Electrical Systems Design Engineer

About the role

Join REEKON Tools as we enable the next generation of construction and home improvement professionals to complete their work quicker, more accurately, and faster than ever before. We are developing and launching innovative hardware products at an unprecedented pace across the power and hand tool industry. This role is for a physical-world generalist who understands how light, motion, magnetic fields, vibration, and force interact with custom drive electronics to produce precise physical measurements.

You will own the physical hardware bring-up pipeline—from selecting raw sensor elements and designing custom analog/driver electronics, to integrating them into rugged mechanical enclosures, and writing just enough firmware and Python code to test your system and ensure its reliability. REEKON has an exciting roadmap of new products and categories, and we’re looking for a passionate builder interested in the intersection of electronics development, sensors, and integration into high-volume consumer products.

Responsibilities

• Work with our engineering team to develop new hardware products with tightly integrated mechanical and electrical elements controlled by embedded software.
• Conduct independent research and explorations.
• Design circuits and system architecture for next-generation tools.
• Organize and maintain BOMs (Bill of Materials).
• Implement systems integrations of sensors, displays, and microprocessors into prototypes and products.
• Design analog front-ends, signal conditioning, and driver circuits for optical encoders, TOF sensors, IMUs, load cells, and actuators.
• Validate and test hardware, including building test jigs and product prototypes.

Requirements

• A portfolio showcasing projects you’ve worked on, with emphasis on those led from ideation to completion.
• 3-5 years of industry experience shipping hardware products.
• General electronics knowledge: microcontrollers, sensor technologies, communication protocols, motor control, etc.
• PCB schematic capture and layout experience (preferably with Altium Designer).
• Familiarity with test equipment, soldering, and debugging techniques.
• Comfortable working on hardware to validate and test software.
• Medium to advanced experience with embedded firmware development (C/C++).

Bonus Skills

• A track record of personal hardware projects, DIY electronics, or custom YouTube/blog/portfolio-style builds that demonstrate raw curiosity.
• Experience with Python and Unix/Linux.
• Fabricating physical prototypes (3D printing, laser cutting, etc.).
• Passion for making things.

Even if you don’t check every box mentioned above, we still strongly encourage you to apply! At REEKON Tools, diversity is a cornerstone of the business we are building. We know that diverse perspectives foster the innovation we need to be successful.
