Up to $100,000 Base Salary
• Greater Milwaukee Area
• 100% Onsite

• 4+ years of professional circuit design experience with an engineering degree, OR 10+ years of proven technical depth in lieu of a degree.
• Hands‑on PCB layout, schematic capture, and analog/mixed‑signal power supply design expertise.
• Full‑time standard hours with minimal domestic travel (~20 days per year).
• Competitive benefits and 401(k) matching.
• Full‑time, Permanent, W‑2 direct hire position; 100% Onsite.
• Must reside within commuting distance of Greater Milwaukee / Northeast Wisconsin manufacturing corridor.
• Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without current or future sponsorship requirements.

We are a small, privately held manufacturer dedicated to designing and producing highly engineered, performance‑critical electronic products used in demanding global applications. This is a full‑lifecycle engineering seat. You will take total ownership of designs from initial concept and schematic creation through PCB layout, component selection, rapid prototyping, and production verification.

• Designing and laying out complex multi‑layer PCBs from initial concept development through to final manufacturing and production release.
• Developing, optimizing, and testing robust power supply topologies, including analog and mixed‑signal circuitry.
• Creating detailed electrical schematics, clear technical specifications, and accurate, production‑ready bills of materials (BOMs).
• Supporting hands‑on prototype builds, lab testing, firmware debugging verification, and initial manufacturing line startups.
• Generating comprehensive technical documentation, test plans, and engineering change notices (ECNs) to support corporate project deliverables.
• Performing critical circuit reliability analysis, component derating assessments, and supporting internal quality assurance processes.
• Managing multiple project timelines simultaneously, communicating effectively across production and leadership teams to hit product release dates.

• Hardware Design Pedigree: 4+ years of hands‑on experience executing circuit design and complex PCB layouts. A Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering is preferred, but we will gladly consider a master tradesperson with 10+ years of direct, advanced design experience in lieu of a formal degree.
• Power & Analog Fluency:
  Proven competency in the design, component selection, and optimization of power supplies or complex analog/mixed‑signal systems.
• Documentation Rigor: A flawless ability to read, interpret, and author technical schematics, component specifications, and assembly instructions.
• Regulated Manufacturing Literacy:
  Prior exposure working within a quality‑driven, ISO‑certified, or heavily regulated manufacturing environment where documentation and traceability matter.
• Self‑Directed Initiative: A self‑motivated, organized professional who excels at multitasking independently and driving active projects to completion with minimal supervision.

• Familiarity with advanced circuit simulation software platforms (PSpice, LTspice, or similar).
• Direct exposure to mechanical integration and enclosure constraints using 3D modeling tools (Solid Works, Autodesk Inventor, or similar).
• Basic embedded systems literacy or firmware familiarity (C/C++, microcontrollers).
• Design experience targeting high‑reliability, ruggedized, or performance‑critical industrial sectors.
