  • 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.
  • 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 or similar field
  • 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, SIL2).
  • Experience across all phases of the program development lifecycle, from requirements capture through design, implementation, and test.
  • Experience using Altium for schematic capture and PCB/PCBA design preferred.
  • 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.
