PCBA Design Engineer


Design Custom Electronics That Power Real-World Products


Are you an electrical engineer who enjoys seeing your designs move from concept to real production hardware? This is an opportunity to join an engineering team where your ideas and technical expertise shape the products being built.


In this role, you will design custom printed circuit board assemblies used in industrial and embedded systems. Every project is unique! Meaning you won’t be stuck supporting the same product for years. Instead, you’ll work on a wide variety of applications while collaborating with other engineers and customers to develop PCB electronic solutions.


If you enjoy solving problems, working hands-on with custom boards, and taking designs from prototype through production, this role may be for you!


Why This Role?


  • Work on diverse, custom projects with no repetitive product cycles
  • See your designs come to life from prototype through full production
  • Small engineering team where your impact is significant
  • Strong mentorship and collaboration with experienced engineers
  • Opportunities for advancement into senior engineering and leadership roles
  • Flexible work hours and a supportive, engineering-driven culture
  • Stable and growing company with long-term demand for its products


What You’ll Do:


  • Design schematics and printed circuit board assemblies (PCBA) for industrial and embedded applications
  • Select electronic components based on performance, lifecycle, availability, and cost
  • Review and support PCB layout with attention to signal integrity, power distribution, and thermal considerations
  • Collaborate with firmware and mechanical engineers to ensure successful system integration
  • Support design for manufacturability, assembly, and testing (DFM / DFA / DFT)
  • Create and maintain design documentation including schematics, BOMs, and test procedures
  • Assist with prototype builds, bring-up, debugging, and validation testing
  • Support ongoing product improvements and design updates


Qualifications:


  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or significant PCB design experience
  • 3+ years of experience designing printed circuit boards (PCB)
  • Schematic design experience using Altium software is preferred
  • Basic understanding of analog and digital circuit design
  • Familiarity with microcontrollers, sensors, and communication interfaces
  • Ability to interpret datasheets, schematics, and manufacturing documentation


Compensation & Benefits:


  • Base salary: $90,000 – $115,000
  • Annual performance cash bonus
  • Comprehensive benefit package including all insurance and retirement
  • Continuing education allowance
  • Flexible work schedule options
  • Team events and company gatherings
  • A collaborative engineering culture where you will be supported
