We continue to selectively broaden our customer base,
You may be ready for a change,
Lets Talk!

We offer competitive salaries depending on your experience. We also have a bonus plan and all those benefits you would expect. 

About Us

We design products for our customers. They are a diverse bunch and they really like us:

Medical
Gizmos to help your doctor – removing clots, zapping nerves, feeding your baby, weighing your medicine

Industrial
Things factories use – laser markers, robot controls, wireless gas and fluid detectors, pumps and other stuff you use while wearing gloves

Commercial
Think big fancy coffee machines at your local bean dealer, restaurant bread ovens and burger makers

Military
Helping advance the technology of our men and women in uniform like staying safe from toxins, and keeping the power on in the field

Qualities you bring to the position

  • Like working with top embedded engineers
  • Use the latest lab test equipment to troubleshoot your guitar amp
  • Like looking at electronic schematics (don’t be embarrassed, we do too)
  • Know your way around datasheets (I mean, it’s more entertaining than watching the House of Dragon).
  • Like to work with the latest technology
  • Love to bring products to life
  • You’re self-motivated, meet deadlines, enjoy leading and mentoring
  • Seek continuous improvement, research, and are collaborative (like The Beatles before Yoko came along)
