About Lowtemp Industries

Lowtemp Industries

is a Colorado-based manufacturer of premium solventless extraction and processing equipment for the cannabis and hemp industry. We design, build, and support rugged, precision-engineered systems used by craft producers and global MSOs alike. 2025 was a growth year for us with a small team: new product lines, expanding automation, and no shortage of new ideas. We’ve recently expanded our footprint, so going into 2026, you have a chance to help shape the future of the Engineering team at Lowtemp Industries as we work to make our systems more robust and future-proof.

Role Summary

You will be the hands-on

Embedded Hardware Engineer

for all new product development and existing product sustainment programs, from initial whiteboard sketches through pilot runs and ongoing support. Expect a mix of PCB design, embedded controls, and cross-disciplinary problem solving. You'll also assist with component sourcing strategies (domestic \& international) and will collaborate daily with a small, motivated team of mechanical designers, firmware developers, operations staff, and global manufacturers.

Key Responsibilities

• 50% Electrical Engineering \& PCB Design

Architect, simulate, lay out, and validate mixed-signal PCBs (MCUs, power electronics, sensors, comms). Create complete documentation (schematics, BOMs, gerbers, pick and place, drill files, assembly procedures, etc.).

*

• 30% Project \& Cross-Team Collaboration

Drive electrical work-streams within NPD projects, maintain schedules, interface with mechanical and firmware teams, and report progress to leadership.

*

• 10% Continuous Improvement

Solve problems in-situ and in production. Establish best practices for DFM/DFT, develop test fixtures, coordinate with co-manufacturing partners, and mentor technicians.

*

• 10% Automation \& Controls

Design PLC/HMI or micro-controller-based control schemes. Assist with PLC/HMI troubleshooting.

Must-Have Qualifications

• BSEE

or similar and

2–4 years experience

designing production PCBs

• Proven track record of bringing at least

two mechatronic products

from concept to production.

• Expertise in

embedded controls

(embedded C/C\+\+ and Python) and sensor integration (temp, pressure, load cells, encoders).

• Experience using

Altium

for PCB Design, Wiring Harness Design, and Component Creation.

• Strong

troubleshooting chops

and a systematic approach to root-cause analysis. You need to be comfortable solving problems in poorly or under-documented spaces using nothing but First Principles, Oscilloscopes, DMMs, Programmable Power Supplies, and other electrical tools.

• Excellent

organizational skills

; able to juggle multiple proto builds while keeping documentation current (ECOs, rev control, risk logs, etc.).

• Solid communicator

who thrives in a tight-knit, entrepreneurial environment.

• A strong sense of

ownership

and

pride

! We take extreme responsibility here and love the work we do.

Nice-to-Have

• Familiarity with

parametric CAD

(Fusion or SolidWorks) to collaborate on enclosure and harness layouts.

• Familiarity with

industrial and electrical equipment standards

(e.g., NFPA 70, UL 508A and 61010-1)

• Familiarity with

CE marking directives

(e.g., Low Voltage Directive, EMC Directive).

• Familiarity with

cannabis and/or food-grade processing equipment standards

(e.g., FDA 21 CFR).

• Experience using

JLCPCB or similar PCB procurement.

• Experience using and writing

PLC Ladder Logic

.

What We Offer

• Compensation \& Benefits:

$85-105k base depending on YOE, with additional bonus opportunities. Includes medical/dental/vision, paid parental leave, and generous PTO.

• Impact:

Your designs ship within months, not years, and are adopted by industry-leading processors.

• Growth:

Access to professional development budget and opportunity to build an electrical team as we scale.

Work Here If:

• You work well in a small team.
• You are motivated and excited about making cool sh*t.
• You’re self-driven and able to prioritize independently
• You want to see your products make it to market and be utilized at the cutting edge of industry.
• You have a creative, modern mindset, and you are always interested in new technologies.

Do Not Work Here If:

• You want to hide in a big corporate crowd.
• You like being ignored at your job.
• You want to be told exactly what to do and when to do it
• You aren't passionate about creation, innovation, and new technologies.
