Electronic 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. REEKON Tools is developing and launching innovative, completely new, hardware products at an unprecedented pace across the power and hand tool industry and establishing itself as a leader in professional tools and equipment.
We are looking for an Electronic Design Engineer who bridges the gap between real-world physics, sensor electronics, and physical hardware. This is a role 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 we are working on and looking for a passionate builder who is interested in the intersection of electronics development, sensors, and integration into high-volume consumer products. Hustle and a figure-it-out attitude are key, along with an interest in growing your career with a high degree of autonomy and ownership.
Responsibilities
- Work with our engineering team in developing 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.
- Validate and test software using hardware (test jigs and product prototypes).
Requirements
- 3-5 years of industry experience shipping hardware products.
- General electronics knowledge, including microcontrollers, sensor technologies, communication protocols, and motor control.
- PCB schematic capture and layout experience (preferably with Altium Designer).
- Familiarity with test equipment, soldering, and debugging techniques.
- Medium to advanced experience with embedded firmware development (C/C++).
- Ability to share a portfolio of past work.
Skills
- Bonus Skills:
- Python, Unix/Linux.
- Fabricating physical prototypes (3D printing, laser cutting, etc.).
- Passion for making things.
