Location: Halifax, CanadaAbout RanchflowRanchflow builds AI-powered livestock monitoring and virtual fencing for ranchers. Solar-powered GPS smart collars track location, monitor animal health, and use audio cues to keep cattle within virtual boundaries drawn in the Ranchflow app. There are no posts, wires, or fence maintenance.

Alongside the collars, the Ranchflow Ranch Management Platform gives producers one place for records, grazing plans, and day-to-day operations. Founded by ranchers and technologists, Ranchflow turns years of field observation into AI insights that help producers catch illness early, run rotational grazing easily, and raise healthier herds. Ranchflow is headquartered in San Antonio, Texas with offices in Canada.

The RoleWe’re looking for a PCB & Embedded Systems Engineer to develop and improve the electronics that power our collars and supporting equipment. You’ll work across hardware design, embedded development, testing, and production, with a focus on reliability, energy efficiency, and performance in demanding farm environments. Design and improve schematics and PCB layouts for virtual fencing collars and supporting equipment.

Integrate microcontrollers, GNSS modules, sensors, wireless radios, and audio and electrical stimulus circuitry. Design battery and solar power systems, including charging, protection, voltage regulation, and power monitoring. Develop and debug embedded firmware for positioning, virtual boundary detection, sensors, communications, and collar operation.

Implement and validate controlled stimulus output, safety limits, watchdogs, and defined device behaviour during low‑battery, positioning, connectivity, or other faults.



Bring up prototype boards and troubleshoot hardware and firmware issues using electronic test equipment. Work with mechanical teams to address enclosure integration, moisture, temperature, vibration, and field reliability.

Select components and maintain bills of materials, design documentation, firmware repositories, and manufacturing files. Work with external manufacturers to review designs, resolve fabrication and assembly issues, and support production. Develop test procedures and fixtures to verify board functionality and quality before deployment.

A degree in electrical, electronics, or computer engineering, or equivalent relevant experience. A solid understanding of analog and digital circuits, microcontrollers, and power electronics. Embedded programming experience in C or C++.

An organized approach to documentation, version control, testing, and debugging. The ability to take ownership of technical problems and work closely with hardware, software, mechanical, and manufacturing partners.

Experience testing electronics for temperature extremes, moisture, vibration, and mechanical shock.

Experience taking electronics from prototypes into manufacturing and production testing.
