Design and own electronics for consumer hardware from R&D through mass production. Create circuits, PCB schematics/layouts, integrate sensors/displays/microcontrollers, maintain BOMs, build and test prototypes, and develop embedded firmware.
Join REEKON Tools as we enable the next generation of construction and home improvement professionals to complete their work quicker, more accurately, and faster than ever before. REEKON Tools is developing and launching innovative, completely new, hardware products at an unprecedented pace across the power and hand tool industry and establishing itself as a leader in professional tools and equipment.
We are looking for an Electronic Design Engineer who bridges the gap between real-world physics, sensor electronics, and physical hardware. This is a role for a physical-world generalist who understands how light, motion, magnetic fields, vibration, and force interact with custom drive electronics to produce precise physical measurements. You will own the physical hardware bring-up pipeline - from selecting raw sensor elements and designing custom analog/driver electronics, to integrating them into rugged mechanical enclosures, and writing just enough firmware and Python code to test your system and ensure its reliability
REEKON has an exciting roadmap of new products and categories we are working on and looking for a passionate builder who is interested in the intersection of electronics development, sensors, and integration into high volume consumer products. Hustle and figure-it-out attitude interesting in growing their career with a high degree of autonomy and ownership.
