Electrical Engineer, Hardware Design (Roadside Camera Systems)

A lean hardware startup that builds solar-powered camera units for roadways is growing its fleet nationwide and needs an electrical engineer to make the devices tougher, more dependable and easier to manufacture. The ideal person has taken a board all the way through, watched hardware misbehave outdoors, and taken the lessons on board.

Responsibilities

Design, iterate on and test circuit boards in Altium across the whole lifecycle, from schematics to production and installation in the field

Troubleshoot and verify hardware at the lab bench with scopes, supplies and assorted test equipment

Raise robustness and reliability of units that run on tight power budgets as deployments multiply

Write firmware in C or C++, or Python scripts, to bring up and verify designs

Work with embedded, operations and software colleagues, with occasional quarterly trips for installations and calibration

Qualifications

Two to six years in hardware electrical engineering, including full PCB design in Altium or a comparable tool

Experience at a startup or small team with broad ownership of hardware

A BS or MS in engineering

Embedded firmware or test-automation skills in Python or C-family languages

Plus: hardware used outdoors or unattended, and knowledge of solar, battery management or DC-DC conversion

Willingness to work some nights or weekends for field work

On-site in Denver, most days of the week. Visa transfers such as H-1B and TN are considered, though new H-1B sponsorship is unavailable.
