Electrical Hardware Design Engineer

Quick Facts

• Role: Electrical Hardware Design Engineer

• Focus: End-to-end electrical hardware design for hygienic sensors and measurement systems, including compliance and certification

Description

You will own new product electronics end to end for hygienic sensors and measurement systems—from requirements and architecture through schematics, PCB layout/routing, board bring-up, and production release. The role includes designing analog, mixed-signal, power, and microcontroller circuits for industrial sensing and validating boards using lab instrumentation and DVT plans. You will build compliance from day one, driving UL/CSA/CE and EMC activities, partnering with third-party labs, and supporting sustaining and root-cause analysis on production and field failures.

Responsibilities

• Own new product electronics from clean-sheet requirements through prototyping and production release

• Design analog, mixed-signal, power, and microcontroller circuits for industrial sensing (e.g., RTD/NTC, 4-20 mA, HART, industrial I/O)

• Perform worst-case analysis, simulation, component selection, and derating

• Lead schematic and PCB design reviews

• Personally lay out and route multilayer PCBs (mixed-signal, power, high-voltage, controlled impedance)

• Manage PCB deliverables: placement, stack-up, routing, libraries, design rules, and fab/assembly outputs

• Partner with fabricators/contract manufacturers on DFM/DFT and reviews (Gerber/BOM), prototype builds, and production ramp-up

• Design for compliance and certification (UL/CSA/CE and EMC), applying safety rules such as creepage, clearance, isolation, and fault conditions

• Run pre-compliance testing and coordinate certification through third-party labs; maintain technical files and critical component lists

• Validate and sustain: board bring-up, debugging, environmental testing, and support manufacturing troubleshooting

• Lead root cause analysis for hardware, manufacturing, and field failures; drive reliability and obsolescence redesigns while protecting existing listings

• Collaborate with mechanical, firmware, manufacturing, quality, and product management; communicate design intent to vendors and certification bodies

Requirements

• BS in Electrical Engineering (MS preferred)

• 5+ years of hands-on hardware design on industrial or similarly regulated products

• Ownership of at least two electronics products from concept to production, designed from scratch

• Hands-on PCB layout and routing with personally routed multilayer boards used in production (Altium, KiCad, or similar)

• Experience taking products through UL/CSA and/or CE certification, including resolving safety and EMC findings with test labs

• Working knowledge of safety and EMC standards (UL/IEC 61010-1, UL 508, IEC 62368-1; IEC 61326-1, IEC 61000-4-x, CISPR 11)

• Strong analog/mixed-signal design skills: microcontroller systems, power supplies and isolation, signal conditioning, and protection (ESD, surge, transients)

• Experience with board bring-up/debugging, lab instrumentation, and working with PCB/contract manufacturers

• Ability to present a product you designed, including your layouts and the certifications earned

Benefits

• Bonus eligibility as part of total compensation

• Pay range: $83,400–$155,000
