The Challenges of Hiring Electrical Engineers
Electrical engineers and engineering managers come in countless forms. They may focus on analog hardware design, digital systems, RF, embedded circuit design, power electronics, brushless DC (BLDC) motors, control circuits, PCB layouts, or firmware. From early R&D to full-scale manufacturing, their skill sets are essential across industries. This diversity often makes it tough for employers to pinpoint the exact qualifications they need and then secure the right professional. Partnering with an experienced technical search firm like 180 Engineering ensures you’ll access highly skilled electrical engineers who align with both the role’s requirements and your company culture.
