• Stable executive and engineering team.
• Flat organizational structure.

What will you be doing? 

• Own digital and analog electrical design with creativity and technical skill.
• Turn ideas into robust, manufacturable designs through schematic capture.
• Lead design verification and validation, from board bring-up to troubleshooting and performance tuning.
• Test designs with HALT and DO-160G to ensure reliability in tough conditions.
• Produce concise technical documentation, including HALT summaries, test procedures, and product drawings.
• Own subsystems and tasks, meeting internal, customer, and timeline requirements.
• Drive engineering improvements with the sustaining team for better manufacturability and robustness.
• Evaluate new technologies and tools to drive product innovation.
• Participate in design reviews—presenting work and providing constructive feedback.

What skills/experience do you need? 

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• Mid- or senior-level experience in hardware engineering.
