9 Month Contract to Hire

Compensation: $36 - 52 / hour

We are seeking an Electronic Hardware Engineer to join a fast-paced, multidisciplinary product development team. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys taking ownership of the full product lifecycle—from concept through prototyping, testing, and manufacturing. You will work on a wide range of projects supporting both large enterprise clients and emerging startups, developing innovative and manufacturable electronic solutions.

• Design and develop electronic hardware systems from concept through production
• Perform schematic capture and PCB layout (Altium preferred)
• Build, solder, assemble, and debug prototype hardware and systems
• Conduct testing and validation using oscilloscopes, multimeters, and other lab equipment
• Take ownership of prototype development, including inspection, troubleshooting, and iteration of designs
• Create block diagrams, circuit concepts, and technical visualizations to support design discussions and decision-making
• Develop test plans, product specifications, and clear documentation for internal teams and clients
• Analyze test data and present results in a clear, organized format (e.g., graphs, reports)
• Collaborate cross-functionally with mechanical, firmware, and industrial design teams, including working with 3D PCB CAD data
• Support full lifecycle development, adapting to new tools, technologies, and technical challenges as needed
• Select components with consideration for cost, availability, and performance requirements
• Design and work with both analog and digital circuitry, including embedded systems (8-, 16-, and 32-bit microcontrollers)
• Contribute to the development of multi-layer PCBs, including designs with controlled impedance
• Interface with manufacturing partners by preparing fabrication packages and ensuring designs are production-ready
• Communicate design intent, approach, and outcomes effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

• U.S. Citizenship (required due to project requirements)
• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
• 3–6+ years of product development experience
• Strong hands-on experience with electronics prototyping, soldering, and debugging
• Experience with both analog and digital circuit design
• Proficiency with schematic capture and PCB layout tools (Altium preferred)
• Experience with embedded microcontrollers (8-, 16-, and 32-bit)
• Familiarity with STM
  32 and/or Microchip platforms
• Experience designing multi-layer PCBs with controlled impedance
• Ability to use lab equipment such as oscilloscopes and multimeters
• Strong communication skills with the ability to present technical concepts clearly
• 40% design and CAD work
• 40% hands-on prototyping and lab testing
• 20% customer interaction and team collaboration

This is a highly collaborative, hands-on environment where engineers are involved in both design and build. The team is small, agile, and composed of highly skilled professionals working on cutting-edge projects.
