We are seeking a Embedded Hardware Engineer to serve as our technical anchor for the Motorization hardware platform — a hands-on, high-autonomy individual contributor role for an engineer who wants to own designs end-to-end rather than manage a team. You will take embedded electronics from concept through certification and high-volume production, working across mixed-signal, RF, power, and motor-drive circuits, and will be the go-to Altium and RF expert for the group.About You:Ownership, drive, and a strong sense of urgency — you'd rather be deep in a schematic or a debug session than in a status meetingA demonstrated track record of taking consumer hardware (ideally battery-operated, wireless) from concept to shipped productComfortable being the senior technical voice in the room — mentoring junior engineers and reviewing others' designs — without needing to be their people managerAble to work across disciplines (ME, ID, firmware, manufacturing, contract manufacturers) to get a design into production8+ years of hands-on embedded electronics design experience, including complex mixed-signal and RF systemWhat You'll Do:Architect, design, and lay out schematics and PCBs for motorized window covering products and accessories, including low-power/battery, BLE, Wi-Fi, and Zigbee RF designsOwn antenna design, matching, and RF certification support (FCC, UL/Demko, UKCA, CE) for wireless products in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bandsDesign and evaluate battery management and rechargeable battery systems, including battery chemistry, charge/discharge behavior, and safetyDesign DC motor drive circuitry and support magnetic Hall-effect sensor / quadrature encoding for motion controlBe the company's Altium expert: schematic entry, library and component management, AVL/alternate-component strategy, and production data pack creationWork directly with prototype and production PCB/CCA suppliers, and with test/manufacturing technicians to debug and resolve hardware issuesSupport the full product development lifecycle — from early concept and feasibility through EVT/DVT, certification, and sustaining engineering — partnering closely with firmware, mechanical, and industrial design teamsDrive supply chain and cost-reduction efforts through component selection, AVL management, and design-for-manufacturing improvementsMentor and provide technical guidance to junior engineers and technicians without formal management responsibilityQualifications and KSIs:Expert knowledge of electronic circuit design (especially battery-operated, RF devices), simulation, PCB layout, verification, and debugExpert-level Altium PCBA design skills, including library/component management and Altium 365Prior experience with firmware/embedded software development (C/C++) sufficient to collaborate closely with firmware engineers on hardware/software integrationSolid knowledge of serial communication protocols including I2C, SPI, SMBus, CAN, and PWMWorking knowledge of FCC wireless standards and debugging techniques, and experience taking consumer products through UL/Demko safety certificationKnowledge of battery chemistries and charge/discharge propertiesKnowledge of DC motor control techniques and circuitsExperience with multiboard, flex, and harness design across a full system (not just a single board)Demonstrable analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts in business termsAbility to independently exercise judgment in technical decisions and to review/approve the work of other engineersBS in Electrical Engineering or equivalent hands-on experienceWhat's in it for you?Annual base salary range: $140,000 - $155,000Bonus target range: 25% - 35%Generous benefits package including medical, dental, vision, life, disabilityA company culture that prioritizes internal development and professional growthTime off with pay 401(k) plan with a degree of employer matchingPaid parental leaveWellness programs and product discountsPlease note, all offers presented to candidates are carefully crafted to ensure market competitiveness, equity, and reflect the individual candidate’s education, experience, skills and potential.Hunter Douglas is an Equal Opportunity Employer and complies with applicable employment laws.
