Description
Remote Hardware Engineer (Electrical)
🌟 Ignite Innovation with Us
Think of a workplace where sparks fly—not from shorts, but from brilliant ideas. Our remote-first, imagination-powered tech culture is designed for engineers who love crafting cutting-edge systems and pushing past the limits of traditional circuitry. We've built a digital habitat for inventors—where brainstorms are encouraged, curiosity is celebrated, and ideas are nurtured into tangible, futuristic devices. We don’t do boring; we do boundary-breaking. Now, we’re scouting for a curious, driven Remote Hardware Engineer (Electrical) who wants to shape how technology powers the world next.
⚡ What You'll Be Powering
You won’t be just routing traces—you’ll be architecting electrical systems that solve real-world problems in creative ways. From ultra-low-power sensor nodes to robust, industrial-grade controllers, your fingerprints will be on everything. We’re building smart gadgets, embedded systems, and hardware components that plug seamlessly into IoT ecosystems and future-ready platforms.
🔧 Key Responsibilities
- Engineer and verify complex analog and digital circuits for embedded platforms
- Partner across remote teams to integrate hardware into firmware, mechanics, and product architecture
- Create detailed schematics and PCB layouts using Altium, KiCad, or Eagle
- Prototype, test, and iterate with logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and simulation tools
- Lead the whole hardware design process—from concept to field-tested reality
- Explore, learn, and implement new hardware techniques, from signal conditioning to EMI shielding
🌐 Our Virtual Lab
We’ve built a collaborative digital workshop where innovation doesn’t pause for distance. Our remote environment is vibrant, technically rigorous, and charged with energy. You’ll work with creative engineers across continents—sharing CAD files, debugging circuits, and celebrating that “it finally works!” moment on Zoom. Whether it's a remote-controlled RF circuit or a precision sensor interface, every project presents an opportunity to explore new frontiers.
👨🔬 Tools & Tech You'll Tame
- Altium Designer, KiCad, Eagle for circuit capture and PCB layout
- LTspice, MATLAB, and Python for simulation and modeling
- Oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and power measurement tools
- Git for hardware version control and design collaboration
- Jira and Slack for agile, async team workflows
🎓 Who We're Wired For
We admire engineers who treat design challenges like puzzles and treat failure as a launchpad. If your home desk doubles as a test bench, or if you’ve ever built a breakout board just because it sounded fun, you’re in the right place. We love electrical minds who merge technical depth with bold creativity.
📚 Qualifications
- Educational background in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Design, or a closely aligned tech field
- Minimum 3 years of experience in developing electronics for embedded or consumer-grade systems
- Deep skills in schematic design, mixed-signal board layouts, and noise mitigation
- Confident using test equipment for remote diagnostics and iterative design
- Exposure to FPGA development, RF design, or power electronics is a huge plus
🌱 Growth & Perks
We’re serious about hardware—and about having fun while building it. You’ll get the freedom to explore ideas, the trust to lead your builds, and the tools to make your work excellent.
- Annual compensation: $43,548
- Fully remote, globally collaborative work model
- Time set aside monthly for passion projects or R&D
- Yearly budget for personal lab upgrades or dev tools
- Regular innovation contests—bragging rights included
🧠 The Creative Spark We Seek
This isn't just a job; it’s a playground for your electrical imagination. We’re looking for someone who thrives on solving real-world challenges and loves circuit design as both an art and a science. You’ll be the go-to person for both unusual bugs and wild ideas. You love making things work, but you love making things clever even more.
🚀 Ready to Build the Future?
You became an engineer because you enjoy creating things. That impulse to invent, improve, and iterate—that’s what we value most. Join a team where that energy fuels our mission to create innovative, resilient, and extraordinary devices that power tomorrow.
🎯 Apply Now
Put your genius to the test. Join our fully-remote, endlessly curious crew of engineers who believe hardware design should be fun, collaborative, and endlessly innovative. This is your chance to make something truly electric—together.
Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
1. What’s it really like to work remotely as a Hardware Engineer?
Most days start in your own workspace—maybe with a coffee and a quick check of your latest design sketches or simulation results. Some hours are dedicated to deep-dive time: troubleshooting a circuit, laying out a new board in Altium, or tinkering with a prototype using your favorite test equipment. Later, you’ll sync up with your global team on Slack or Zoom to share updates and trade clever fixes for tricky bugs. It’s hands-on, creative work mixed with real teamwork—all at a pace you help set.
2. What’s the most rewarding challenge about this job?
The fun part is that every project is a little different. One week, you might bring a sensor to life for an IoT device; next, you’re solving a noise issue in a power supply or trying a wild new layout idea. It’s about pushing past the expected, learning from both small stumbles and big wins, and seeing your designs become real products that make someone’s day easier or more interesting.
3. How do remote hardware engineers actually collaborate?
You’re never alone, even working remotely. Collaboration occurs in real-time—file sharing on Git, asynchronous brainstorms on Slack, and live debugging sessions with teammates around the globe. Design reviews are open, feedback is honest, and there’s always room for bold ideas. The result? Projects move forward, people grow, and good ideas get noticed (and celebrated).
5. Is remote hardware work really as flexible as it sounds?
Yes—genuinely. You set your own hours and build your workspace the way you like. Need to balance work with family, hobbies, or a side project? No problem. What matters most here is creative output and real results, so you can shape your workday and still have a life outside the lab.
