Hardware Engineer

They are looking for a Hardware Engineer to join the team. This is a key role in a small team: they do not currently have a dedicated hardware engineering department, so the successful candidate must be a self-starter who can work with ambiguity, set direction, and communicate effectively across internal stakeholders and external manufacturing partners.

The successful candidate will be expected to:

• Own PCB redesigns and iterative improvements (cost, reliability, manufacturability, power efficiency, component availability).
• Diagnose and resolve field and production issues (root cause analysis; corrective actions; ECOs).
• Improve battery life, vibration drive efficiency, robustness, and overall system reliability.
• Manage obsolescence and supply-chain risks (alternates, second sources, lifecycle planning)
• Define hardware architecture for next-gen (MCU/SoC selection, power architecture, sensors, comms).
• Produce schematics, PCB layouts (or direct and review layout output), and engineering documentation.
• Lead prototype builds and bring-up (debug, test, validation, design iterations).
• Drive DFM/DFA planning in collaboration with the manufacturing partner.

• Significant professional experience designing electronics and PCBs for shipped products (ideally wearables, consumer electronics, or medical/wellness devices).

· Strong schematic capture and PCB design capability, including low-power design techniques.

· Proven experience taking products from concept * prototype * NPI * production.
