Design Engineer II, Hardware/Power Electronics

Regal Rexnord•Fort Wayne, IN

3d•Hybrid

About The Position

This role is responsible for electronic hardware design, hardware documentation, validation and testing, production, and quality support within the Motor Solutions business segment. The engineer will execute speedy development and production launch of new products from Research & Development or product specifications. They will ensure robust development through key project documentation and participate in or lead design reviews. The position involves designing hardware electronics for power electronics converters (115Vac, 230Vac & 460Vac, 1A to 20A) for electric machines, simulating mixed analog and digital electronic circuits, and selecting/assessing electronic components for suitability and reliability. The role also includes maintaining product documentation, interacting with various engineering teams to meet customer/system requirements, prototyping electronic circuits, documenting measurements, reviewing and approving electrical documentation, and performing failure analysis of electronics circuits with reporting and recommendations for continuous improvement. The engineer will also interface with the circuit board contract manufacturer.

Requirements
