Job Description:

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Electronics Engineer to consult on a freelance basis with our interdisciplinary team. This role requires a hands-on, systems-level thinker who can architect and implement electronic subsystems within a variety of product categories. The ideal candidate will collaborate closely with mechanical, software, and industrial design teams to develop elegant, functional, and manufacturable products from concept through prototyping.

Job Responsibility:

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

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

Nice to have:

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
