What are the responsibilities and job description for the Hardware Design Engineer position at JPS?

At JPS, we design products to enhance audio communications systems by making them more versatile and robust. For over 30 years, we have provided innovative solutions to solve modern challenges for a variety of industries - both public and private.

Responsibilities

We are seeking a full-time Hardware Design Engineer to work with our two primary product lines. The key responsibilities of this role include:

  • Direct involvement in the hardware design process.
  • Verifying prototype hardware.
  • Diagnosing hardware manufacturing defects.
  • Serving as the technical interface to our contract manufacturers.
  • Maintaining up-to-date product manufacturing documentation.
  • Writing prototype software (C or C in Linux) to validate and demonstrate hardware interaction.

Why This Job Might Be For You

  • You enjoy a small company atmosphere, including flexibility.
  • You will have your own office, plus dedicated lab space.
  • Your contributions will make a difference.

  • The position is targeted to be filled immediately.
  • Anticipated salary range of $100,000 to $125,000, depending on relevant work experience and technical skill level.

As JPS is a small company, being a self-starter and solving problems on your own is essential. You will need to be able to understand a schematic, and you will need to check documentation details meticulously. Over time, you will be asked to converse with customers dealing with in-depth hardware issues. Follow-through is important and expected, but there will be plenty of support from other team members. JPS has an enjoyable corporate culture maintained by people willingly doing their part without heavy-handed oversight.

  • Facilitating processing of design change documentation for both hardware and software.
  • Serving as the primary technical interface to our off-site manufacturers and outside design firms, including answering technical questions, sourcing replacement components, and distributing updated product documentation.
  • Learning the fundamentals of our various products in active development.
  • Sourcing and replacing obsolete components.
  • Providing thoughtful feedback regarding future product development.
  • Ensuring overall manufacturing consistency and quality.

Our Ideal Candidate Must Possess

  • 5 years of professional experience in a related role.
  • Experience in schematic capture and/or PCB layout using tools such as OrCAD or DipTrace.
  • In-depth knowledge of product development processes, including ideation, design, and testing.
  • Proficiency in using test and laboratory equipment such as multimeter, soldering iron, signal generator, and oscilloscope.
  • Ability to communicate and collaborate effectively and efficiently.
  • Attention to detail, strong organization skills, and a passion for quality.

Our Ideal Candidate Would Also Possess

  • Bachelor’s or Associate’s degree in a technical field.
  • General understanding of hardware manufacturing processes.
  • Basic understanding of Linux, C, C , and Make.
  • Basic understanding of IP networking, SSH, and FTP.
  • Basic understanding of analog to digital audio conversion.
  • Familiarity with hardware component procurement processes.
