Senior Electrical Design Engineer
About The Position
Simplifying the Complex. Simplexity is a product development engineering firm, hired by leading technology companies to design their next generation products. In an industry of overly-complex design and production, we strive for simplicity, reducing product cost and improving reliability for our clients through our Product Development Process. Simplexity promotes an inclusive work environment with equitable opportunities for all employees. We believe collaboration is the key to innovation as ideas are shared across multidisciplinary platforms where diverse perspectives are always welcome. Simplexity has a firm belief that when individual parts are brought together, connected, and allowed to interact, an even better system with its own properties and processes emerges. We are seeking a Senior Electrical Design Engineer with new product development and robotics experience.
