The role requires strong electrical engineering expertise, hands-on troubleshooting skills, and experience working with complex electro-mechanical, optical, and X-ray systems. The successful candidate will contribute across the full product lifecycle, including design, integration, testing, certification, laboratory support, maintenance, and development activities.

Requirements

BS in Electrical Engineering preferred with 3+ years of relevant experience, or equivalent combination of education and technical experience.
Experience with complex electro-mechanical systems, capital equipment, or scientific instrumentation.
Experience working in development, test, manufacturing, or engineering laboratory environments.
Strong understanding of electrical engineering principles and power distribution systems.
Proficiency using electrical test and laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, DVMs, soldering stations, and related diagnostic tools.
Ability to create and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, BOMs, and technical documentation.
Experience with connectors, relays, PLCs, sensors, motion systems, and other system integration components.
Strong troubleshooting skills for electrical, mechanical, and electro-mechanical systems.
Experience with test development, data collection, root-cause analysis, and system qualification.

Nice To Haves

Experience supporting regulatory certification activities (UL, CE, SEMI, etc.) preferred.
X-ray, optics, semiconductor equipment, or advanced instrumentation experience preferred.
Experience with 3D CAD and electrical design tools; Eplan or SolidWorks Electrical experience preferred.
