Description

Contract - Electrical Engineer

Candidates must reside within commuting distance of our Boulder, CO office. Relocation assistance is not available. Only local candidates will be considered

This position is an short-term electrical engineering position that will focus on the analysis and redesign of a customer ethernet switching PCBA. The contractor will focus on taking the current implementation, finding a cheaper, more reliable alternative board-mounted ethernet switch and then redesigning the PCBA to fit the existing size and connector constraints. Responsibilities will also include working with the purchasing team for quoting and procuring first prototypes, bringing up prototypes, working with firmware engineers to revise the board firmware as necessary, and supporting testing and EC release. This position is estimated to be an approximately five month tenure, averaging 20 hours per week.

Electrical engineer with the following experience:

  • Ethernet stack and switching
  • PCBA schematic analysis and revision
  • PCBA card layout and implementation, especially incorporating high-speed lanes
  • PCBA bring up and test
  • Firmware design and implementation using C/C


Compensation: $110-$130/hr While this salary range is a good faith and reasonable estimate, a candidate’s actual salary will be competitive based on a variety of factors including the candidate’s knowledge, skills, and experience within the range.

Estimated duration: Average of 20 hr/wk for five months (this will be variable due to wait times with suppliers)
