About the role
We need a senior-level electrical engineer who can split time between working remotely and being on site in Orange County, CA. The project centers on motor-control electronics and firmware — every board you design must reliably drive, sense, and protect a variety of motors under real-world loads.
You'll be responsible for delivering a production ready PCB and firmware.
Remote Responsibilities
- Draw the schematic and capture the BOM for a new motor-control PCB, selecting components that meet cost, thermal, and EMI constraints
- Lay out the board for manufacturability, noise immunity, QC testing, and serviceability, then generate all fabrication, assembly files, and test procedures
- Work with PCB manufacturers to place orders, define QC procedures, and manage design changes.
On-site Responsibilites
- Oversee prototype builds, bring the hardware up in the lab, and run functional, thermal, and load tests on our existing motor rigs
- When issues surface, dive into trace analysis, oscilloscopes, and firmware to isolate root causes, revise the design, and verify the fix
- Document each revision so the design can move smoothly into small-batch production
Skills required
- Electronics and electrical engineering
- KiCad circuit design and PCB layout
- Motor control embedded firmware
- Signal processing and thermal analysis
- Git version control and clear, thorough documentation habits
Logistics
A few on-site days each month in Orange County, CA; remote otherwise. If that works for you, let's talk.
