Responsibilities

• Design and develop MCU-based hardware platforms for high-volume industrial and heavy-duty automotive applications
• Design circuit libraries for re-use across all of our product families including engine controllers, voice coil and DC motor actuators, fuel system devices, lithium-ion battery management systems (BMS) and chargers, and IoT telematics systems
• Own electrical hardware products over their entire lifecycle: initial design, prototype deployment, hardware qualification and certification, application validation, and production launch
• Architect integrated product solutions that leverage the cost, complexity, and performance tradeoffs between discrete hardware components, dedicated ASICs, and embedded software
• Exhibit relentless attention to detail during the product design phase to minimize the number of hardware revisions required before a successful product launch
• Peer review hardware designs and mentor junior electrical engineers
• Work independently within a small, highly technical engineering team with little supervision

Education

• BS in Electrical Engineering or related discipline
• MS or Ph.D. preferred
