What are we up to?
Stratos Card is a Bluetooth low energy connected device in a card form factor that combines your plastic cards into a single, dynamic card. Credit, debit, loyalty, membership and gift cards can be loaded into our single mobile-connected card. Shared benefits of a Connected Card include backward compatibility with existing point of sale (POS) infrastructure, coupled with a solution that is reliable, accepted, smart, and simple. We condense those chunky wallets while providing an extra layer of security with every swipe!
How you will make an impact
The Electrical Engineer will work with internal and external hardware and firmware resources to evaluate, choose and qualify parts and their related tool environments that will be essential in the design of future versions of our product. You will support the engineering team through electronic design and debug, implementation, and involvement in system development and planning.
A day in the life
* Design, build, bring-up and test prototype and production level PCBAs.
* Ensure PCBAs are designed, produced and documented in line with established methodology, standards and procedures and support the formal release of work products (specifications, designs) into use.
* Perform system integration and debug (requiring a working knowledge of FW and MCU development tools)
* Assist with early requirements definition; translate product requirements into detailed hardware requirements.
* Optimize designs for cost (through component selection, etc.) and ease of manufacturing and assembly.
* Select and qualify components and designs based on specification analysis, component availability, reliability and power consumption.
* Lead product development and assist in production troubleshooting efforts.
* Work with cross-functional engineering team including mechanical, firmware, software, manufacturing, and quality and program management.
Your creds
* Minimum of B.S. in Electrical Engineering or equivalent.
* At least 5 years of total work experience; minimum of 4 years of relevant experience is required.
* Experience with PCB layout tool (e.g., Altium) and PCB debug.
* Microcontroller design experience.
* Embedded system design experience.
