About this role

The Electrical Engineer leads and manages hardware aspects of products throughout their entire lifecycle from architecture, planning, design through verification and validation. Provides electrical-design technical leadership for cross-functional new product development and sustaining engineering projects. Hardware design development is for products based on different sensing technologies (e.g. Optical, Electrochemical) and communication technologies (wired and wireless). 

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and write engineering requirements and rationales that align with customer requirements, system, and regulatory standards. 
• Provide electronic assembly project schedules for individual tasks performed by EE resources in support of overall project development schedule.
• Develop mixed signal circuits that meet requirements verified through analysis, simulation, and/or breadboards. 
• Use of ECAD tools for schematic capture. 
• Direct the efforts of PCB/PCBA designers through parts placement, routing, and board layout of designs.
• Work closely with firmware engineers to develop strategies for Hardware/Firmware integration. 
• Participate in product roadmap and resource planning.
• Implement new or updated mixed signal electronic designs that meet or exceed all customer, system, and regulatory requirements.
• Build and test designs from bench-level to formal verification and validation level using in-house test setups or at 3rd party test facilities.
• Follow development processes, lead technical reviews, and properly document and control work deliverables.
• Assess the impact of making changes to electrical components related to obsolescence issues affecting impacted subcircuits, PCBs, and PCBAs.
• Author and lead through to implementation engineering change requests, manufacturing and engineering change orders.
• Participate in the development of test cases against individual requirements.
• Support product quality investigations and perform root cause analyses.
• Identify project risks and provide practical proposals to close gaps and mitigate risks. 
• Support multiple product development programs at a given time.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering.
• 5+ years of professional work experience.
• 3+ years developing mixed signal PCB/PCBA designs.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Analog circuit design experience.
• Experience in developing electronics to meet high levels of EMC performance.
• Participation in the development of at least one product development effort from inception through market launch. 
• Product development experience in a regulated market segment (medical, automotive, aviation, Industrial Life Safety, Safety Instrumented Systems).
• Experience across all phases of the program development lifecycle, from requirements capture through design, implementation, and test.
• Experienced with FMEAs and developing control techniques to mitigate risks.
• Excellent communication and organizational skills.
• Self-motivated and demonstrated ability to effectively deliver PCB/PCBA designs.
