Position Summary
The Electrical Engineer – Hardware is responsible for designing, developing, testing, and improving electronic hardware. This role will work closely with cross-functional teams—including firmware engineering, mechanical engineering, product management, and manufacturing—to create robust, cost-effective, and innovative hardware solutions.
The ideal candidate has hands-on experience designing embedded electronics, enjoys solving complex hardware challenges, and thrives in a fast-paced, growth-focused engineering environment.

Key Responsibilities
Hardware Design & Development

• Design and develop electronic circuits, PCBs, and hardware components for gate automation systems, controllers, sensors, and accessories.
• Create schematics, PCB layouts, and complete design documentation.
• Perform component selection, cost analysis, and design optimization for performance and manufacturability.
• Support prototype fabrication, bring-up, and testing.

Testing & Validation

• Conduct hardware testing, troubleshooting, and failure analysis to ensure product reliability and compliance.
• Use oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power supplies, multimeters, and other test equipment regularly.
• Develop and execute test plans for environmental, electrical, and safety compliance.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with firmware engineers to integrate hardware with embedded software.
• Partner with mechanical engineering to ensure proper enclosure design, thermal considerations, and product durability.
• Support manufacturing and supply chain teams with DFM/DFT recommendations, production testing, and component alternatives.

Product Lifecycle Support

• Participate in new product development from concept through launch.
• Improve existing product designs for performance, quality, or cost.
• Provide technical support for field issues, quality investigations, and root cause analysis.

Qualifications & Experience
Required

• Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• 3–7+ years of experience in hardware/electronics design.
• Strong understanding of analog and digital circuit design.
• Experience with microcontrollers, power electronics, sensors, and wireless communication hardware.
• Proficiency with schematic capture and PCB layout tools (e.g., Altium, KiCad, Eagle).
• Hands-on proficiency with electrical test equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, power analyzers).
• Understanding of EMI/EMC, safety compliance, and regulatory standards.
• Ability to manage multiple projects and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment.

Preferred

• Experience designing low-voltage DC-powered systems (e.g., solar-powered, battery-operated products).
• Knowledge of gate automation systems, motor control, or access control hardware.
• Experience with RF modules, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or sub-GHz communication.
• Familiarity with embedded firmware basics (C/C++) for hardware integration.
• Experience with reliability testing and environmental testing (IP ratings, temperature cycling, vibration, etc.).

Key Competencies

• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.
• Excellent attention to detail and documentation discipline.
• Ability to collaborate effectively across engineering, manufacturing, and product teams.
• Innovative mindset with a passion for creating user-centered hardware solutions.
• Comfortable working in a growth-oriented company with evolving processes.
