Job Description
Lake Lite, Inc. • Avilla, Indiana (on-site — not a remote position) • Full-time $75,000 - $95,000 / year, based on experience Build the whole product, not one slice of it. Lake Lite is a 25-person R D-driven company in Avilla, Indiana, and our product line covers the waterfront: controls for every style of boat lift (cable, hydraulic, air-displacement, coastal, and powered lift screens), solar charging kits for boat lifts, advanced solar lighting for docks and homes, and a growing lineup of marine and waterfront equipment. Our products mix motor control, wireless remotes, sensors, solar power, app connectivity, and rugged mechanical design — and we develop all of it in-house. No boring one-product job here. You'll work on multiple products at once in a rapid-development environment — writing the firmware, wiring up the bench, debugging with a scope, and carrying products from working prototype through validation to production. This is a hands-on role working directly with the owner and a small engineering team. If you've spent your career (or your garage years) building electromechanical things that work in the real world, you'll feel at home here. What you'll own Firmware design and development for boat lift controls and marine products (motor control, remotes, sensing, connectivity) Hardware bring-up, bench testing, and debugging of new control products Product validation: test plans, environmental/field testing, and the fixes that follow Supporting our mobile app features and the firmware interfaces behind them Taking concepts to production alongside our mechanical design and production teams What you must bring 4+ years of embedded/electromechanical product development building things people actually use — professional or seriously self-taught; we care what you've built, not where you learned it Solid embedded firmware skills (C/C++ on microcontrollers) and comfort debugging real hardware Hands-on instinct: you reach for the multimeter, scope, and soldering iron without being asked Self-direction and follow-through from prototype to production, not just proof-of-concept Nice to have (tell us if you've got it) Motor control, power electronics, or RF/BLE/Wi-Fi connectivity experience Mobile app development or app/firmware integration PCB design, PLC/automation experience, or SolidWorks familiarity Marine, outdoor, or harsh-environment product experience Benefits 3 weeks paid vacation + 1 week paid wellness days + 13 paid holidays Health insurance with company-funded HSA contribution (spouse & dependent coverage available) Profit sharing plan and annual reviews How to apply Send your resume plus something you've built — a product in the field, a side project, a GitHub repo, a video of the thing working. Applications that show real hardware/firmware work go to the top of the pile.
