Electronics Engineer

Electronics Engineer San Diego, CA $115k-$140k plus profit sharing Summary We are looking for a hands-on Electronics Engineer to help design, build, and improve electronic hardware for our products. You will work closely with our Principal Electrical Engineer and collaborate with R&D, Production, and Quality. This is an opportunity to contribute to real designs now and grow into broader project ownership as you learn our products. Responsibilities Design electronic circuits and create schematics for embedded hardware, including microcontroller interfaces, analog signals, analog-to-digital conversion, and communication interfaces. Contribute directly to PCB layout and PCBA design, including component selection, design reviews, prototype builds, and board revisions. Develop and test prototypes; use measurements, simulations, and practical troubleshooting to diagnose and resolve board-level and system issues. Work with firmware, mechanical, manufacturing, and quality colleagues to move designs from concept through testing and production. Document designs, test findings, changes, and technical decisions clearly. Support production troubleshooting and product improvements. Learn our thermal-measurement products and, with experience in the role, take increasing ownership of assigned design work and projects. This is a hands-on hardware role with no direct reports. Firmware development and formal people management are not primary responsibilities. Requirements Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, electronics engineering, or a closely related field. Approximately 3-5 years of relevant, hands-on electronic hardware design experience. We will consider candidates based on demonstrated skills and ownership, not a rigid year count. Experience creating schematics and working directly on PCB layout or PCBA design, with examples of boards you helped take through prototype, testing, and revision. Working knowledge of embedded microcontrollers and surrounding circuitry, plus analog or mixed-signal design fundamentals.Ability to troubleshoot circuits and assembled boards using appropriate lab equipment and a methodical approach. Comfort working across different parts of a product in a small, collaborative engineering team. Exposure to product development from early design through manufacturing, integration testing, or board repair. Enthusiasm and curiosity about engineering in general and electrical/ electronic engineering specifically. Experience with Altium Designer or a comparable schematic and PCB layout tool preferred. Experience with thermal measurement, thermocouples, sensor interfaces, or analog-to-digital conversion preferred. Exposure to FPGA logic or Verilog is welcome but is not required. The mindset we value We are looking for someone who is genuinely curious about electronics and enjoys solving design problems. You ask thoughtful questions, dig into issues instead of waiting for step-by-step direction, and can explain what you tried and learned. You are excited to learn from an experienced engineer, share ideas, and keep improving a design through the less glamorous testing and troubleshooting work as well as the creative design work.
