About the role

Overview

Steinmetz is hiring a hands-on Electrical Engineer to support product development across our power electronics systems. This is a broad role for someone who can move between schematics, PCB reviews, harnesses, test setups, lab debugging, documentation, vendors, and production support. We care less about narrow specialization and more about sound engineering judgment, curiosity, and the ability to get hardware working.

At Steinmetz we deal with incredible challenges, and we have a very high-bar for talent. The ideal person for this role is someone who can take ownership and execute, the type of person who when faced with a challenge can work to find a solution.

What you’ll do

  • Run complex power electronics simulations
  • Perform parasitic PCB extraction
  • Design and bring up production hardware
  • Design and bring up manufacturing line hardware
  • Debug real hardware problems: EMI, grounding, thermal issues, manufacturing defects, etc.

Must-Haves

  • Ability to learn on the spot
  • Resilience
  • Moderate experience designing electronics

About Steinmetz
