Hardware Design Engineer (EE), Smart Home
Redwood City, CAAbout 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.

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 & matchingBasic Python scripting / firmware skills for testingMore about Level Home:
When we look around our homes today, we see opportunity. We see “smart” products that lack utility and connected devices that push us further apart. We see consumers with high expectations, current standards set too low, and products that simply fail to deliver.Level Home Inc. is re-inventing the standard. We’re redefining “smart”, to center around thoughtfulness, practicality, and the people who make the problem worth solving. We approach product design with a blank slate, zero assumptions, and an open mind, because the way a problem is defined sets the stage for its solution. We couple deep expertise with unbridled curiosity, because to us “smart” means simple, intuitive, and useful.We start with empathy, take new perspectives, and challenge existing standards. People are at the heart of what we do, and respecting their style, choices, and preferences is the first step to uncovering a thoughtful solution that truly improves their daily lives. After all, we’re not just designing products for a house, we are designing them for the people who make it a home.Level Home Inc. is an Equal Opportunity Employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, disability or genetic information, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin.
