• 3–6 years of experience in electrical or embedded systems engineering
• Strong background in analog and digital circuit design, electro-mechanical systems, and wireless/cellular connectivity
• Experience with low-power embedded systems, including battery- and solar-powered applications
• Experience with microcontrollers and single-board computers
• Hands-on experience with electronic test equipment (oscilloscopes, ADC/data acquisition systems)
• Experience with PCB design tools (Altium preferred; OrCAD or similar acceptable)
• Strong systems thinking and understanding of engineering principles
• Excellent troubleshooting and electro-mechanical problem-solving skills
• Strong project management, organization, and prioritization abilities
• Ability to work across mechanical, software, and field engineering teams
• Clear and effective communicator (written and verbal)
• High attention to detail with ability to manage multiple priorities
• Comfortable working directly with internal stakeholders and external customers

Nice To Haves

Responsibilities

• Lead and support the development of embedded electronics systems from concept through design, simulation, prototyping, testing, and production readiness
• Design, document, and prototype hardware solutions including analog/digital circuits and embedded system components
• Develop and maintain embedded firmware and operating systems
• Manage sustaining engineering efforts as well as new product development initiatives within the electronics team
• Partner with third-party design vendors to review, optimize, and integrate outsourced hardware and firmware solutions
• Provide technical support to internal teams including sales, customer service, field service, and applications engineering
• Investigate and troubleshoot field issues, including failure analysis of returned systems and implementation of corrective actions
• Perform verification and validation testing on prototypes and production systems
• Create and maintain technical documentation such as user manuals, datasheets, and troubleshooting guides
• Support remote monitoring and administration of deployed friction control assets
• Travel to customer and supplier sites as needed
• Contribute to additional engineering and project needs as assigned
