Electrical Engineer (PCBA Products)
Posted Updated
About the role
You’ll design and debug the boards inside Cortex, working across embedded compute, industrial I/O, and power. You’ll own board-level work from schematic through working prototypes, validation, and manufacturing handoff, with experienced guidance on architecture and critical design decisions.
We’re looking for strong fundamentals, practical design judgment, and evidence that you can turn a circuit into working hardware. Professional experience, internships, and substantial personal or university projects can demonstrate that ability.
What you’ll build
- Design schematics, select components, and develop PCB layouts in Altium Designer.
- Bring up prototypes using test code and bench measurements to isolate failures.
- Integrate power, digital and analog interfaces, and communications alongside firmware and software engineers.
- Test functionality, electrical margins, and failure modes in industrial environments.
- Prepare clear schematics, BOMs, test results, and release documentation for manufacturing.
- Improve designs using design reviews, prototype results, and production feedback.
What you’ve already proven
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a closely related engineering discipline.
- You’ve personally designed and debugged working boards and can explain your circuit choices and a failure you resolved.
- Strong analog and digital fundamentals, with practical understanding of power and interfaces.
- Hands-on use of oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, and rework tools.
- You can write embedded code or test scripts to support board bring-up.
- Proficiency in Altium Designer.
- You communicate tradeoffs, seek design review, and learn unfamiliar systems quickly.
What gets you here faster
- Substantial projects that include your own design, bring-up, and testing.
- Industrial, robotics, or embedded hardware experience, including SoC or FPGA designs.
- Exposure to manufacturing, test fixtures, or EMC/ESD debugging.
