Hardware Design Engineer (EE), Smart Home
Booster, Redwood City, California, United States, 94061
About the Company:
Founded by ex-Apple Product and Engineering leaders, Level is redefining the smart home with technology that is simple, intuitive, useful, and invisible. At Level, we take a unique approach to designing products - one that shifts focus from what we make to how we make it and who we make it for. It’s an approach that results in elegant and unique solutions, raising the bar for the entire smart home ecosystem.Now part of the Assa Abloy family, a global leader in access solutions, Level is positioned to accelerate innovation and expand our reach even further. This partnership strengthens our ability to deliver world-class smart home experiences while maintaining the vision and design excellence that have always set us apart.About the Role:
As a Hardware Design Engineer (Electrical), you will help choose (and justify) tools and technologies to meet and exceed the requirements in categories such as reducing power consumption and battery life, physical size, RF performance and usability. You will work with cross-functional teams to prototype, implement, prove out and deploy products to production. We are always looking for ways to improve existing products and, in this role, you’ll be able to bring new, elegant solutions and novel insights to the table.Responsibilities:
Oversee and participate in the creation of products from prototype to mass productionOwn high-level hardware system architecture and schematicsBuild, assemble and test initial product prototypesBoard bring-up and debuggingInteract with mechanical and firmware engineers on a near-daily basis to implement requirementsMaintain BOMs, schematics, layouts and other relevant documentationRequired Qualifications:
2+ years of experience as an electrical engineer, having successfully shipped at least one productStrong understanding of electrical engineering fundamentals, both digital and analogExperience with schematic entry and PCB layout softwareExperience with low power electronics and optimizing power consumptionSkilled at using lab benchtop equipment (power supplies, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power meters, battery analyzers)Experience hand-building & testing prototypes (hand soldered / reflow)Self-motivated, capable of working quickly and independently on a small team, and excited to solve complex problemsExcellent communicator, including to non-technical audiencesGreat to have, but not strictly required:
Experience with ME 3D data formats, 3D printer experienceFamiliarity with design for ESD & test proceduresRF-related design experience or familiarity: BLE / LoRa / WiFi layout & matchingCadence / Allegro layout experienceBasic Python scripting / firmware skills for testing
