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.
