About The Position

The Lead Hardware Engineer will build the next generation of automotive diagnostic and ADAS calibration equipment. This is a hands-on, highly visible role spanning electrical engineering, mechanical design, embedded controls, and manufacturing, with responsibility for becoming the technical owner. The role is remote in the USA and involves quarterly travel.

Requirements

• At least 6 years developing electromechanical products, with substantial electrical depth and meaningful mechanical responsibility.
• Personally carried at least one physical product from requirements through production and field support.
• Hands-on bench skills, including schematic and board review, harness fabrication, soldering and rework, and confident use of a DMM, oscilloscope, and logic analyzer.
• Practical 3D CAD skills, including GD&T and tolerance analysis.
• Builder mentality: able to work hands-on while setting direction, challenging suppliers, and developing others.
• Comfort working around vehicle sensor systems and the tight tolerances required for calibration.
• Experience close to ADAS hardware or vehicle electronics, and ability to pick up vehicle communication protocols quickly.

Responsibilities

• Own electrical architecture—including boards, harnesses, power distribution, batteries, and sensor interfaces—from schematic review through bench bring-up and failure diagnosis.
• Specify and troubleshoot embedded or PC-based controls and sensor data-acquisition systems using CAN, USB, I²C/SPI, and RS-232/485; write Python, C, or C++ utilities as needed.
• Guide mechanical design of enclosures, mounts, and fixtures, and own alignment tolerances that affect calibration accuracy.
• Apply DFM/DFA early, support pilot builds and production ramp, and partner with fabricators, molders, and contract manufacturers.
• Root-cause field and manufacturing failures and feed findings back into product design.
• Establish the hardware-development function, including standards and supplier relationships, and eventually build the team.
