Job Description

Position Summary

We are seeking a Hardware Engineer with strong experience in digital and analog circuit design, including systems powered directly from AC mains. This role focuses on the design and development of mixed-signal hardware platforms that interface with high-voltage AC power, convert and regulate power safely, and integrate precision analog and digital control systems.

The ideal candidate has hands-on experience designing offline power supplies, understanding regulatory requirements, and bringing products from concept through certification and production.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and develop digital and analog circuits for mixed-signal embedded systems.
  • Design circuits operating from AC mains (120/230VAC), including:AC-DC power conversion (flyback, buck, PFC, isolated/non-isolated topologies) Rectification, filtering, and surge protection Inrush current limiting and EMI filtering Isolation strategies (optocouplers, transformers, digital isolators)
  • Design and validate power supply subsystems (LDOs, DC-DC converters, battery backup systems as applicable).
  • Implement protection circuitry (overcurrent, overvoltage, thermal protection, short-circuit protection).
  • Ensure compliance with safety and regulatory standards (UL, IEC, CE, FCC, etc.).
  • Perform creepage and clearance analysis in PCB layout for high-voltage sections.
  • Develop and review PCB layouts with attention to:High-voltage isolation barriers EMI/EMC mitigation Signal integrity and grounding strategies
  • Design analog front ends (AFEs) including amplifiers, filters, ADC/DAC interfaces, and sensor signal conditioning.
  • Integrate microcontrollers and digital interfaces (SPI, I2C, UART, USB, Ethernet as applicable).
  • Conduct circuit simulations (SPICE) and worst-case/tolerance analysis.
  • Develop and execute hardware validation and compliance test plans.
  • Troubleshoot and debug boards using oscilloscopes, differential probes, current probes, isolation transformers, and other lab instrumentation.
  • Support product certification testing and manufacturing ramp.
  • Create thorough design documentation and support DFM/DFT reviews.

Qualifications

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
  • 5+ years of experience in digital and analog hardware design.
  • Hands-on experience designing circuits powered from AC mains.
  • Experience with offline AC-DC power supply design and switching regulators.
  • Strong understanding of:High-voltage safety practices Isolation techniques Creepage/clearance requirements EMI/EMC design principles
  • Experience with schematic capture and PCB design tools (e.g., Altium, OrCAD, Cadence, KiCad).
  • Proficiency in SPICE-based simulation tools.
  • Strong hands-on lab debugging skills.
  • Working knowledge of regulatory and safety standards for mains-powered equipment.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with power factor correction (PFC) design.
  • Familiarity with surge immunity and ESD standards.
  • Experience participating in UL/IEC certification processes.
  • Experience with thermal design and power dissipation analysis.
  • Knowledge of embedded firmware interaction and system-level integration.
  • Experience supporting products from prototype through mass production.

Key Competencies

  • Strong understanding of safe high-voltage design practices
  • Analytical and detail-oriented
  • Structured problem-solving approach
  • Ownership mindset from concept to production
  • Effective cross-functional collaboration

COMPENSATION

  • The base salary range is $90,000 - $150,000. The salary range listed is an estimate. Pay at Savant is determined by multiple factors including, but not limited to, a candidate’s geographical location, relevant education, experience and skills and an evaluation of internal pay equity.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
