Are you driven to innovate? Are you energized by the excitement of developing next generation technology with a proven and successful entrepreneurially focused market leader? Are you looking to join a team of A-players who keep customers first and take their work – but not themselves – seriously?

Primex is a leading provider of integrated time synchronization and environmental monitoring solutions, serving customers across education, healthcare, and other industries. We are seeking a strategic and results-driven Electrical Engineer for the Sync & Notify product lines.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on problem solver with a diverse portfolio of built work and a deep passion for complex electromechanical systems. Experience with various PCBA software tools, entrepreneurship or consulting, aerospace, or consumer electronics is a plus.

Above all, we’re looking for someone with a positive “can-do” attitude, strong collaboration skills, and the ability to embrace challenges and learn from failures to create products that users love.

Responsibilities:

• Design and develop PCBs and embedded electrical systems for IoT devices, ensuring low power consumption, miniaturization, and reliable wireless connectivity.
• Work with RF, BLE, Wi-Fi, LoRa, and other communication hardware and protocols to ensure robust connectivity and signal integrity.
• Work with Real-Time Clocks (RTCs) and precision timing circuits to ensure highly accurate timekeeping, synchronization, and drift compensation in IoT systems.
• Conduct power management optimization to extend battery life in low-power IoT devices.
• Troubleshoot and debug circuit designs, prototypes, and production issues using oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and other diagnostic tools.

• Work closely with embedded software engineers to develop board support packages and troubleshoot hardware integration issues.
• Ensure compliance with FCC, CE, UL, and other regulatory standards for consumer and industrial IoT products.
• Conduct design reviews, risk assessments, and failure mode analysis to improve product quality and reliability.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including embedded software engineers, mechanical designers, and product managers, to deliver end-to-end IoT solutions.
• Produce high-quality technical documentation, including schematics, wiring diagrams, and product specifications.
• Stay up to date with emerging IoT technologies, sensor integrations, and power-efficient design techniques.

Required Qualifications:

• B.S. Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent combination of education and experience
• 5+ years in electrical engineering, with a preferred focus on IoT, embedded systems, and wireless communication.
• Strong knowledge of electrical circuit design, PCB layout, and simulation tools (e.g., Altium, OrCAD, SPICE, AutoCAD Electrical).
• Strong experience with microcontrollers (ARM Cortex, ESP32, STM32, etc.) and sensor integration
• Familiarity with battery management, power supply design, and energy harvesting techniques.
• Writing, reviewing, and carrying out test plans at both the board level and product level of a complex electrical system
• Serial digital communication knowledge (UART, I2C, SPI)
• Hands-on experience with measurement and test equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, etc)
• Experience with EMI/EMC compliance testing and certification processes.
• Comfortable taking a product from concept to shipping
• Self-guided in taking a non-functioning electrical system prototype and diagnosing the problem, perform design updates, and documenting solutions and validation tests.
• Passion for learning and problem solving
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills

Preferred Qualifications:

• Proficiency with Altium PCB design software
• Basic skills with SolidWorks mechanical design software
• Experience with RF applications, including integration, troubleshooting and testing of radios and GPS receivers
• Experience with radio communications systems such as serial and Ethernet modems, Wi-Fi, etc.
• Expertise in high-speed communication technologies such as USB and Ethernet.
• Background in developing high-reliability and/or safety-critical electrical systems with fault-tolerant design redundancy
• Proficiency with git or other version control systems
• Knowledge of design principles to minimize electromagnetic emissions and improve immunity to electromagnetic interference
