Fresh Consulting•Sunnyvale, CA

3d•$75 - $90•Onsite

About The Position

Fresh Consulting is hiring an Electrical Engineer V for a six-month contract in Sunnyvale, California. The role is onsite five days per week and supports prototype development for mixed reality hardware. The engineer will partner with prototype teams on electrical and mechanical assembly, component placement and rework, and bring-up with engineering teams to accelerate early concept development. They will lead electrical hardware testing and troubleshooting, work with engineers to identify root causes and corrective or preventive actions, and perform board and flexible-circuit rework in an electrical lab. The role collaborates across engineering and product groups and requires independently managing multiple workstreams and priorities.

Requirements

At least 8 years of experience with prototypes or bench electrical assembly, bring-up, electromechanical integration, and electrical and mechanical debugging.
Full-cycle board ownership experience.
Broad experience across electrical engineering domains.
Ability to read and understand schematics and locate components on PCBs using design schematics and layout viewers.
Experience setting up, supporting, and maintaining hardware in a lab environment.
Ability to produce complete assembly and test documentation for prototype assembly and test setups and share results.
Strong creativity, verbal and written communication, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
Critical thinking, innovative ideas, attention to detail, and ability to work as a team player.

Nice To Haves

Systems-level engineering development and test experience with complex integrated electromechanical assemblies.
Experience with system-level electrical design, including circuit design, system bring-up, integration, and debugging.
Experience specifying components, building schematics, completing board layouts, and assembling, testing, debugging, and integrating designs into opto-electro-mechanical systems.
Soldering experience with fine-pitch devices, 0201 or 0402 components, BGA/CSP, and power component rework.
Parts programming experience (FPGA, Flash, etc.) and ability to take scope measurements.
FPGA capability.
Wearables or small-form-factor consumer hardware background.
Firmware or scripting skills to self-serve during bring-up.

Responsibilities

Partner with prototype teams on electrical and mechanical assembly, component-level placement and rework, and hardware bring-up for mixed reality concepts.
Serve as the primary point of contact for electrical hardware testing and troubleshooting; work with engineers to root-cause failures and define preventive and corrective actions.
Debug hardware using lab equipment, including oscilloscopes, multimeters, and logic analyzers.
Perform PCBA and FPC rework in an electrical lab environment.
Collaborate with systems engineering, architecture, product design, NPI, and research teams.
Manage multiple workstreams independently and prioritize workload to meet timeline constraints.
Generate complete assembly and test documentation for prototype assembly and test setups, and share results.
