Opportunity

AlpHa Measurement Solutions recognizes the need to own the electrical design and hardware build capability behind its next- measurement transmitters.

This program will deliver a family of loop-powered 4-20mA transmitters with Modbus RTU (RS-485) digital output, Class I Division 2 (C1D2) hazardous location certification, and a sensor portfolio spanning pH, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, optical, and pressure measurement types. AlpHa is seeking a Hardware Electrical Engineer to serve as the electrical design and hands-on build authority for the platform.

This is an equal-weight design-and-bench role. The right candidate is equally comfortable performing a power budget analysis in a spreadsheet and soldering a rework on a 0402 component under a microscope, and will work as a peer to the Firmware Engineer and Mechanical Engineer on the core platform design team.

Our global headquarters is conveniently located in Houston at the southwest intersection of I-69 and Sam Houston Tollway, just north of Sugar Land.

This individual will report to the Sr. Director of Product Engineering.

Classification: Salaried/Exempt, Full-Time, Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and as required to maintain business momentum.

Job Description

Position Summary

The Hardware Electrical Engineer serves as the electrical design and hands-on build authority for the AlpHa transmitter platform. This is an equal-weight design-and-bench role: roughly half the time is spent on circuit design, schematic capture, and systems architecture, and the other half at the bench building prototypes, characterizing performance, and validating designs through certification testing. The platform targets a loop-powered 4-20mA architecture with Modbus RTU digital output, C1D2 hazardous location certification, and a sensor portfolio spanning pH, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, optical, and pressure measurement types.

This role requires both the analytical rigor of an electrical systems engineer and the practical instincts of an experienced technician. The right candidate is equally comfortable doing a power budget an
