23h•Onsite

About The Position

TTI is hiring a Sr. Electrical Engineer 1 for its Anderson, South Carolina office. The engineer will contribute to the full design of electronics for power tools, lithium-ion battery packs, and battery chargers, with ownership spanning design inputs, circuit schematics and PCB layouts, component selection and bills of materials, parts ordering, prototype assembly and testing, firmware development and testing, bench testing, and design and test specifications. The role also supports design verification before production and communicates with and supports mass production. The engineer works closely with colleagues in other departments to establish product functionality expectations and ensure products meet customer specifications. The position calls for someone willing to learn, capable in both hardware and firmware, and comfortable with hands-on work as well as theoretical analysis. Strong time management and a production-focused mindset are important. Experience with power tools and home-improvement or hobby work is a plus. Travel to Asia may be required as necessary, estimated at 0–5%.
