Hardware Development Engineer I, Relay Fleet & Yard Devices

Cargo theft and fraud cost our business hundreds of millions of dollars a year and most of it happens to trailers with no device smart enough to notice. You will design the electronics that give trailers and yards the senses to catch it on a hardware team inside a fleet tracking and telemetry organization that carries products from the lab bench to the road. Across the full hardware lifecycle (schematic and PCB design prototype bring-up test and qualification) you will build edge-compute gateways tamper-resistant GPS smart locks that act as a virtual seal tire-pressure and door sensors on-trailer cameras with collision radar and automated yard gates that read plates and raise barriers. This matters now because we are expanding into new regions and moving intelligence onto the device where a warning can fire in seconds and prevent a loss.

Key job responsibilities
- Design develop and validate hardware PCBs/PCBAs high-speed digital and RF circuitry subsystems and custom test fixtures.
- Bring up test troubleshoot and optimize hardware prototypes in a lab environment.
- Develop control and signaling algorithms that interface directly with hardware (sensors microcontrollers custom silicon).
- Collaborate cross-functionally (mechanical thermal power RF software manufacturing) to gather requirements define hardware architectures and prepare for integration.
- Identify hardware design risks and drive mitigations.
- Perform hardware checkout acceptance testing and verification against established requirements and procedures.
- Support engineering-change and configuration control (schematics BOMs drawings test procedures released documentation).
- Investigate hardware failures and support root-cause analysis and corrective actions.
- Build automated test systems test fixtures and data-collection/analysis pipelines to enable data-driven performance insights.
- Produce clear technical documentation (schematics test procedures engineering drawings design docs).
