Electronics Engineer / Freelance

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and develop electronic systems for consumer, medical, and industrial products.

• Create schematics, select components, and develop PCB layouts using tools such as Altium or Eagle.

• Develop, debug, and test analog and digital circuits including micro-controllers, power supplies, sensors, and wireless modules.

• Build and program proof-of-concept electronics prototypes (e.g., Arduino, Raspberry Pi, custom boards).

• Work with mechanical engineers to ensure seamless integration of electronics into the physical product design.

• Collaborate with firmware and software developers to ensure hardware compatibility and performance.

• Perform troubleshooting, testing, and debugging of hardware systems throughout the development lifecycle.

• Contribute to documentation for design intent, testing procedures, compliance, and production hand-off.

• Provide insight into design-for-manufacturing (DFM), regulatory compliance, and BOM cost optimization.

• Participate in brainstorming sessions, technical reviews, and product refinement workshops.

• Stay abreast of emerging technologies and component innovations relevant to product development.

Requirements

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related discipline; Master’s degree is a plus.

• 5+ years of hands-on experience designing electronics for commercial or industrial products.

• Proficiency with electronic design tools (Altium Designer, Eagle, KiCad, or similar).

• Strong understanding of micro-controller systems, low-power design, sensor integration, and communication protocols (I2C, SPI, UART, BLE).

• Experience with embedded systems and basic firmware development is preferred.

• Ability to rapidly prototype and iterate on electronic subsystems.

• Excellent problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills.

• Knowledge of safety, EMI/EMC, and regulatory standards (FCC, CE, IEC, ISO 60601, etc.) is a strong advantage.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in client-facing or cross-disciplinary team environments.

• Prior consulting or agency-based product development experience.

• Familiarity with medical device development cycles and documentation practices is a plus.

Benefits

Job Description

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the design, development, and testing of electronic hardware for consumer, medical, and industrial products.

• Develop circuit schematics, select components, and design PCB layouts using tools like Altium, Eagle, or KiCad.

• Build and program hardware prototypes using micro-controller platforms such as Arduino, STM32, or Raspberry Pi.

• Collaborate with mechanical and firmware teams to ensure tight system integration and reliable operation.

• Define electrical architecture, power budgets, and communication protocols (e.g., I2C, SPI, BLE, USB).

• Troubleshoot and debug circuits across development stages—from bread-boarding to final PCBA.

• Evaluate and specify off-the-shelf components, sensors, and modules to meet performance, cost, and compliance targets.

• Prepare documentation including BOMs, test reports, and production handoff materials.

• Advise on design for manufacturability (DFM), regulatory compliance, and lifecycle risk.

• Contribute to design reviews and help drive technical decision-making across projects.
