About The Position

An Electrical Engineer II independently troubleshoots complex printed circuit board assemblies and electrical subsystems used in EPC Power conversion systems. The role diagnoses failures to the circuit or component level, leads structured root cause investigations, and develops corrective actions for production, development, and field-return issues. It requires hands-on debugging capability, sound circuit analysis, and the ability to solve difficult PCB problems with limited supervision.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field.
3–7 years of relevant experience troubleshooting complex PCB assemblies, electronic systems, power electronics hardware, or industrial controls.
Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot PCB assemblies to the component or circuit-function level.
Strong understanding of analog, digital, mixed-signal, communication, power supply, sensing, control, and protection circuitry.
Proficiency with advanced oscilloscope measurements and laboratory instrumentation.
Ability to interpret PCB layout details, signal paths, grounding, isolation, creepage and clearance considerations, and component-placement impacts.
Experience leading root cause investigations and documenting technical findings.
Ability to understand and comply with EPC Power safety policies, ESD controls, laboratory procedures, and quality requirements.
Ability to manage multiple investigations while maintaining accurate documentation and follow-through.
Ability to stand, sit, reach with hands and arms, stoop, kneel, crouch, and lift or move up to 50 pounds.
Visual and hearing acuity required.

Nice To Haves

Experience with inverters, converters, gate drivers, high-voltage circuits, embedded controls, or industrial power electronics.
Experience with CANBus, Modbus, Ethernet-based communication, waveform capture, data logging, and automated test methods.
Experience with Python, MATLAB/Simulink, LabVIEW, C, or other engineering analysis and automation tools.
Hands-on lab skills including soldering, rework, prototyping, cable harness fabrication, and custom test-fixture development.
Experience supporting manufacturing, supplier quality, and returned material investigations.

Responsibilities

Independently troubleshoot complex PCB assemblies, including intermittent or difficult-to-reproduce failures.
Diagnose board-level failures to the circuit, component, layout, process, application, or system-interface level using a structured approach.
Analyze analog, digital, mixed-signal, communication, sensing, protection, power supply, gate-drive, isolation, and control circuits.
Use diagnostic equipment such as oscilloscopes, differential probes, current probes, logic analyzers, power analyzers, thermal cameras, curve tracers, and soldering and rework tools.
Interpret schematics, PCB layouts, BOMs, datasheets, signal paths, test procedures, firmware interfaces, and production data to identify failure mechanisms.
Lead root cause investigations for recurring production failures, engineering test failures, returned PCB assemblies, and test escapes.
Develop troubleshooting plans, test setups, fault-isolation methods, and validation activities to confirm root cause and verify corrective action effectiveness.
Identify design, component, supplier, manufacturing, workmanship, handling, firmware-interface, or test-process contributors to PCB failures.
Prepare technical reports summarizing symptoms, evidence, analysis, root cause, corrective action, and verification results.
Work with Manufacturing, Quality, Supplier Quality, Service, Test, Firmware, and Design Engineering to resolve technical issues.
Mentor technicians and junior engineers in board-level diagnostic techniques, documentation, and safe troubleshooting practices.
Participate in design reviews focused on test coverage, reliability, manufacturability, and serviceability.
Perform other duties and responsibilities within the scope of the position as needed or assigned.
