Electrical Engineer (Early Career)

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Design schematics and multilayer PCB layouts for embedded boards, test fixtures and debug tools, with review from senior engineers.
• Take your boards from design through fabrication, assembly and bring-up, and fix what you find.
• Select and integrate microcontrollers, sensors, power circuits and interfaces such as I2C, SPI, UART, CAN and USB.
• Write the firmware requirements a new board needs to come up, and work with the firmware team to get it running.
• Design and build test fixtures, bring-up stations and diagnostic hardware that the wider engineering team uses every day.
• Support motor-control and power-electronics work on robot subsystems.
• Design, analyze and test wire harnesses for the robot and test equipment: connector and wire selection, routing with mechanical engineers, voltage-drop and current-capacity checks, and continuity and functional testing.
• Debug hardware in the lab with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power supplies and electronic loads.

Job requirements

• A bachelor's or master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or a related field, completed by your start date.
• 0–3 years of full-time experience. Recent graduates are welcome.
• At least two hardware internships or co-op terms, or equivalent hands-on work on a student engineering team.
• At least one PCB you designed yourself (schematic and layout) and brought up, in Altium, KiCad, OrCAD or similar.
• Experience with microcontrollers and common interfaces (I2C, SPI, UART), and enough C to read and debug firmware.
• Comfort in the lab with oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies and soldering.
• A design portfolio: schematics, layouts, photos or write-ups of projects you built, and what you personally did on each.
• Clear written communication and the habit of documenting your work.
