What you'll do
- Design and develop highly complex electrical systems, including power distribution boxes and sub-systems.
- Contribute to research and development by collecting and analyzing data to improve electrical system designs.
- Develop functional specifications for electrical/electro-mechanical systems and power distribution components.
- Collaborate with cross-functional engineering design teams to design and modify custom and OEM system components.
- Perform hands-on test and validation utilizing lab equipment to characterize electrical/electro-mechanical system performance.
- Prepare high-quality reports and technical presentations to communicate design intent, analysis, and results.
What you'll need
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field with 5+ years of experience; or Master’s degree with 3+ years.
- Hands-on experience in electronic circuit design (analog, digital), signal and controls theory, development, and associated electrical board design, troubleshooting, and validation.
- Solid understanding of AC/DC Power distribution systems.
- System level understanding of Electrical architecture, system integration, and applications.
- Excellent working knowledge in Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and low voltage circuit design for power and control applications.
- Expertise in application of power and controls technologies for systems automation.
- Knowledgeable in CAD tools for circuit design and simulation (e.g., PCAD, ORCAD, ZUKEN, AutoCAD, Spice, ADS, HFSS).
- Knowledge of NFPA 70, NFPA 79, and UL 508A.
Nice to have
- Familiarity with design for serviceability, manufacturability, reliability.
- Proficiency at troubleshooting systems with tools like network sniffers, protocol analyzers, and tool logs.
- Experience in troubleshooting with problem-solving techniques such as 5-why, 8D, fishbones.
- Experience in semiconductor industry or related (industrial, automotive, military).
- Fluency in NFPA 70, NFPA79, UL508A, and knowledge of Semi Standards (S2, S22).
