10d

About The Position

The Sr. Electrical Engineer is responsible for developing moderate to complex electrical system designs for new products as well as design improvements for legacy products. Responsibilities also include exercising sound engineering judgement, presenting analysis summaries which support design decisions, and coaching SSEO Electrical Engineers I and II. This experienced position leads the development of complex electrical subsystems and plays a key role in system integration, and technical execution. The Sr. Electrical Engineer will own the full hardware development cycle, from concept through design, validation, and integration. Deep expertise in signal integrity, electrical noise mitigation, and real-time interface design is essential to the expectations of this role. In addition, they should have a solid foundation in electronic design for sporting optics. The Sr. Electrical Engineer works both independently and in a team environment with Electrical Engineers, Software Engineers, Design Engineers, NPI Managers, and Test Technicians. They frequently initiate collaboration with all departments within SSEO Electrical Engineering.

Requirements

Bachelor of Science in Electrical or Computer Engineering, and 7-10 years of previous experience as an Electrical Engineer required.
