Electrical Hardware Engineer

Job Description

Our growing customer is looking for a hands-on Electrical Engineer to design, build, test, and support LED-based lighting products for machine vision applications. This role owns hardware design from concept through production release and works closely with mechanical, software, optical, test, and manufacturing teams.

• Bring innovative LED lighting products to life by designing analog and digital circuits, including LED drivers, power conversion, signal conditioning, and control interfaces.
• Turn ideas into production-ready designs by creating schematics and PCB layouts using tools such as Altium, Eagle, or KiCad, with a strong focus on signal integrity, thermal performance, and EMC best practices.
• Make thoughtful, well-documented technical decisions around component selection, circuit architecture, and testing strategies while balancing requirements, lifecycle, availability, and cost.
• Solve real-world engineering challenges by applying thermal analysis and thermal management techniques for high-output LED systems.
• Support a smooth path from design to manufacturing by developing BOMs, work instructions, and supporting documentation for both new and revised products.

Job Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering preferred; Associate's degree with relevant experience considered
• 4+ years of relevant electrical hardware design experience preferred
• Experience with electrical hardware design, PCBA layout, and design for manufacturability, cost, and performance
• Working knowledge of LED technology, LED drivers, power electronics, thermal management, and electronic components
• Ability to use lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, power supplies, electronic loads, DMMs, and thermal imaging tools
• Strong troubleshooting, analytical, documentation, and communication skills
