The Opportunity
Join a growing engineering team building embedded electronic products that support emergency response vehicles and first responders. As a Tech Lead Electrical Engineer, you'll own the design and development of embedded hardware-from concept through production-while leading technical decisions and mentoring a small team of engineers. This is an opportunity to shape multiple greenfield embedded systems products in a company actively integrating wireless networking and advanced electronics into mission-critical vehicle technology.
Why You'll Love This Role
- Lead from the front - own electrical architecture, embedded hardware development, and technical direction.
- Build products that matter - develop systems used in emergency response and field-critical environments.
- High-impact visibility - work across mechanical, software, manufacturing, and product teams to bring products to market.
- Greenfield innovation - contribute to multiple new product initiatives in a growing engineering organization.
- Strong business momentum - join a company performing well, with bonus payouts historically exceeding target.
- Lead the design and development of embedded electronic systems for products including vehicle lighting, pressure governors, sensors, and control modules.
- Drive hardware development including schematic design, PCB layout, functional testing, and system-level validation.
- Define electrical architectures, select components (microcontrollers, sensors, drivers, wireless modules), and ensure performance, manufacturability, and regulatory compliance.
- Provide day-to-day technical leadership and mentorship to a team of 2-3 engineers.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with mechanical engineering, software, manufacturing, and product management teams to deliver reliable, field-ready products.
- Manage engineering priorities, schedules, and resource planning to keep development on track.
- Support product testing, validation, and transition into manufacturing.
- Improve engineering processes, documentation, specifications, and hardware design standards.
- Develop and maintain hardware component specifications, system-level requirements, and functional test plans.
- Champion engineering best practices and continuous improvement across the team.
- Strong expertise in microcontroller-based hardware design (ARM processor families preferred).
- Deep understanding of EMC / EMI-compliant electronic design.
- Hands-on experience with schematic capture and PCB layout tools such as Altium.
- Experience leading, mentoring, or guiding engineers in a technical team environment.
- Strong understanding of communication protocols including CAN, I2C, SPI, and UART.
- Experience with embedded wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Cellular, or Lo Ra is a plus.
- Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills with the ability to work cross-functionally.
- Experience using lab and test equipment including oscilloscopes, multimeters, and signal generators.
- Hands-on laboratory testing, debugging, and validation experience.
- Must be a U.S. Citizen or Green Card holder.
If you're excited to lead embedded hardware development, mentor engineers, and help build next-generation technology for first responders, this is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact while growing with a high-performing engineering team.
