▪ Development of ruggedized, mission-critical, or highly reliable electronic systems.
SUMMARY & RESPONSIBILITIES
The Senior Electrical Design Engineer will lead the design, development, integration, and validation of complex electronic hardware systems supporting advanced sensing, communications, and autonomous technology platforms. This individual will play a key role throughout the product lifecycle, from system architecture and schematic design through prototype development, testing, manufacturing, and production release. The ideal candidate combines deep electrical hardware design expertise with strong troubleshooting and analytical skills and can confidently identify, diagnose, and resolve issues at the schematic, PCB, and system levels.
Responsibilities:
▪ Lead the design and development of complex electrical hardware systems from initial architecture through production deployment.
▪ Create, review, and optimize schematics for high-speed digital, mixed-signal, FPGA-based, power, and
wireless communication designs.
▪ Support PCB layout activities and ensure designs meet signal integrity, power integrity, manufacturability, reliability, and performance requirements.
▪ Perform board bring-up, integration, debugging, and root-cause analysis of hardware design issues.
▪ Conduct electrical analysis, simulation, and validation activities related to signal integrity, power integrity, thermal performance, and EMI/EMC compliance.
▪ Develop and execute hardware verification, characterization, and validation test plans.
▪ Build, test, and iterate prototype hardware to drive designs toward production readiness.
▪ Collaborate with firmware, software, mechanical, manufacturing, quality, and product teams.
▪ Evaluate and integrate commercial off-the-shelf and custom-designed hardware components.
▪ Create and maintain engineering documentation including specifications, schematics, test procedures,
validation reports, BOMs, and design records.
Compensation:
$85.00/hr - $95.00/hr
Exact compensation may vary based on several factors, including skills, experience, and education.
Employees in this role will enjoy a comprehensive benefits package starting on day one of employment, including options for medical, dental, and vision insurance. Eligibility to enroll in the 401(k) retirement plan begins after 90 days of employment. Additionally, employees in this role will have access to paid sick leave and other paid time off benefits as required under the applicable law of the worksite location.
