Junior Electrical Design Engineer

Standex•Rockledge, FL

About The Position

Standex Electronics is seeking a Junior Electrical Design Engineer to create design specifications for electromechanical components. The work primarily involves designs requiring magnetic field mapping and analysis, electromagnetic system modeling, and applying magnetic principles to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. The engineer works with internal and external customers to establish design specifications and maintain customer engineering relationships, and completes proposals, prototypes, test plans, and reports to deliver products that meet specifications. The role supports product design from concept through production, as well as ongoing design support after launch. A junior engineer may work under the supervision of an engineer or senior engineer, starting with simpler responsibilities and advancing to more complex work.

Requirements

At least 1 year of engineering experience, including co-op rotations.
A Bachelor of Science degree in an ABET-accredited Electrical Engineering program is preferred; direct experience and qualifications may be considered in lieu of a Bachelor of Science degree in an engineering program.
Ability to perform tasks under the supervision of an engineer or senior engineer as appropriate, with responsibilities progressing from simpler to more complex work.
Knowledge of coil, transformer, and inductor design.
Knowledge of manufacturing processes and design for manufacturability.
Understanding of 2D/3D modeling software, finite element analysis, and simulation software.
Ability to read, create, and critique detailed technical wiring diagrams, schematics, and bills of materials.
Understanding of statistical methods and tools.
Ability to balance and prioritize multiple work efforts to meet deadlines.
Ability to promote and develop subordinate self-management skills, including accountability, self-motivation, and time management.
Strong organizational skills and a process-oriented mindset.
Strong analytical work methodology and problem-solving skills.
Solid verbal and written communication and interpersonal skills.
Commitment to excellence and continuous improvement.
