Industry & Context.
figure out what you need to get stuff done
occasional 70+ hour bursts for major releases, occasional late night on the highway calibrating equipment, expected to be at the office 4-5 days per week
What They're Looking For.
Must Have
2+ years of actually building physical hardware, PCB Design: you understand the principles of design, from schematic capture to layout, End-to-end PCB design ownership: aside from design principles, you have real experience taking boards from raw ideas to manufactured and tested hardware, including the software or firmware required, Hardware debugging fluency: e. g. , oscilloscope, logic analyzer, power analyzer in real conditions, not just in school or the lab, Experience designing for reliability: thermal management, power integrity, signal integrity, field environment constraints, Communication protocols at the hardware level: SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet, CAN, Documentation discipline: test plans, manufacturing procedures, design review artifacts, MS or BS in Electrical Engineering, You are excited to work at a startup and be part of a core engineering team, You don't wait for a manual or a step-by-step you figure out what you need to get stuff done and you do it with a professional, "owner" mentality, You understand that in a small team, feedback is the fastest way to level up and you welcome it
Nice to Have
Experience with product lifecycle management: moving a design from prototype through production release, Exposure to environmental and climatic chamber testing: understanding what 'designed for the field' actually requires, Power systems design: solar, battery management, DC-DC conversion for always-on hardware, IoT or edge device experience: hardware that lives unattended in the real world, Experience supporting manufacturing teams and writing documentation for non-engineers, CAD tools for enclosure and mechanical integration work, Embedded C/C++ or Python for test automation, Edge Computer Vision, weatherproofing, outdoor deployment, vertical product integration
What You'll Do.
designing the next generation of Blissway's hardware
own a full PCB design end-to-end
push back when something could be better
bring the kind of process discipline that only comes from shipping real hardware at scale
own boards from concept through field deployment
catch each other's mistakes
Contribute to Blissway's transition from rapid-prototyping mode to structured
repeatable product development
How You'll Work.
Team & Collaboration
Collaborate with software, and manufacturing teams; know how to coordinate across those boundaries without creating gaps; be part of a core engineering team; understand that in a small team, feedback is the fastest way to level up and you welcome it; understands the value of in person collaboration

Full Job Description
Work at Blissway: Opportunity for Impact Every Day 🚀✨ Blissway is a startup that simplifies toll collection and dramatically improves highway safety. We are multiple startups in one: Deep Tech, AI/ML, Hardware, SaaS, and IoT. For the past five years, we have built a nearly insurmountable technological lead in tolling, an industry that is quietly bigger than football. While our competitors have thousands of employees, we operate with a lean but growing team of less than 30. We’ve stayed under the radar, but our impact is visible on the massive Interstate Highway System connecting every major US metro (except Juneau, AK—sorry, Juneau). YOU ARE A GOOD FIT IF... - You love the grind: You take ownership and put in the time to meet deadlines. Our recent team survey showed an average of 50 hours/week, with occasional 70+ hour bursts for major releases. - You are detail obsessed: You have experience writing code that stands up to the unpredictability of the physical world, where the small details are the difference between success and failure. - You are adapatable: We are a lean team. If you only want to work on a "niche thing" or are uncomfortable helping other teams when they need a boost, this isn't the place for you. We expect you to figure out what you need to get stuff done. - You code really well: We mostly use Python and TypeScript, but we don’t care what you’re most proficient in today as long as you learn fast. ELECTRICAL ENGINEER, HARDWARE DESIGN The Mission: Our Electrical Engineers are designing the next generation of Blissway's hardware. As the team grows, we are looking to add someone strong enough to own a full PCB design end-to-end. Review designs, push back when something could be better, and bring the kind of process discipline that only comes from shipping real hardware at scale. This isn't a junior engineer; it's a design partner. You'll own boards from concept through field deployment, and you'll be expected to catch each other's mistakes. - Collabora
