Electrical Engineer

IDEX Corporation•Harris, MN

25d•$78,200 - $117,200

About The Position

The Electrical Engineer supports the transformation and development of hardware products, designing and testing electronic circuitry and components to deliver innovative, reliable solutions. The role includes designing complex multilayer PCB assemblies, interfacing environmental sensors, researching components, and supporting obsolescence and supply-chain challenges. It also contributes to mechanical product designs and upgrades, prototype and proof-of-concept testing, and the design and fabrication of test apparatus. The engineer follows ISO-controlled product development processes, documents work through a PLM system, participates in design reviews and cross-functional stage-gate approvals, and develops verification and validation procedures. The role supports product certification for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, including learning and applying intrinsic safety requirements. The engineer works with a small cross-functional team to develop products that meet requirements and stays informed about relevant technologies.
