Electrical Engineer 1

About the Role

Electronic circuit designer of digital and analog control systems for power tools.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and verification of both hardware and firmware for control systems circuitry in various power tool applications, with a focus on battery management systems (BMS).
• Development of circuit schematics and PCB layouts, including component selection and generation of BOMs.
• Firmware architecture and development.
• Creation of production testing documents.
• Creation and execution of verification testing.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• C programming language
• Microcontroller programming
• Test and measurement equipment (e.g., oscilloscopes, multimeter, power supplies)
• Ability to explain technical issues to technical and non-technical audiences in email, via PowerPoint, and in meetings.
• Willingness to travel to Asia (typically 0%, up to 5%).

Qualifications

• Minimum BS Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent degree.
• Internship and/or Co-Op experience.
• Ability to function in a mixed technical setting (software and hardware).
• A can-do attitude.
• Willingness to learn new technical skills.
• Comfortable in hands-on situations (e.g., PCB rework, measurement equipment).
• Ability to approach problems from a theoretical perspective (e.g., simulation and calculations).
• Strong time-management skills.
