• Prepare technology specifications and proposals to support scalable, cost-effective designs.
• Deliver proof-of-concept prototypes with DFMEA documentation.
• Define and execute validation plans, including alpha/beta testing and stress testing (DVP&R).
• Optimize designs for manufacturability and seamless system integration.
• Produce technical documentation and white papers for internal knowledge sharing.
• Maintain accurate revision control throughout the development lifecycle.

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of experience in hardware and circuit design.
• Proficiency with Altium or similar CADD tools for schematic and PCB design.
• Hands-on experience with embedded systems (RTOS/Linux) and programming in C, C++, or Python.
• Strong knowledge of CANBus and SAE J1939 protocols.
• Familiarity with GHz-class microprocessors and wireless technologies (Bluetooth, cellular).
• Skilled in using lab equipment such as oscilloscopes and logic analyzers.
• Understanding of PCB manufacturing and design for production.
• Knowledge of device-to-cloud embedded architecture.

Education

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field required.
• Advanced degree or graduate coursework preferred.
