Responsibilities
- 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.
Requirements
- We are multiple startups in one: Deep Tech, AI/ML, Hardware, SaaS, and IoT.
- 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.
- Whether at work or as a hobbyist (Raspberry Pi, ESP32, custom PCBs) we want to see what you’ve brought to life. - PCB Design: you understand the principles of design, from schematic capture to layout.
- 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 Strong differentiators -
- 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 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 Our Technical Ecosystem : While we value problem-solving over specific syntax, skills that transfer well are: - Languages: Python, TypeScript, C/C++ - Tools: Altium, Onshape, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers - Infrastructure: Linux, IoT Edge Devices, AWS - Specialties: Edge Computer Vision, CAD, weatherproofing, outdoor
- REQUIREMENTS: - Education: MS or BS in Electrical Engineering - Mindset: You are excited to work at a startup and be part of a core engineering team.
- Go travel, write a book, or master a new hobby—then come back and tell us all about it.
Experience
- EXPERIENCE: - 2+ years of actually building physical hardware.
Benefits

Additional details
- Work at Blissway: Opportunity for Impact Every Day 🚀✨ Blissway is a startup that simplifies toll collection and dramatically improves highway safety.
- 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
- 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.
- As the team grows, we are looking to add someone strong enough to own a full PCB design end-to-end.
- You'll own boards from concept through field deployment, and you'll be expected to catch each other's mistakes. - Collaborate with software, and manufacturing teams — and know how to coordinate across those boundaries without creating gaps - Contribute to Blissway's transition from rapid-prototyping mode to structured, repeatable product development
- We use Altium but understand that the underlying knowledge is what is important, not the tool's brand. - End-to-end PCB design ownership: aside from design principles, you have real
