COMPANY OVERVIEW

Since 2013, our founding mission at StrongArm Technologies has been and remains to keep the world’s

Industrial Athletes™ proud, protected and productive. We achieve this through our pioneering FUSE safety

wearables and the actionable ergonomic data they provide to individuals and management across numerous job types, industries and operating environments. 

The Industrial Athlete™ is the beating heart of everything we represent and strive for here at StrongArm - the essential, frontline workers of the world who put their bodies on the line to perform a critical job function that positively impacts lives beyond their own. But that responsibility doesn’t come without its

consequences. Far too often, preventable workplace injuries lead to lost shifts, missed paychecks and

threatened livelihoods. That, to us, is unacceptable. 

In order to most effectively prevent injuries in a given operational environment, we work closely with each client across many dedicated and leading-edge teams, including client services, data and engineering, IT

security and others. Each safety program is tailored to the needs of the workers on the ground and the

managers who oversee them, including what types of safety wearables and attachment options will suit

them best, and the look and cadence of the safety reports that we’ll provide. The result is an actionable

and scalable safety solution that seamlessly becomes part of a facility’s daily routine and is proven to

prevent workplace injuries by as much as 64% across hundreds or thousands of Industrial Athletes.

POSITION OVERVIEW:

As a Senior Hardware Engineer II, you will play a vital role in responsible for working on the existing hardware and creating the next generation wearable hardware StrongArm needs to keep the industrial athlete safe. This includes designing many different PCBs, working closely with other Hardware Engineers, Software Engineers and technical design partners to develop firmware, and with manufacturing partners to bring your designs to life.  The tools you need to know include ECAD and bench tools required to make sure that designs are working.

You are both excited and experienced in taking concepts quickly from scratch to functional prototypes at the scale of a few dozen to designing an optimized system for manufacturing in the 10,000+ units at scale. You understand the various needs of working with contract manufacturers, from specifications to full design packages to transition your designs to real products. You’ve been on the manufacturing floor a few times and have rubbed elbows working with operators to ensure your designs are built with the right quality and specifications. We are looking for a self-driven engineer with exceptional analytical abilities who is confident to span the topics of signal processing, electrical engineering and embedded firmware engineering. You will work alongside and report directly to the Director of Embedded Systems.ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:

Delivery of HW products with the highest quality and Cross Team Awareness:

• Design new hardware to solve existing problems
• Own the existing hardware platforms making iterative improvements
• Ensure that translation between business requirements and physical hardware is achieved.
• Develop HW component and system level specifications
• Develop HW verification and functional test plans
• Develop schematic and PCB designs with high-speed practices
• Work with FAB House to generate stackups and set the design in motion
• Work with teams to improve techniques, manage parts libraries, and share knowledge.
• Work with Production and Manufacturing Teams to implement best-practices design for manufacturing (DFM).
• Lead schematic and layout reviews for designs
• Develop functional tests to support quality assurance
• Working on optimizing performance, generating new features on our wearable sensors and smart docks.
• Work closely with other HW and SW engineers and clients’ teams to optimize, design and debug products
• Prototype starting from PoC to full-scale deployment, bringing new embedded solutions to life. 

Key Requirements / Qualifications:

• Completed BS or MS in one of Electrical Engineering, Computer Systems Engineering, Computer Science or similar experience in digital / sensor / wearable hardware development
• 7+ years’ work experience in digital / IOT / sensor / wearable hardware development or related consumer electronics devices from early prototyping to mass scaled manufacturing and delivery. 
• Experience with CAD/EDA tools (i.e. altium) for schematic entry, library creation and PCB layout
• Experience with high-speed digital / sensor / wearable design, power management, and a variety of local buses and interfaces
• Ability to independently read and understand electrical schematics, including hardware bring-up
• PCB layout design for RF, digital, sensor, wearable, analog, and mixed signal circuits.
• Experience with test equipment such as signal generators, multimeters, oscilloscopes, etc.
• Hands-on experience with laboratory test and debug
• Perform bench tests to validate components and prototype designs
• Testing embedded software and test automation
• Attentive to details, follow-through and be able to work with minimal supervision
• Experience using and debugging issues with I2C/SPI buses
• Experience interfacing with design partners and hardware manufacturers
• Experience collecting information from many sensors.
• Experience working with various certifications such as CE, FCC, ATEX, etc
• Local candidate only. Ability to travel to our New York HQ frequently on an as needed basis and/or communicate to our HQ office every day unless otherwise

Preferred Qualifications

• RF - Developing interactions using LoRA, Bluetooth/BLE, and Wifi protocols. Coherently design and explain connected devices, and the network(s) that support them.
• Experience with quaternion mathematics
• In-depth understanding of Physics and physical properties of conditions around a wearable sensor.
• 2+ years implementation and operation experience with Zephyr
