• 401(k) with employer match – immediately vested
• HSA, pre-tax health savings program
• Flexible work schedules that promote a healthy work-life balance
• Top-tier medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Employer-paid life insurance
• Pet Insurance
• Tuition Reimbursement
• Scholarship Programs

Responsibilities:

• Balance both new product development and sustaining engineering priorities, supporting innovation while ensuring strong performance of released products.
• Partner with cross-functional teams (engineering, manufacturing, quality, purchasing, and vendors) to define requirements, solve technical issues, release designs, and improve product reliability.
• New product Development (Approx. 50%)
• Participate in R&D efforts including feasibility studies, architecture decisions, design reviews, prototype builds, validation, and product release planning.
• Translate product requirements into electrical system designs for instrumentation and flow measurement products.
• Design across analog and digital circuitry, microcontrollers, communications interfaces, sensing, signal conditioning, and power systems.
• Perform schematic capture and provide input for PCB/PCA design, including design-for-manufacturing (DFM) and design-for-test (DFT) considerations.
• Develop and test breadboards, prototypes, and proof-of-concept circuits to validate designs and reduce technical risk.
• Plan and execute electrical verification and validation testing, including hardware/firmware interaction, communications, and environmental performance.
• Support regulatory and compliance efforts (EMC/CE, safety, certifications), including pre-compliance testing and design updates.
• Create and maintain engineering documentation such as BOMs, schematics, PCB files, drawings, test procedures, and design records.
• Provide electrical engineering support for released products, including production builds, customer issues, field returns, and service needs.
• Troubleshoot issues across component, circuit, PCA, product, and system levels, including hardware, firmware, and software interactions.
• Investigate production test failures, customer returns, and reliability issues using structured root-cause and corrective action methods.
• Evaluate alternative components, obsolescence (EOL), supply chain challenges, and cost-reduction opportunities while maintaining product performance and compliance.
• Design, maintain, and improve PCA test fixtures, production test methods, troubleshooting guides, and manufacturing documentation.
• Implement engineering changes (ECO/ECN), including updates to schematics, PCB/PCA designs, BOMs, and work instructions.
• Coordinate product changes and releases with manufacturing and production team.
• Collaborate with manufacturing, quality, purchasing, and vendors to resolve issues, improve yield, reduce rework, and sustain long-term product availability.

Required Qualifications:

• 2–4 years of electrical engineering experience in instrumentation, industrial electronics, or similar product environments.

• Experience with schematic capture and support of PCB/PCA design, including layout reviews and production documentation.

• Working knowledge of microcontrollers, analog and digital circuits, communications interfaces, sensing, and signal conditioning.

• Ability to support both new product development and sustaining engineering, including prototyping, testing, troubleshooting, and engineering changes.

• Experience with PCA test fixtures, production testing, and failure analysis.

• Hands-on skills including soldering, rework, breadboarding, and lab equipment use.

• Strong troubleshooting skills at the component level with clear documentation of root cause and corrective actions.

• Familiarity with BOMs, drawings, ECO/ECN processes, and manufacturing workflows.

• Proficient with Microsoft Office and engineering documentation tools.

• Other duties as assigned.

• This role is based on-site and requires regular work across both our Marina and Monterey, CA locations.

Preferred Q ualifications:

• Experience with Altium Designer and PADS.
• Familiarity with EMC/CE design practices, including compliance, pre-compliance evaluation, and certification testing.
• Knowledge of digital communication hardware and protocols such as RS232, RS485, USB, MODBUS, Profibus, Foundation Fieldbus, BACnet, HART, Ethernet, or similar industrial standards.
• Experience with ERP systems (preferably Epicor), including working with part records, BOMs, ECOs, and production documentation.
• Mechanically inclined, with the ability to read blueprints, assembly drawings, and manufacturing documentation.
• Understanding of modern circuit design practices, including component selection, design for manufacturability (DFM), design for testability (DFT), and lifecycle management.
• Exposure to measurement technologies for temperature, pressure, and flow applications.
• Experience supporting fielded products, including production yield improvements, supplier-driven component changes, cost reduction initiatives, reliability improvements, or customer return investigations.

Traits:

• Balances creative product development with practical, sustaining-engineering judgment.
• Works independently under pressure and adapts quickly to changing priorities.
• Positive, optimistic, collaborative, and service-oriented mindset.
• Strong communicator, able to explain technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
