    • Support product testing and validation in a lab and industrial environment, including programming equipment, testing, and teardown of large equipment.
    • Participate in scrum team meetings and provide status updates on current tasks, progress, and issues.
  • Safety and Compliance:
    • Ensure adherence to safety procedures when working with heavy machinery, X-ray producing machines, and hazardous materials.
    • Work in industrial environments with various safety considerations, including temperature, humidity, noise, and confined spaces.


Qualifications:
  • Required:
    • Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
    • At least 4 years of professional experience in electrical engineering, with a focus on industrial control systems and machine control.
    • Strong experience with PLC systems, embedded software development, and industrial control system design (machine safety, circuit protection, electrical interfaces, and power distribution).
    • Proficient in using electrical test equipment, such as oscilloscopes, DMMs, function generators, and bench supplies.
    • Familiar with product development processes, including writing design specifications, design reviews, and engineering change requests (ECRs).
    • Able to work in an industrial lab environment, safely handling equipment and systems, including high voltage and hydraulic power systems.
  • Preferred:
    • Proficient in PLC programming using IEC61131 languages.
    • Experience with schematic capture and PCB layout tools (e.g., Orcad, PADS, Altium).
    • Knowledge of radiation detection technologies and X-ray producing machinery.
    • Familiarity with system architecture design for complex systems.
    • Ability to obtain a SECRET clearance.


Work Environment:
  • Location: Vista, CA 92081. The role is 100% on-site with no option for telework.
  • Team Environment: The engineering team is small (typically 2-3 Electrical Engineers per project), fostering close collaboration.
  • Work Conditions: The position involves working in an industrial lab, programming and testing machinery, and may require working in outdoor environments for equipment testing.
