Job Description
As a Digital Hardware Engineer, you’ll focus on creating and building new technology that impacts wide range of industrial customers - products that can sustain harsh conditions.
Designs, develops, and improves digital hardware used in embedded control platforms. This role blends hands on circuit and PCB design .
What’s great about this employer?
- Be a valued contributor in a fun and collaborative work environment. This company has been formally awarded “Top Place to Work”! – no surprise when you speak with this progressive senior leadership team, look at the great employee benefits, and consider the ongoing expansion project.
- They offer competitive salaries and special employee benefits that exceed expectations in the general manufacturing industry including a chef to prepare free lunches!
This company culture is an ideal environment to accomplish these results as they DO NOT allow the phrase “That’s how we have always done it”.
Will design, develop, and improve digital hardware used in embedded control platforms. This role blends hands on circuit and PCB design with cross functional collaboration, rigorous verification, and clear documentation—delivering reliable, production ready hardware that
meets specification, safety, and quality standards.
Key Responsibilities
Circuit & PCB Design- Create and update schematics and printed circuit boards for embedded digital control systems.
- Select components, manage constraints, and drive design for manufacture (DFM) and design for test (DFT) practices.
- Lead peer reviews for schematics, PCB layout, and design outputs.
Digital Interfaces & Embedded Systems- Design microcontroller I/O, logic-level signal conditioning, and serial communication buses (SPI,
- Collaborate with firmware engineers to define interfaces, timing, and board bring-up I²C, UART)
Manufacturing & Cross Functional Support- Plan and execute board-level validation, functional tests, and environmental/EMC
- Analyze test results, troubleshoot issues, and implement corrective actions to meet third-party
- Partner with manufacturing to resolve build issues and implement engineering changes.
- Support release to production, including first article review and sustaining improvements.
Continuous Improvement process improvements.- Produce clear, production ready documentation: BOMs, cost estimates, interface specifications,
- Maintain accurate revision control and change documentation throughout the product lifecycle.
- Stay current with tools, components, and standards in digital hardware design, and champion
Qualifications
Qualifications:
- BS/MS in Electrical, Electronic, or Computer Engineering.
- 10+ years of electrical engineering experience with a focus on digital circuits.
- Familiarity with analog circuits and power electronics preferred.
Technical Proficiency
- Digital logic, embedded microcontrollers, and internal serial communications (SPI, I²C).
- External communications (e.g. Ethernet, RS-232, RS-485) and protection in harsh environments.
- Integrated design tools (e.g. Altium) for schematic and PCB layout.
- Knowledge of circuit simulation tools (e.g. Plexim, Simulink, LTspice) preferred.
- Knowledge of FPGA/CPLD development and HDL (e.g. VHDL, Verilog) preferred.
- Knowledge of IPC-610, UL/CSA, and related compliance standards preferred.
