Engineer.Electrical.II

Employer description

Key Responsibilities • Design and develop electrical systems for products/equipment, from concept through release and production support. • Translate requirements into electrical architectures, schematics, wiring diagrams, and interface/control definitions. • Select and specify electrical components (power supplies, sensors, actuators, connectors, harnessing, PCBA components, etc.). • Capable to repair PCBA’s including soldering through hole, SMT, fine pitch components and wire • Create and maintain engineering documentation: schematics, BOMs, cable/harness drawings, wire diagram, test procedures, component libraries, and change orders (ECR/ECO). • Build prototypes and support lab/field testing; troubleshoot issues using appropriate diagnostic tools (DMM, oscilloscope, logic analyzer, etc.). • Create verification and validation (V & V) documentation (DVP&R) and perform virtual and/or physical product V & V testing. • Support verification and validation by developing test plans & test fixtures, executing tests, analyzing results, and documenting conclusions. • Collaborate with manufacturing on design-for-manufacture/assembly, wiring practices, work instructions, and transition to production. • Investigate and resolve production and field issues; perform root-cause analysis and drive corrective actions (CAPA). • Ensure designs meet applicable safety, EMC/EMI, environmental, and regulatory requirements as needed. • Participate in design reviews, risk assessments (DFMEA), and project planning; communicate progress and risks. Required Qualifications • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (or closely related field). • Typically 4–7+ years of relevant electrical engineering experience (or equivalent combination of education and experience). • Proficiency with electrical design tools (e.g., OrCAD/Altium, AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN, KiCad, or similar). • Experience creating schematics, wiring diagrams, and electrical documentation packages. • Working knowledge of fundamental electrical engineering principles (analog/digital basics, power distribution, grounding, protection, sensors/actuators and transmission line characteristics). • Hands-on troubleshooting ability with standard lab instrumentation. • Strong communication skills and ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams. Preferred Qualifications • Experience with embedded processing in C. • Schematic and PCBA design and layout. • Familiarity with relevant standards and compliance (e.g., UL/IEC, NFPA 70/79, CE marking, EMC). • Experience with cable/harness design, connector selection, and environmental sealing practices. • Experience with functional safety concepts and risk methods (FMEA, fault tree). • Exposure to PLM/ERP systems (Windchill) and structured change control (ECR/ECO). Core Competencies • Practical problem solving and attention to detail • Ownership of deliverables and follow-through • Clear technical capabilities • Clear technical documentation • Collaboration and stakeholder management • Comfort balancing performance, cost, manufacturability, and schedule Work Environment / Physical Requirements (optional) • Combination of office, lab, and manufacturing floor work. • Occasional travel to suppliers/customer sites as needed. • Ability to safely work around electrical equipment and comply with all safety procedures. • Lift 40 lbs. Reporting & Collaboration • Reports to: Engineering Manager(s) & Electrical Engineering Lead. • Works closely with: Engineering Design, Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain, Project Management, Field/Service, and Engineering peers.
