Boulder Engineering Studio, Boulder, Colorado, United States, 80301
Embedded Electronics Engineering Role
Boulder Engineering Studio is a premier product development consultancy in Boulder, CO. Our team consists of passionate and experienced mechanical, electrical, software engineers and technicians. We build hardware, firmware and software with an iterative test-driven process in a hands-on collaborative environment. With a wide-ranging portfolio of projects, from scientific instruments and industrial machinery to medical wearables, BES focuses on providing pragmatic solutions to our customers. We are hiring for an Embedded Electronics Engineering role to immediately support our existing programs while continuing to increase our development capabilities long term. This high-growth, mid-level role will be involved throughout the project lifecycle with a focus on hardware design and testing. You have at least 6 years of hands-on project experience in embedded systems development and testing. You thrive in a fast-paced environment, supporting multiple projects while remaining organized and efficient. You're able to self-prioritize milestones while ensuring project requirements are met and specifications are thoroughly tested and documented. When facing constraints that impact your tasks, you confidently speak up and work with the team to regroup and adjust. Qualified candidates for this role should have a background with embedded device hardware design. A strong knowledge of practical electronics including experience with analog, digital, power, and RF systems. Understanding lab instruments such as oscilloscopes, signal analyzers, and spectrum analyzers is necessary. Candidates should be familiar with PCBA design software such as KiCad, Altium, Eagle, etc. Familiarity with version control tools and Linux is preferred. This role will participate in high-level design and requirements development in both hardware and firmware domains. Responsibilities
Designing electrical systems based on high-level functional specifications Validating hardware prototypes with lab equipment (multimeters, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers) Collaborating with engineers and technicians to support testing Collaborating with clients and vendors to determine project requirements and specifications Collaborating with firmware and higher level software engineers Collaborating with manufacturers to support assembly and end-of-line fixtures Understanding and interpretation of testing standards and procedures (UL, ETL, IEC, etc.) Benefits
401K Health, dental, vision Generous PTO Flexible hours Casual office EcoPass RTD Bus Pass On-site shower; next door to climbing gyms and tennis courts Unlimited snacks, teas, and some of the best coffee in town Hybrid Office for mix of remote & on-site (varies based on project needs and individual preferences) Required Qualifications
Required Skills/Competencies: In-depth knowledge of embedded electronics hardware design and testing Experience with EMI/EMC testing procedures, standards, and lab equipment Experience with electrical design simulation (SPICE) Proficient with version control tools such as git Proficient with test driven development and CI/CD Preferred Skills/Competencies
Design for power electronics or high voltage systems Experience with engineering project management practices Experience with FCC, CE, UL, and other product certification processes Experience with microcontroller firmware development and/or debugging Proficient with embedded Linux environments Proficient with Linux desktop environments Proficient with Python scripting Physical Requirements
Prolonged periods sitting or standing at a desk and working on a computer. Education and Experience
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent required; Masters degree preferred. 6+ years of related experience preferred. Our Values
BES strives to leave the world better than we found it. We don't design weapons, single use plastics, or intentionally harmful or demeaning products. Our goal is to create value in our relationships and through our work. We believe in finding the right tool for the job- including getting support from outside subject matter experts, vendors, and cutting edge research when called for. These values help ensure that the work we do take on is compelling and a good fit for our team.
