Join a 37-year-old design firm where your work integrates directly with client teams. Our 8.8-year average tenure shows professionals build careers here, not just take jobs.
At PDE, you won't be stuck on one project for years. You won't be isolated in a single domain. And you won't be waiting for someone to tell you what to do.
PDE's culture of ownership was shaped by two management buyouts (1996 and 2002). You'll have genuine decision-making authority over your projects, genuine responsibility for outcomes, and genuine trust from leadership. Designers here decide how the work gets done.
Mechanical designers work alongside firmware developers. Hardware designers collaborate with manufacturing specialists. RF specialists partner with cloud architects. You'll learn from colleagues with deep expertise across every domain because you work directly with them.
One month you're solving RF integration challenges. Next month, firmware optimization. The month after, manufacturing scale-up with a client team. Constant exposure to new technologies, new problems, and new perspectives.
While we love a good tried and true method, we're not afraid to try something new. We don't believe in doing something just because "that's how it's always been done". At PDE you'll get the chance to help drive the adoption of new tech and apply it on real projects.
We believe in giving our employees the ability to find out how they work best. We operate on a flexible schedule where when and where you need to be online is driven by practicality, not by policy.
We don't have specific openings right now, but we're always interested in connecting with exceptional designers.
If you think you'd be a great fit for PDE, tell us about your background, what kind of work interests you, and why PDE caught your attention.
We respect your time. Most candidates complete the process within 2-3 weeks.
A real team member reads your resume. No automated keyword screening.
A call to learn about your background and answer your questions. A conversation, not an interrogation.
Deeper conversation with team members in your domain. We want to understand how you think about problems, not gotcha questions.
Visit our office, meet potential colleagues, see the lab. Get a real sense of what working here is like.
If we're a mutual fit, we move quickly to bring you on board.
We're looking for designers who want meaningful work, real ownership, and the chance to grow with every project. If you want to integrate with client teams, own outcomes, and work on products that matter, let's talk.
