Hardware Engineer

The Hardware Design Engineer will be responsible for developing microcontroller-based control systems and analog circuits for battery charging, sensor feedback, and control systems. Requires analytical and communication skills to implement designs based on internal requirements and customer direction.

· Electronic product design of both digital and analog circuitry. (Schematic, Layout) 

· Develop Engineering/Product documentation.

· Electronic product/system debugging, testing and validation.

· Develop and execute test plans.

· Provide input to development schedules.

· Interface with engineering team members, internal departments (manufacturing, purchasing), and external customers on new design and support.

· Direct the work of technicians.

· Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience.

· 0-5 years of experience in circuit-level electronic hardware design and development

· 1 years of experience in a product development role preferred.

· Familiarity with 8-, 16-, and 32-bit microcontroller architecture for embedded systems.

· Ability to modify and manage BOMs using software applications.

· Direct experience with power electronics (MOSFETs, IGBTs, H-bridges, motor control) preferred.

· Experience with Microchip or ARM microcontrollers preferred

· Experience with EMC testing and compliance is a plus

· Mechanical aptitude and ability to work with mechanical systems is a strong plus.

· Work both independently and in a team environment on a variety of products with good communication and written skills.

· Time management on multiple concurrent projects in a fast-paced environment. 

· Ability to meet physical requirements (carry or lift material up to 10lbs) of the job including sitting and standing, and performing repetitive motions required for proper assembly with or without reasonable accommodation

· Ability to operate tools machinery or office equipment safely.

· Ability to work near moving mechanical parts and moderate noise levels.

· Ability to wear required personal protective equipment (PPE)

Preffered Skills:

· CAD tools for schematics and layout (Altium Designer preferred)

· Knowledge of communication buses/protocols (RS-485, RS-232, MODBUS, CAN, I2C).

· Interest in analog power systems a plus

· Circuit debugging using standard electronic test equipment and PSpice analysis.

· Understanding thermal management in power electronics.

· Familiarity with Agile PLM.
