Job Summary

At Skip-Line your next circuit will hit the highway.

Smart sensors. Embedded systems. Machines that move. An industry ready for its next big leap. If that sounds more exciting than designing another gadget destined for a drawer keep reading.

At Skip-Line we build the brains behind modern pavement marking equipment. Our electronic controls sensors and embedded software turn paint trucks into autonomous precision machines that mark highways roads and runways smarter with less waste and better data.

Were the leading technology company in an industry most people drive past without thinking about. Look closer: theres real-time control laser sensing connected hardware and a whole lot of engineering between put paint on pavement and get it right at speed. And were hiring a collaborative passionate Electrical Engineer to help build whats next.

Base Salary: $78000 - $130000 based on experience and demonstrated capabilities.

Location: Hybrid or On-site in Adams Center NY (Remote considered for exceptional candidates).

Work Location

This position is based out of our Adams Center NY office. We strongly prefer candidates located in or willing to relocate to Central or Northern New York who can work a hybrid or in-person schedule as much of the role involves hands-on work with our machines and close collaboration with team members. Fully remote candidates with the right experience will be considered.

What Youll Do:

Youll design build and test (or sometimes break on purpose) the electronics behind our next generation of hardware. Youll work side by side with our embedded product and production teams. Heres what that involves:

Design the electronics behind smart machines: Youll design and build circuits boards and electrical interfaces for controllers sensors and connected pavement marking systems.
Board bring-up: Youll bring new boards to life by building prototypes doing board bring-up and troubleshooting with the persistence the problem requires.
Lead compliance testing: Youll plan and prepare for compliance testing map out what our products need to pass prep hardware for EMC/EMI testing collaborate with outside test labs and keep at it until we pass.
Make hardware and software play nicely: Youll collaborate with embedded engineers to investigate system behavior and solve problems across the hardware/firmware seam.
Make the call. Youll evaluate compliance requirements recommend practical priorities and explain the tradeoffs between design changes testing cost and ship dates; know when to make a decision independently and when to bring in the right expertise.
Make the next build better. Youll partner with production teams on testability component choices and troubleshooting so every new board is easier to make test and fix.

A great design earns its place on the truck. Through compliance testing youll help build equipment crews can trust and products ready for market.

What You Bring:

A Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
Hands-on PCB design and board bring-up experience.
Compliance testing: Hands-on EMC/EMI experience including prepping products for testing working with outside labs and turning failed results into design fixes is a must-have.
Working knowledge of microcontrollers sensors and communication protocols like CAN.
Comfort reading schematics working with electronic components and using tools such as oscilloscopes and multimeters.
A methodical debugging habit: gather evidence isolate the cause fix it and verify the fix.
Ownership sound judgment and clear communication.

Big plus: Real EMC/EMI compliance experience. Youve been to the test lab failed a scan and figured out why.

Never been near a paint truck No problem. Bring your engineering curiosity. Well introduce you to the trucks.

Why Skip-Line

Real technology. Visible impact. Our lineup spans precision striping controls cloud-connected data logging and laser-based material monitoring. Your work helps crews do a difficult job better.
A tight team where your ideas ship. You wont be a cog. Youll decide what technology goes on paint trucks challenge assumptions and help shape better products with an innovative collaborative team.
Modern tools real judgment. Use AI and modern tooling freely. Just understand the circuit and own the result.
Benefits that support life beyond the bench. Comprehensive health dental and vision insurance; a 401(k) retirement with company match; paid vacation and sick time; and a paid week off at Christmas and more.
Established leadership. Continuous Innovation. Weve been advancing pavement-marking technology since 1969. Were not done inventing.
