Senior Electrical Engineer
$130,000–$140,000 year
On-sitePortland, Oregon, United States
Job Summary
Design, develop, and validate complex electrical systems from concept through production, leading system design efforts across analog/mixed-signal circuits, low-noise sensor front-ends, and power electronics. Own EMC design-for-compliance work, including filtering, grounding, and layout strategy to address noise rather than treating it as a late-stage test-and-fix step. Collaborate directly with firmware, embedded, and mechanical engineering teams on hardware-software interfaces and packaging constraints. Partner with contract manufacturers on DFM/DFT reviews and drive designs through EVT, DVT, and PVT gates. Support wireless subsystem design and integration for mesh and LPWAN sensor architectures. Work 90–100% independently, taking ownership of complex projects with minimal supervision.
Required Qualifications
- Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
- 8-10+ years of industry experience
- Very strong PCB design ability, including analog/mixed-signal and power electronics layout
- Demonstrated experience designing for EMC compliance (CE, FCC) — not just test preparation, but proactive noise mitigation through circuit and layout design
- Working knowledge of relevant test equipment (oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, network analyzer) for debugging and pre-compliance verification
- Expert engineering documentation — design history, requirements traceability, and reference-quality records maintained in [Confluence / Jira (HDEV) / PLM system]
- Experience analyzing product testing needs, creating test processes, and performing tests
- Comfort working within a formal stage-gate NPI process (EVT/DVT/PVT) and collaborating directly with contract manufacturers on DFM/DFT
- Cross-divisional understanding of the scientific knowledge relating to successful product development
- A resource for industry application knowledge with scientific understanding of Addium products
- Skilled in Altium Designer, Altium 365, Altium Develop, and AI tools surrounding Altium and PCB design
Desired Qualifications
- Familiarity with wireless sensor networking concepts (mesh or LPWAN architectures) a plus
