About MistyWest
MistyWest is a hardware engineering consultancy that exists to create novel technologies that enable a healthier planet and bring prosperity to all humankind, with a focus primarily on hardware projects that advance the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
About The Role
At MistyWest, as our Electronics Engineer, you will work on various electronic designs and cover all stages of the design process from specifications and high-level design, to testing and release, to manufacturing and support.
You will also work closely with multidisciplinary project teams consisting of project managers, technical leads, engineers of various disciplines, and product designers to complete both product development and research tasks in a variety of industries and market segments.
You will collaborate on:
This is an intermediate engineer role in which the candidate will be expected to self-organize and deliver on electronics design for projects at MW It requires a mid-high degree of experience in component selection, circuit design, and high degree of proficiency in schematic capture, and PCB layout (Altium preferred).
