Engineer.Electrical.II

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.
