About The Position

The Senior Electrical Engineer defines product requirements, translates requirements to implementable architectures, performs detailed design work, and ensures the end product is optimized for manufacturability. This role has no direct supervisory responsibilities but serves as a coach and mentor for other positions in the department. The Senior Electrical Engineer will lead electrical design projects, conduct design analysis on components and/or assemblies, and perform detailed electronic design of microcontroller and microprocessor based platforms and related analog/digital circuits. They will also maintain an organized history of design artifacts, communicate with other engineers and project managers, and prepare proposal documentation. Additionally, they will contribute to electrical design best practices and assist in developing ECOs.
