
• Experience with battery-powered products and power management systems.
• Knowledge of EMC/EMI, UL, FCC, and CE compliance requirements.
• Experience supporting contract manufacturers and electronics production environments.
• Familiarity with product lifecycle management (PLM) systems.
• Previous experience in consumer products, sporting goods, wearable technology, or connected devices.
• 10+ years of PCB design experience preferred, although candidates with relevant experience may be considered in lieu of a degree.
