Reporting & Collaboration
Reports to Engineering Manager(s) and Electrical Engineering Lead.
Works closely with Engineering Design, Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain, Project Management, Field/Service, customers, suppliers, and engineering peers.
Key Responsibilities
Strong communication skills, including the ability to support customer-facing technical discussions and collaborate across functions.
Evaluate customer tools from an electrical perspective including grounding approaches, signal-integrity methods, and related practices at both the detailed technical level and big-picture system-level design.
Participate in design reviews, risk assessments, project planning, and customer-facing technical reviews; communicate status, risks, tradeoffs, and recommendations clearly.
Design, build, troubleshoot, and support test equipment, fixtures, prototypes, lab and field testing, production validation, and customer demonstrations using appropriate diagnostic tools such as DMMs, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers.
Design and develop electrical systems, schematics, wiring diagrams, interface/control definitions, and component selections from concept through release and production support.
Create and maintain engineering documentation, including BOMs, cable/harness drawings, wire diagrams, test procedures, component libraries, and ECR/ECO packages.
Develop and execute verification/validation plans, DVP&R documentation, test fixtures, and custom test equipment; analyze results and document conclusions.
Support cable wiring and PCBA test, repair and rework and document as needed.
Ensure designs meet applicable safety, EMC/EMI, environmental, and regulatory requirements as needed.
Required Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or closely related field.
5–8+ years of professional electrical engineering experience, or equivalent qualifications demonstrating comparable technical depth, practical experience, and engineering capability.
Experience with electrical design tools such as OrCAD/Altium, AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN, KiCad, or similar.
Experience with signal integrity, grounding, shielding, noise mitigation, and system-level evaluation of design/test tools and practices.
Working knowledge of analog/digital fundamentals, power distribution, grounding, protection, sensors/actuators, and transmission-line characteristics
Experience creating schematics, wiring diagrams, cable/harness documentation, electrical documentation packages, and controlled engineering changes.
Hands-on troubleshooting experience with standard lab instrumentation and practical test setups.
Ability to design or support manufacture of electrical test fixtures, test systems, or production/lab test equipment.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with schematic capture, PCBA design, layout review, and component selection experience.
Experience with cable/harness design, connector selection, environmental sealing, EMC/EMI compliance, UL/IEC, NFPA 70/79, CE marking, or similar standards.
