About The Position

The Design Engineer II – Electrical is responsible for owning and delivering electrical and embedded hardware subsystems within connected products. This role contributes to the design, development, validation, and support of PCB-based electronic systems throughout the hardware development lifecycle. This role also contributes to delivering connected hardware solutions that enable real-time farm and grain monitoring through integrated embedded systems.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or related field, or equivalent experience.
3–7 years of experience in electrical or embedded system design.
Experience designing embedded electronic systems and PCB-based hardware, including schematics and layout.
Understanding the hardware development lifecycle, including design, prototyping, validation, and support.
Experience hardware testing, debugging, and root cause analysis.
Familiarity with embedded systems, microcontrollers, and hardware/software interfaces.
Experience integrating electrical subsystems with firmware, sensors, and mechanical systems.
Understanding design principles, including manufacturability, reliability, and cost optimization.
Awareness of regulatory and compliance considerations for electronic systems.
Strong problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to diagnose and resolve technical issues within the scope.
Ability to evaluate design tradeoffs and make effective engineering decisions.
Ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment.
Strong communication skills and willingness to learn

Nice To Haves

Experience with PCB design and electronic design tools (e.g., Altium, Eplan, or similar)
Experience with hardware validation, test equipment, and debugging tools.
Experience with microcontroller-based systems and embedded architecture.
Familiarity with communication interfaces (e.g., CAN, SPI, USB, Ethernet).
Experience with wireless-enabled systems (e.g., LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth).
Experience with EMI/EMC, ESD, and signal integrity considerations.
Experience supporting products through regulatory certification (UL, FCC, CSA, ATEX).

Responsibilities

Own delivery of electrical subsystems from design through validation.
Generate schematics, PCB layouts, Bills-Of-Materials, and design documentation.
Execute hardware development lifecycle activities, including prototyping and testing.
Evaluate design tradeoffs to balance performance, cost, and complexity within the subsystem scope.
Perform internal product testing and evaluate products for compliance with design criteria.
Product validation and verification testing to ensure the product meets required standards (FCC, CE, CSA, UL/cUL, ATEX) and revise designs as needed.
Integrate electrical subsystems with firmware, sensors, and mechanical systems to ensure system-level performance.
Apply design principles, including manufacturability, reliability, and cost optimization, to develop robust solutions.
Identify technical risks and issues early and drive them to resolution.
Conduct analysis to find the root cause of hardware or low-level software design issues in existing or new products and generate detailed reports to document the findings and resolutions.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including firmware, mechanical, and manufacturing.
Contribute to technical design decisions within the assigned subsystem scope.
