Develop schematics and PCB layouts for virtual fencing collars and supporting equipment.
Integrate microcontrollers, positioning modules, sensors, wireless radios, and collar output circuitry.
Design battery-powered systems, including charging, protection, voltage regulation, and power monitoring.
Develop and debug embedded firmware for positioning, virtual boundary detection, sensors, communications, and collar operation.
Implement fault detection and defined device behaviour during low-battery, positioning, or connectivity failures.
Bring up prototype boards and troubleshoot hardware and firmware issues.
Measure and optimize power consumption, battery life, and system reliability.
Select components and maintain bills of materials, design documentation, and manufacturing files.
Work with mechanical and field testing teams to address enclosure, environmental, and field performance requirements.
Support PCB fabrication, assembly, testing, and design revisions.

What you’ll bring

A degree in electrical, electronics, or computer engineering, or equivalent relevant experience.
Experience designing schematics and PCB layouts using tools such as Altium, KiCad, or equivalent.
A solid understanding of analog and digital circuits, microcontrollers, and power electronics.
Embedded programming experience in C or C++.
Familiarity with interfaces such as I²C, SPI, UART, and ADCs.
Hands-on experience with board bring-up and electronic test equipment.
An organized approach to documentation, version control, and debugging.

Nice to have

Experience with ESP32-based systems, GPS/GNSS modules, LoRa radios, or other IoT platforms.
Experience with lithium-ion batteries, solar charging, and low-power firmware.
Familiarity with RF layout, antenna integration, and EMC considerations.
Experience with watchdogs, firmware updates, and embedded fault handling.
Experience preparing electronics for manufacturing and production testing.
