Electrical Engineer, Hardware Design

AI Talent Now job # ZR 109

Electrical Engineer, Hardware Design!

We are looking for an Electrical Engineer with 2+ years of experience building physical hardware to join our lean, high-impact team designing the next generation of solar-powered highway camera systems. You're someone who has owned a full PCB design end-to-end, seen your hardware fail in the real world, and learned from it. This company is scaling from dozens of deployed cameras to hundreds across the country, and we need methodical, hands-on engineers who can make our hardware more robust, reliable, and manu-facturable. This is a role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, loves getting their hands dirty, and is excited to solve open-ended problems — from designing circuits to testing them on the highway.

What will you be doing?

• Designing, iterating, and testing PCBs and circuits in Altium — owning the full lifecycle from schematic capture through manufacturing and field deployment
  

• Working in the electronics lab with oscilloscopes, power supplies, and other test equipment to debug and validate hardware
  

• Improving hardware robustness and reliability to support nationwide scaling of solar-powered camera systems under tight power budgets
  

• Writing embedded C/C++ or Python code to test, spin up, and validate hardware designs
  

• Collaborating across embedded systems, operations, and software teams — and occasionally traveling quarterly for field installations and calibration
  

This dynamic company builds solar-powered camera systems deployed on highways for tolling, speed enforcement, and traffic management — processing 11 million images daily with computer vision. They're the tolling industry's prime tech infrastructure with a vertically integrated hardware + software product.

Profitable company backed by Y Combinator and Maniv Mobility. Lean team of ~30 engineers going from 1 to 100 - this is the moment to join and own critical hardware that scales nationally.

This role is ideal for an Electrical Engineer who would be owning full PCB design end-to-end. Comp ranges $140K-$180K+ base with meaningful equity (including periodic buyback opportunities).

**Denver-based, 4-5 days in office.

Requirements
