Electrical Design Engineer

About the Role

Seeking an Electrical Design Engineer to join a collaborative product development team focused on creating innovative electronic solutions. This position offers the opportunity to work on new product development from concept through production, combining circuit design, prototyping, testing, and manufacturing support in a hands-on engineering environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Electronics Design
• Collaborate with the Engineering team to provide design input.
• Design and simulate analog and digital circuits used in new product development.
• Design production test fixtures used for pre-ship testing of manufactured products.
• Layout printed circuit boards using CAD/CAM software such as Altium.
• Generate detailed wiring diagrams to document system interfaces.
• Assemble electro-mechanical prototypes.
• Assemble detailed SMT and through-hole printed circuit boards for beta testing.
• Use hand tools to mechanically assemble beta test units.
• Construct wire harnesses using various crimp, insertion, and extraction tools.
• Electronics Testing
• Use oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, digital analyzers, DMMs, and similar equipment to take measurements and record data.
• Author and present engineering reports to engineering team members and managers.
• Write software in Python as needed to support testing activities.
• Debug analog and digital circuits to identify issues and implement repairs.
• Translate specifications developed by Marketing into engineering requirements.
• Assist with coordinating new products as they move into production, including generating bills of materials, writing assembly instructions, and resolving questions from the production team.
• Research parts for new and existing products, including evaluating component availability and identifying manufacturers capable of supporting new product requirements.
• Assist in testing and evaluation of company and competitive products.
• Oversee Engineering Lab organization, equipment maintenance and calibration, parts cabinet organization, and project workspace management.
• Maintain inventory levels and ensure parts and supplies remain stocked.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Electrical design engineering experience.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Familiarity with circuit simulation tools (e.g., LTspice).
• Ability to use AI tools effectively, such as ChatGPT and Anthropic Claude.
• Comfortable soldering and reworking through-hole and surface-mount components.
• Dexterity and comfort using hand tools and small machine tools.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in electrical/electronics engineering, OR five or more years of design experience.
