Electronics Engineer

At Rømer, our product development team is revolutionizing high-bandwidth connectivity by engineering dynamic, scalable, and effortlessly deployable intelligent optical communications technology. *About the Role* We are seeking a proactive, hands-on Electrical Engineer to support hardware development, board bring-up, and electronic debugging across our embedded hardware platforms. In this role, you will contribute to the hardware lifecycle - from schematic capture and PCB layout to bench assembly, testing, and assisting with laboratory test setups and prototypes. If you thrive at the bench with an oscilloscope, enjoy getting hands-on with fine-pitch soldering, and bring a collaborative, positive attitude to solving technical challenges, we’d love to talk to you. *Responsibilities* * *Board Bring-Up & Testing:* Assist with initial hardware bring-up, signal validation, and functional testing for prototype and test systems. * *Schematic Capture & PCB Layout:* Design and update mixed-signal schematics and multi-layer PCB layouts targeting low-voltage, microcontroller-based architectures. * *Bench Debugging:* Troubleshoot, isolate, and resolve hardware issues using standard lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, digital multimeters, signal generators). * *Lab Experiment & Prototype Support:* Help build, maintain, and upgrade experimental lab test setups, custom test benches, and hardware prototypes. * *Prototyping & Board Rework:* Perform fine-pitch hand soldering, component rework, and breadboarding/prototyping during design and testing phases. * *Cross-Functional & Vendor Support:* Work alongside senior electrical, optics, and control systems engineers to integrate light-steering hardware, resolve cross-functional tradeoffs, fit-check enclosures, and coordinate with PCB manufacturing partners. * *Mixed-Signal Circuit Design:* Support the design of analog sensing circuits, low-voltage power management, and digital microcontroller subsystems. *Qualifications* *Experience:* Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent experience) with 3-5 years of practical hardware design experience, including practical project experience taking electronic hardware from concept through functional testing. * *PCB Design:* Proficiency in standard schematic capture and PCB layout tools (e.g., Altium, KiCad, or OrCAD). * *Embedded & Serial Interfaces:* Solid foundational understanding of microcontroller architectures, their design, and common serial communication protocols (SPI, I2C, UART). * *Analog & Digital Electronics:* Strong working knowledge of low-voltage mixed-signal electronics, including analog sensor signal conditioning and power management circuits. * *Lab Skills:* Practical hands-on debugging skills with lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters) and comfortable with fine-pitch soldering and bench rework. * *Mindset:* Proactive problem solver, eager to learn, with strong communication skills and a team-first attitude. *Preferred Skills* * *Firmware & Scripting:* Basic familiarity with microcontroller firmware development (C/C++) or scripting for test automation/data collection (Python). * *Optics Experience:* Exposure to optical systems, beam-steering hardware, transceivers, or optoelectronics integration is a plus. * *Control Systems:* Familiarity with hardware control systems or feedback loops Pay: $130,000.00 - $160,000.00 per year Work Location: In person
