Electrical Engineer - Electronics & Hardware Design Electric Era was founded to decarbonize and electrify transportation by making EV charging widespread and affordable. Transitioning the global car refill supply chain to electric will take decades of focused and intense work to solve the fundamental engineering challenges required to generate, store, transmit, and distribute electricity for a global fleet of electric cars. Today, Electric Era designs, implements, and manages a rapidly growing fleet of battery-backed DC fast charging stations across the US from our Seattle, WA facility. Coupling energy storage systems with fast charging allows us to minimize infrastructure upgrade requirements and decrease the cost of electricity for our customers. We are hiring to support the development of our next-generation charging station, a multidisciplinary hardware design effort aimed at further improving station uptime and charging reliability, enriching driver interactions, and streamlining construction and implementation timelines. Charging stations operate at the intersection of consumer-facing electronics and grid-scale electrical infrastructure, presenting a challenging set of engineering problems, including safety-critical analog system monitoring, AI-assisted interactions, user interface elements, power system design, remote management interfaces including RF connectivity, and thermal and packaging co-design within mechanical constraints. Responsibilities: Take complete ownership of electrical hardware modules managing site energy, driver interaction, HMI, thermal management, and control. Drive system trades, requirements capture, detailed design, component selection, schematic capture, PCB layout, and DFM. Present and defend design decisions in reviews. Own prototyping, hardware bring-up, debugging, documentation, manufacturing, and testing of these modules. Contribute to certification efforts, including functional safety certifications for electronic designs. Challenge design criteria, find simple solutions to complex problems, and eliminate unnecessary requirements and parts. Required Skills: Bachelor's degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering. Experience in hardware design. Schematic entry and PCB layout experience; knowledge of Altium is a plus. Proficiency with bench power supplies, loads, multimeters, and oscilloscopes. Preferred Skills: 2-6 years of professional experience with a strong project portfolio. Experience developing firmware in C/C++, kernel drivers, or embedded software. Interest in HMI design, including audio I/O. Experience with electronic system certifications like UL 991, UL 1998, IEC 61508, or ISO 26262. Passion for decarbonizing transportation. Strong communication skills. Enthusiasm for multidisciplinary roles within a small team.
