We are looking for an Electrical Engineer to join a collaborative Austin-based team with the backing, mentoring, and resources of a global organization. This role supports precision solar measurement products, including RD300i, Mars, and Cell Wash, and is ideal for an electrical engineer who enjoys hands-on product ownership from concept and PCB design through bring-up, validation, NPI, production support, and sustainment.

This is a full-time, on-site position in Austin, Texas.

What you will own

• Design and improve mixed-signal and embedded electronic hardware, including schematic capture, PCB design, and layout review.
• Collaborate closely with firmware engineers to design, validate, and bring up devices, troubleshoot system-level issues, and support reliable product performance.
• Contribute across the full product lifecycle, from ideation and prototypes to productization, manufacturing readiness, release, and ongoing sustainment.
• Partner with production, test, quality, and manufacturing teams to diagnose issues, support new product introduction, and drive lasting corrective actions.
• Work hands-on in the lab with instrumentation, test setups, calibration methods, and troubleshooting tools to improve consistency, yield, and throughput.
• Support products designed for demanding field environments, including outdoor exposure, temperature variation, compliance needs, and customer-site performance.

What you bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related STEM field, such as hardware engineering, computer engineering, physics, or computer science, with strong applied electrical engineering experience.
• 5+ years of hands-on electrical engineering or product hardware experience.
• Experience taking hardware from prototype through validation and into production or field support.
• Strong fundamentals in PCB design, schematics, analog/digital circuits, microcontrollers, and hardware/firmware interfaces; direct sensor experience is helpful but trainable.
• Confidence using oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, signal generators, soldering, and rework tools.
• Clear communication skills, including the ability to explain electrical engineering concepts to technical and non-technical audiences, and a collaborative approach aligned with Veralto’s focus on inclusion, belonging, ownership, and continuous improvement.

Experience that would help you stand out

• Solar, renewable energy, meteorology, industrial instrumentation, outdoor or rugged electronics.

Why join

• A close-knit Austin team with the support, mentors, and expertise of Veralto’s global organization.
• Meaningful ownership across the full product lifecycle, from ideas and prototypes to globally deployed products.
• Opportunity to work on niche solar measurement products that help customers monitor module performance, soiling, and field conditions.
• A hands-on role where your design judgment, lab work, production partnership, and problem-solving directly influence customer outcomes.
