This role focuses on high‑accuracy measurement, robust hardware design, and close collaboration across engineering disciplines to deliver safe, reliable solutions for utility customers worldwide.

Duties and Responsibilities

  • Design and validate precision analog and power circuitry for high‑voltage (up to 240 V) electricity metering applications, emphasizing accuracy, safety, and long‑term reliability.

  • Develop AC‑to‑DC power supplies, including magnetics, isolation, protection, and efficiency optimization.

  • Perform hands‑on prototype builds, debug, and characterization using lab and environmental test equipment.

  • Minimize RF emissions while optimizing cost.

  • Drive root‑cause analysis, support regulatory compliance, and contribute to manufacturing test and calibration strategies.

  • Collaborate with firmware, systems, mechanical, compliance, and manufacturing teams throughout the product lifecycle.

  • Participate in design reviews and mentor junior engineers, promoting strong engineering practices and an inclusive team culture.

Required Skills & Experience

  • 5+ years of experience in analog and power electronics design, including AC‑to‑DC power supplies and related high‑reliability circuits.

  • Experience with high‑voltage or energy‑connected electronics and regulated products (e.g., utility, industrial, or safety‑critical systems).

  • Strong understanding of analog accuracy, noise, thermal effects, and long‑term stability, with a focus on delivering dependable field performance for customers.

  • Proficiency with lab equipment schematic capture, circuit simulation, and high‑voltage PCB layout best practices.

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or closely related field.

  • Demonstrated ability to work accountably and independently while contributing to collaborative, cross‑functional teams in a dynamic, agile environment.

  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to clearly document designs, share results, and engage authentically with teammates and stakeholders across disciplines.

Preferred Skills & Experience

  • Experience with utility metering, general metrology, precision instrumentation, or similar high‑accuracy measurement systems.

  • Exposure to regulatory specification, design, and validation (e.g., ANSI, UL, or equivalent standards relevant to energy and metering products).

  • Awareness of cost‑effective surge protection techniques and other protection strategies for field‑deployed energy systems.

  • Background working in a technology company supporting utilities, energy, or smart cities, with a customer‑centric mindset and familiarity with the challenges faced by utility customers.

  • Demonstrated commitment to inclusive teamwork, knowledge‑sharing, and mentoring within diverse engineering teams.
