Our cross-functional approach integrates design, engineering, and human-centered thinking to produce award-winning products that drive emotional connection and market success.
Job Summary:
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.
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.

  • 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

  • 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
