Magnet Forensics is a global leader in the development of digital investigative software that acquires, analyzes, and shares evidence from computers, smartphones, tablets, and IoT-related devices. We are continually innovating so our customers can deploy advanced and effective tools to protect their companies, communities, and countries.

Serving thousands of customers globally, our solutions are playing a crucial role in modernizing digital investigations, helping investigators fight crime, protect assets, and guard national security.

With employees based around the world, Magnet Forensics has been expanding our global presence. As a part of Magnet Forensics, you can expect to make a difference in the world, no matter what role you play. You’ll be supported through learning and development, not to mention an incredible team with unbelievable talent and integrity.

If you think you would be the right person to join our team working towards this goal, we would love to hear from you!

What You'll Do

We're seeking a Staff Electrical Engineer to lead the design and delivery of embedded hardware systems used in the most challenging investigative environments. You'll act as a Technical Leader and System Architect across projects, while remaining hands-on with schematic design, validation, and cross-functional integration. You'll play a pivotal role in shaping our hardware roadmap, mentoring engineers, and driving product releases from early concept through to volume production.

Why Join This Particular Team?

  • You're a builder, architect, and systems thinker.
  • You bring clarity in ambiguity and rigor in execution.
  • You're just as comfortable sketching out the next board architecture as you are mentoring a Junior Engineer through a tricky debug session.
  • You think about scale, reuse, and production from the outset.
  • You've shipped products and felt the weight of what it means to be responsible for their design—and you like it.

NOTE : Candidate must reside in The United States or Canada.

Key Responsibilities :

  • Lead system-level architecture and electrical design of embedded hardware platforms.
  • Drive schematic capture and direct PCB layout strategy for complex digital, mixed-signal, and power systems.
  • Own bring-up and electrical validation across functional domains (digital logic, power, sensors, interfaces).
  • Collaborate across firmware, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to deliver tightly integrated, production-ready systems.
  • Lead root-cause analysis and corrective actions on design and field issues.
  • Guide component selection, BOM optimization, and sourcing strategy in partnership with supply chain.
  • Author and enforce electrical design standards, review practices, and documentation templates.
  • Mentor Junior Engineers and review design work across the team.
  • Requirements :

  • 10+ years of hands-on experience designing and shipping embedded electronic products.
  • Deep knowledge of board-level digital design, signal integrity, power systems, and interface protocols (High speed signals like USB 3.0, PCIe, gig Ethernet, or similar preferred).
  • Proficient in schematic and layout tools (we use KiCad), and confident driving designs through layout, fab, assembly, and test.
  • Extensive experience in board bring-up, lab debugging, and design verification.
  • Familiarity with embedded Linux SoCs, DDR layout, and compliance / EMC considerations.
  • Comfortable leading cross-functional design reviews and collaborating with remote teams.
  • Excellent written communication skills; experience authoring specs, design docs, and test plans.
  • Nice To Haves :

  • Prior work with high-speed interfaces (USB 3.x, Gigabit Ethernet, PCIe, etc.).
  • Experience with secure hardware design, anti-tamper features, and hardware root of trust.
  • Familiarity with FPGAs, especially Xilinx Zynq / ZynqMP platforms.
  • Exposure to compliance testing (EMI / ESD / thermal), including pre-cert practices.
  • Embedded firmware development in C or scripting (Python) for test / validation automation.
  • Compensation & Benefits :

  • The Compensation Range is for the primary location for which the job is posted. Please note that the actual compensation may vary depending on location and job-related factors such as qualifications, experience, knowledge and skills. If you are applying for this role outside of the primary location and you are selected for an interview, the Talent Acquisition Partner can share more information with you.  If the compensation structure for the role includes an incentive component (ie. most Sales roles) the range below represents total target compensation (TTC) (base salary + variable).
  • Compensation Range :

  • MIN : $154,000 - MID : $220,000 - MAX : $264,000 USD
  • MIN : $137,900 - MID : $197,000 - MAX : $236,400 CAD
  • Magnet Forensics is proud to offer Benefits such as :

  • Generous Time Off Policies
  • Competitive Compensation
  • Volunteer Opportunities
  • Reward and Recognition Programs
  • Employee Committees & Resource Groups
  • Healthcare and Retirement Benefits
  • The Most Important Thing
