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 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 prepares 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 progressing to more complex work.
