Lead Electronics Design and Manufacturing Engineer

Company Overview

Cascadia Scientific empowers mining operations with independent, precision-grounded energy insights, enabling safer, smarter, and more sustainable decisions. Our mission is to reveal the true drivers of energy use and waste, improve cost per ton, strengthen fleet performance, and support operational decisions with actionable intelligence.

At Cascadia, you’ll join a tight-knit, values-driven team committed to professionalism, empathy, and innovation. We work collaboratively to solve high-impact problems and support efficient, sustainable mining. Your contributions will directly influence real-world outcomes and help shape the future of the industry.

Cascadia Scientific is a fast-growing scale-up business with approximately 50 employees. The successful candidate must be capable of executing independently and at a high level in a fast-paced environment.

As Lead Electronics Design & Manufacturing Engineer, you will own the complete life cycle of Cascadia’s ruggedized electronic products deployed on some of the world’s largest mining haul trucks. You will be responsible for hardware design, product reliability, manufacturing oversight, quality assurance, regulatory compliance, and technical support throughout the product lifecycle.

This is a highly hands‑on role suited to an experienced engineer who enjoys taking products from concept through deployment and continuous improvement. You will work closely with software developers, contract manufacturers, suppliers, and field personnel to ensure our products meet the demanding reliability requirements of remote mining operations.

The successful candidate will have strong experience in PCB design, CAN/J1939-based vehicle electronics, manufacturing support, and troubleshooting complex field issues. Experience developing products for harsh operating environments subject to vibration, temperature extremes, electrical noise, and mechanical shock is highly desirable.
