Electrical Computer Engineer Embedded Systems & Project Management
DescriptionWe are seeking a seasoned Electrical Computer Engineer with at least 6 years of professional experience, who combines deep expertise in embedded electronics with robust project management capabilities. This role demands a thorough, intuitive understanding of electrical circuit design and a proven track record of leading projects from conception to completion.
The ideal candidate is intellectually curious and will thrive in a dynamic small business environment, taking on a dual role that blends technical engineering tasks with project leadership, particularly within the consumer electronics industry. This position requires a rapid prototyping mindset and the ability to be nimble and pivot quickly, distinct from the slower pace often found in sectors like automotive or aerospace. Candidates should have a solid understanding of electromechanical systems such as DC motors, speakers, and transducers, with knowledge of back EMF and power transfer into electromechanical systems.
Responsibilities- Design and prototype advanced electrical circuits and embedded systems, focusing on optimization for power, efficiency, and size constraints, with a specific aim for rapid development cycles in consumer electronics.
- Develop and integrate electromechanical components like DC motors, speakers, and transducers, understanding their dynamics such as back EMF and power transfer.
- Lead and manage the complete product lifecycle, including planning, design, production, quality assurance, redesign, and end-of-life processes.
- Navigate the complexities of embedded systems on a chip (SoC) including knowledge about Bluetooth / WiFi antenna layout, routing, and matching network design.
- FPGA updates and design.
- Engage fully in all aspects of consumer product design, demonstrating a passion and curiosity for solving problems and delivering market-leading products.
- Spearhead project management activities, ensuring alignment of electrical design with overall product objectives and timelines.
- Write and maintain robust firmware and software, including PC scripts, in languages such as C++ and Python.
- Perform hands-on assembly and testing of PCBs, employing a deep, intuitive understanding of DC electrical properties such as power, inductance, capacitance, and efficiency.
Qualifications- Bachelor s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, with a Master s degree strongly preferred.
- Minimum of 6 years of experience in electrical engineering with a significant focus on embedded systems and electromechanical systems.
- Extensive experience in designing, testing, and optimizing compact, multi-layer PCBs.
- Proficiency in firmware and software development, with a solid command of C++, Python, and other relevant programming languages.
- Comprehensive knowledge and practical application of DC electrical properties, circuit design, Bluetooth antenna layouts, and electromechanical systems.
Helpful Additional Skills - Experience with audio systems and camera technologies in embedded systems or consumer products is a significant plus.
- Excellent leadership and communication skills, capable of motivating teams and managing complex projects.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, with a capacity to handle multiple tasks simultaneously and under pressure.
- Certification in project management methodologies (e.g., PMP, Agile, Scrum) would be advantageous.
Additional Benefits- Full coverage of premium payments for medical, dental, and vision insurance
- Company-sponsored Simple IRA plan with 1:1 match up to 3% of your annual salary
- Annual contribution to employee HSA
- Vacation, sick and personal time are covered by an unlimited personal time off (PTO) policy
- Work related relocation and moving expenses reimbursed up to $10,000
