Applications Engineer

In-System Programming / Applications Engineer

We are seeking junior-level to mid-level Electrical/Electronics Engineers with strong fundamentals in circuit analysis and hands-on hardware development to support in-system programming and board-level test solution development. This role blends analog/digital circuit understanding, embedded systems, and engineering tool development in a lab-focused environment.

Location: Arlington, WA

Job Type: Permanent / Direct Hire

Responsibilities:

• Design, analyze, and develop circuit-level test and validation solutions for electronic assemblies
• Perform detailed circuit analysis and troubleshooting using fundamental electrical engineering principles
• Develop and support microcontroller-based programming and control solutions for embedded systems
• Design, debug, and validate analog and digital circuits including protection, biasing, and signal conditioning
• Write and maintain embedded and engineering support software (C/C++, Python) for automation, data parsing, and device programming
• Build and test hardware solutions in a lab environment using standard electronic measurement equipment
• Work closely with internal teams and customers to support solution development and deployment

Requirements:

• Education – Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent
• Electrical/Electronics – 2 to 5 years experience; strong academic foundation or hands-on exposure to electronics design, testing, or embedded systems; electronics manufacturing environment background preferred
• Circuit Analysis – Strong understanding of analog and digital circuit theory (including op-amps, diodes, transistors, and relay-based circuits)
• Mathematics – Ability to perform circuit analysis using fundamental techniques (e.g., transfer functions, system response concepts)
• Embedded Systems – Experience with microcontrollers and basic hardware interfacing
• Programming – Working knowledge of C, C++, Python, or similar; Python experience for automation and data processing would be nice
• Test Equipment – Hands-on experience with oscilloscopes, DMMs, and standard lab tools
• Computer – Proficient in Microsoft Office applications and Windows-based environments
• Soft Skills – Strong communication skills, analytical thinking, customer-focused and problem-solving mindset, ability to work independently and in cross-functional environments
• Travel – Willingness to travel as needed (primarily in the Seattle Metro area)

Benefits: Work in an innovative environment with potential for patent involvement, and enjoy competitive compensation based on experience, flexible work environment, comprehensive healthcare coverage (medical, dental, vision), paid time off, retirement plan with employer contribution, and employee recognition/bonus programs.
