Responsibilities

• Lead the design and development of electrical parts, modules, and subsystems for integrated measurement systems.
• Manage the full design lifecycle—from requirement specification and feasibility studies to component selection, cost analysis and scheduling.
• This includes performing detailed analysis including circuit, timing, thermal/cooling, and electrical load balancing calculations for 120–480VAC single-phase, 3-phase, and low-voltage DC power distribution systems that are in compliance with applicable standards (NEC, NFPA 79, IPC, SEMI, IEC).
• Program PLCs (e.g., Siemens, Allen Bradley) and integrate control and safety-interlock systems.
• Create conceptual and detailed designs using tools like AutoCAD and CREO, including drawings, BOMs, test procedures, and fixtures.
• Lead design reviews and collaborate across subject areas (mechanical, software, systems, manufacturing).
• Procure prototype parts, conduct testing, and support system integration and manufacturing handoff.
• We need someone with strong problem-solving and diagnostic skills for this.
• Work closely with suppliers to ensure design requirements are met and resolve issues throughout the product lifecycle.
