Hands-on experience in analog and digital electronic circuit design, signal and controls theory, development, associated electrical board design, troubleshooting, and validation.
Understanding of AC/DC power-distribution systems.
In-depth system-level understanding of electrical architecture, system integration, and applications.
Excellent working knowledge of printed circuit board (PCB) and low-voltage circuit design for power and control applications.
Expertise in applying power and controls technologies for systems automation.
Knowledge of CAD tools for circuit design and simulation, such as ORCAD, ZUKEN, or Spice.

Nice To Haves

Ability to define functional requirements and execute in a dynamic team environment.
Familiarity with design for serviceability (DFS), manufacturability (DFM), and reliability.
High proficiency in troubleshooting systems using tools such as network sniffers, protocol analyzers, and tool logs.
Experience troubleshooting with problem-solving techniques such as 5-Why, 8D, fishbone analysis, and general root-cause analysis and corrective action (RCCA).
Excellent oral and written communication skills, including technical presentations.
Experience in the semiconductor industry or a related industry such as industrial, automotive, or military.
Experience using and applying FMEA for reliable, risk-mitigated designs.
Knowledge of SEMI standards, specifically SEMI S2/S22.
Knowledge of IPC-610 and IPC-620 quality standards for boards and cabling/interconnects.
Excellent instrumentation skills, including oscilloscopes, spectrum analysis, and dataloggers.
EtherCAT device integration and TwinCAT knowledge.
Knowledge of electrical safety testing and high-voltage/breakdown basics, such as hipot and ground-bond testing.
Basic RF knowledge.
Knowledge of solenoid/air-operated valve control (interlocking tables) related to gas delivery, mass flow controllers, and open- and closed-loop DC heater controls.
Self-starter with drive to make a difference.

Responsibilities

Design and develop highly complex electrical systems, subsystems, and solutions using engineering methods.
Contribute to research and development for future products by collecting and analyzing data to improve electrical system designs.
Develop functional specifications for complex electrical and electromechanical systems and power-distribution components.
Collaborate with cross-functional engineering design teams to design and modify custom and OEM system components.
Conduct hands-on testing and validation using laboratory equipment to characterize electrical and electromechanical system performance.
Prepare reports and technical presentations communicating design intent, analysis, and results to diverse audiences during design reviews.
Act as a resource and mentor for more junior colleagues.
