About The Position

The Electrical Engineer designs and verifies digital and analog control systems for power tools, including both hardware and firmware, with a focus on battery management systems (BMS). Prior BMS experience is not required. The role covers circuit schematic and PCB layout development, component selection, bill of materials (BOM) generation, firmware architecture and development, production testing documentation, and the creation and execution of verification tests and other pre-production steps.

The position calls for someone willing to learn, able to work across hardware and software, and comfortable with both hands-on work such as PCB rework and measurement equipment and analytical work such as simulation and calculations. Strong time-management skills and a production-focused mindset are important. The engineer works in a small, collegial group of electrical and embedded engineers, takes ownership of new projects, and may interact with component manufacturers. Travel to Asia may be required, typically 0% and up to 5% of the time.

Requirements

• Minimum bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or an equivalent degree.
• Internship and/or co-op experience.
• Knowledge of the C programming language and some experience with microcontroller programming.
• Comfort setting up and performing hardware tests using common test and measurement equipment, including oscilloscopes, multimeters, and power supplies.
• Ability to explain technical issues to technical and non-technical audiences in email, PowerPoint, and meetings.
• Willingness to learn new technical skills and work across both software and hardware.
• Strong time-management skills and a production-focused mindset.
• Comfort with hands-on work and analytical approaches to engineering problems.

Nice To Haves

• Embedded battery management system experience, particularly with Li-ion batteries.
• Experience with power electronics design and testing, such as motor control or AC/DC and DC/DC conversion.
• Experience with SPICE modeling software such as LTSpice or Multism.
• Proficiency with PCB layout and development tools, particularly Altium.
• Experience with firmware design and architecture on a large software project in collaboration with other team members.
• Experience and interest in working on power-tool products and home improvement.

Responsibilities

• Design and verify hardware and firmware for digital and analog power-tool control systems, particularly battery management systems.
• Develop circuit schematics and PCB layouts, select components, and generate bills of materials.
• Develop firmware architecture and firmware.
• Create production testing documents and create and execute verification tests and other pre-production steps.
• Perform hands-on hardware work, including PCB rework and use of test and measurement equipment.
• Approach engineering problems using theoretical methods such as simulation and calculations.
• Communicate technical issues to technical and non-technical audiences through email, PowerPoint, and meetings.
• Travel to Asia as necessary, typically 0% and up to 5%.

Benefits

• Formal onboarding for two years.
• Optional leadership development program.
• Mentorship.
• Continuing education reimbursement.
• Technical and managerial promotional tracks.
• Support for test equipment and materials.
• On-site gym.
• Cafeteria.
• Access to outdoor acreage for walking, jogging, and biking, including a mapped woods trail.
• Team-building extracurricular activities.
• Ownership of new projects and the opportunity to see products on store shelves.
• Collegial small-group work environment and interaction with component manufacturers.
