About The Position

We are seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to join our growing engineering team. This role is responsible for the design, development, validation, and production support of electrical systems used in advanced safety control products. The position requires expertise in signal analysis, power conversion, mixed-signal hardware design, and PCB development, along with strong cross-functional collaboration to deliver certified, high-reliability products from concept through high-volume manufacturing.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or a related STEM field with 8+ years of relevant experience, or Master’s degree with 5+ years of relevant experience
Full PCBA lifecycle, including requirements definition, schematic capture, layout review, verification, test, and production support
Designing and Troubleshooting power conversion circuits and topologies
EMI/RFI mitigation and thermal management techniques
Power, timing, and signal integrity analysis
Component selection, derating, and reliability analysis
Bench-level integration, testing, troubleshooting, and test results interpretation
Simulation and analysis tools such as PSpice/LTSpice, MATLAB, or equivalent
Schematic capture and PCB layout tools (Altium experience is a plus)
Solid understanding of digital control using embedded controllers, firmware interaction, and communication protocols
Familiarity with high-volume manufacturing processes, production variability, packaging, and supply-chain considerations
Demonstrated ability to take products from concept through qualification and high-volume production
Strong analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills
Effective communicator and collaborator across cross-functional teams

Responsibilities

Design and develop electrical interfaces and hardware for electrical systems, including power, control, supervisory, regulatory, digital, analog circuits and industry-standard interfaces (e.g., Ethernet, I2C, SPI, UART).
Research emerging technologies and propose circuit architectures and topologies; perform loss analysis, FMEA, evaluate performance, efficiency, thermal behavior, and cost targets to support future product platforms.
Perform modeling, simulation, and verification using analytical and circuit simulation tools
Perform board bring-up including signal integrity and waveform analysis and incorporate EMI/RFI mitigation and thermal management techniques.
Perform schematic capture and initial component placement and layout and collaborate with PCB designers to complete detailed layout; review PCB layouts for component placement, routing, DFM/DFT, and associated documentation prior to procurement and production release.
Develop and execute test methods and validation plans; analyze results and verify compliance with requirements and applicable regulatory and qualification standards
Test and troubleshoot designs using industry-standard laboratory equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power analyzers, etc.)
Support production by addressing component obsolescence, identifying alternate components, and managing design changes
Collaborate with firmware, software, manufacturing, quality, compliance, supply chain, marketing, and sales teams throughout the product lifecycle
Prepare and maintain engineering documentation including requirements, test plans, validation reports, ECOs, and customer-facing technical materials
Participate in cross-functional design reviews and provide technical input to senior leadership
