Duration: 12 Months+
Job Summary
We are seeking an experienced Senior Electrical Engineer to join our Hardware Engineering team, supporting New Product Development (NPD) for refrigerated transportation systems. The ideal candidate will have strong experience in end-to-end electrical hardware development, mixed-signal PCB design, PCBA validation, and power distribution. This role will involve designing, developing, testing, and validating ruggedized electronic hardware for mission-critical transport refrigeration control systems. The engineer will own the hardware development lifecycle, from concept and schematic design through PCB layout, prototype testing, validation, and production release. Experience designing electronics for harsh operating environments and managing electrical transients is highly preferred.
Responsibilities
- Lead end-to-end electrical hardware design and development for new product development and sustaining engineering projects.
- Design, develop, and validate mixed-signal printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs), including schematic capture and PCB layout.
- Develop analog front-end (AFE) circuits and sensor interfaces for RTDs, NTC thermistors, pressure transducers, and current-sensing applications.
- Design power distribution circuits, actuator drivers, and control panel electronics for fans, pumps, solenoids, contactors, and electronic expansion valves.
- Develop robust power and transient protection circuits for 12V, 24V, and 48V electrical architectures, including reverse polarity, overvoltage, undervoltage, and load-dump protection.
- Design and integrate communication interfaces such as CAN/J1939, LIN, RS-485/Modbus, and Ethernet.
- Perform PCB schematic capture, component selection, library management, and layout reviews using Altium Designer or similar ECAD tools.
- Ensure PCB designs meet signal integrity, thermal management, high-current routing, creepage, and clearance requirements.
- Support prototype development, board bring-up, debugging, functional testing, and root-cause analysis using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and electronic loads.
- Develop and execute design verification and validation plans (DVP&R), including electrical performance, reliability, and environmental testing.
- Apply design-for-EMC principles and support EMI/EMC testing, troubleshooting, and compliance activities.
- Collaborate with PCB suppliers and contract manufacturers to resolve Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) issues.
- Support pilot builds, manufacturing validation, and transition of electrical hardware designs into high-volume production.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) or a closely related field.
- 5+ years of experience in electrical hardware engineering, PCB design, and product development.
- Strong experience with PCBA design, validation, and testing.
- Hands-on experience with mixed-signal circuit design and analog front-end (AFE) development.
- Experience designing ruggedized electronic hardware for harsh environmental and operating conditions.
- Strong knowledge of power distribution, power electronics, actuator drivers, and circuit protection.
- Proficiency in PCB schematic capture and layout using Altium Designer or similar ECAD tools.
- Experience with New Product Development (NPD), from initial concept through validation and production release.
- Experience with hands-on hardware debugging, troubleshooting, and electrical testing.
- Understanding of electrical transient protection, EMI/EMC requirements, and PCB design best practices.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in refrigerated transportation, automotive, heavy equipment, or industrial control systems.
- Familiarity with automotive electrical standards such as ISO 7637, ISO 16750, and ISO 21780.
- Knowledge of communication protocols such as CAN/J1939, LIN, RS-485/Modbus, and Ethernet.
- Experience with EMC standards and testing, including CISPR 25, ISO 11452, and ISO 10605.
- Experience working with contract manufacturers, PCB suppliers, and high-volume manufacturing environments.

Mid Level Electrical Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a mid level electrical engineer job?
Position yourself around ownership, not just participation. Highlight projects where you drove the design, resolved technical blockers, or delivered something measurable without constant supervision. Tailor your resume to show depth in a specific domain, such as power systems, embedded hardware, or signal integrity, and demonstrate that you can take a scope and run with it independently.
Which companies hire mid level electrical engineers?
Companies hiring mid level electrical engineers right now include WSP, LAPORTE, and Amazon, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Hiring at this level comes from a broad range of employers, including defense contractors, industrial manufacturers, consumer electronics firms, and utilities looking for engineers who can carry projects with minimal hand-holding.
Are there remote mid level electrical engineer jobs?
Yes, though hardware-heavy roles still lean on-site. About 20% of mid level electrical engineer openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, with remote work more common in firmware, FPGA, and systems engineering roles where lab access is less critical. Hybrid arrangements are widespread at companies balancing lab requirements with flexible work policies.
How do I move up to a mid level electrical engineer role?
The move from entry level to mid level comes from accumulating real ownership over time. That means progressing from executing tasks under close supervision to leading discrete deliverables, building a specialty in one area such as PCB layout, power conversion, or controls, and demonstrating impact through completed products, resolved field issues, or improved processes. Consistent exposure to the full project lifecycle accelerates that growth.
Which industries hire the most mid level electrical engineers?
Mid Level electrical engineer roles concentrate in Consulting & Professional Services, Manufacturing, and Electronics & Hardware, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Those sectors drive hiring at this level because they run complex, regulated systems where engineers with a few years of hands-on experience can take real ownership without requiring the oversight a new hire would need.
