Hardware Engineer

Hi, we are ecobee.

ecobee introduced the world’s first smart Wi‑Fi thermostat to help millions of consumers save money, conserve energy, and bring home automation into their lives. That was just the beginning. We continue our pursuit to create technology that brings peace of mind into the home and allows people to focus on the moments that matter most. We take pride in making a meaningful difference to the environment, all while being part of the exciting, connected home revolution.

In 2021, ecobee became a subsidiary of Generac Power Systems. Generac introduced the first affordable backup generator and later created the category of automatic home standby generator. The company is committed to sustainable, cleaner energy products poised to revolutionize the 21st century electrical grid. Together, we take pride in making a meaningful difference to the environment.

We’re helping build the world of tomorrow with solutions that improve everyday life while making a positive impact on the planet. Our products and services work in harmony to provide comfort, efficiency, and peace of mind for millions of homes and businesses. While we’re proud of what we’ve done so far, there’s still a lot we can do—and you can be part of it.

We're a rapidly growing global tech company headquartered in Canada, in the heart of downtown Toronto, with a satellite office in Leeds, UK (and remote ecopeeps in the US). We get to work with some of North America and UK's leading professionals. Our colleagues are proud to bring their authentic selves to work, confident that what we do is grounded in a greater purpose.

We’re always looking for curious, talented, and passionate people to join our team.

Our Hardware team is made up of engineers with a wide variety of specialties, skill sets, backgrounds, and experiences ranging from HVAC control to RF design, digital logic, avionics, test fixtures, embedded software development, PCB layout, and power electronics. They aim to bring their wide experience to the cross‑functional squads that they are a part of, with a focus on collaboration, learning, development.

As a Staff Hardware Engineer, your responsibilities will include leading the development of new electrical products and systems from concept into production, ensuring designs are manufacturable, reliable, and compliant with industry standards. This role combines deep technical ownership with cross‑functional leadership, driving complex programs from concept through mass production with a focus on quality, cost, and schedule.

Working in the Hardware Engineering department, your involvement in product development will go far beyond circuit design as you will also be expected to shape technical direction across programs and help raise the engineering bar for the broader team. Your understanding of the often‑conflicting demands of industrial design, manufacturability, thermal management, battery life, signal integrity, and user experience will enable you to create elegant solutions to difficult system‑level problems.

A strong technical background spanning high‑speed digital design, analog instrumentation, RF systems, and power electronics will allow you to move efficiently from architecture and schematic design through validation and manufacturing readiness.

To create reliable and lasting products for our customers, it is also important that Design for Manufacturing, Design for Assembly, and Design for Test are embedded throughout the development cycle. Working closely with engineers across embedded, manufacturing, test, mechanical, and operations teams, you will contribute to collaborative engineering decisions spanning system architecture, production test strategy, thermal design, antenna performance, mechanical integration, and compliance.

Your insights, technical judgment, and mentorship will be instrumental to the cooperative effort that is foundational to ecobee product development.
