About Us

We are only accepting applications through verified recruitment websites listing our job postings (i.e. LinkedIn, Workable, Indeed, etc). Dymax will only contact potential candidates from email addresses in @dymax.com.

Dymax, part of the Bachmann Chemical & Engineering family of brands is based out of Torrington, Connecticut. Dymax is a globally recognized as pioneer in the development of light-curable adhesives and curing equipment. Today, our expansive portfolio of innovative adhesives, coatings and maskants are supported by dispense solutions and cutting-edge UV and LED light-curing equipment. Unlike our competitors who supplying standard products, Dymax focuses on the customer experience by tailoring solutions that help customers lower costs, reduce their carbon footprint, improve efficiency, and drive profitability. Our focus on being a customer intimate organization has led us to where we are today: a rapidly expanding force within our industry, an innovative product portfolio, extraordinary employees, and a bright future based on creating quality offerings with a dedication to business growth.

About You

We’re seeking a resulted-focused, innovative, self-driven, and well-qualified individual to join our talented team as an Electrical Design Engineer. In this role, you will design and develop embedded electrical systems and firmware for UV curing equipment by executing electrical and firmware design tasks, advancing project deliverables, and ensuring quality, manufacturability, and compliance throughout the product lifecycle

You will:

• Deliver robust electrical and firmware solutions by independently managing assigned design tasks, contributing to larger development projects, and producing functional systems that meet performance, timing, and cost targets
• Advance circuit and embedded system design by selecting and simulating components, designing analog/digital circuits, and developing embedded code for microcontroller-based platforms used in UV curing equipment.
• Ensure design validation and compliance by planning and executing engineering analysis and lab testing for thermal performance, noise filtering, and regulatory compliance, including CE, EMI/EMC, and UL/CSA standards
• Produce and maintain engineering documentation by generating schematics, test plans, technical specifications, and design verification reports that satisfy internal quality standards and Design History File (DHF) requirements.
• Collaborate across the product development lifecycle by engaging with cross-functional peers to refine system requirements, resolve technical challenges, and contribute to continuous improvement of design processes and outcomes.
• Resolve technical issues in production and field by analyzing field failures, coordinating with QA and Production teams, and implementing design improvements or alternate components to ensure performance continuity.
• Apply best practices in manufacturability and component design by designing PCBs and cable assemblies for efficient production, maintaining part libraries, and aligning designs with standard documentation and PDM protocols.
• Advance engineering documentation standards and design traceability by developing structured, audit-ready documentation practices, implementing standard templates and version controls, and providing validations from design concept to product release.

Requirements

You should have:

• BS in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) from an ABET-accredited institution – or equivalency
• Proficiency with schematic capture (e.g., OrCAD, Altium)
• Familiarity with embedded C/C++ firmware development
• Experience with product data management tools (e.g., SolidWorks Electrical, ERP systems)
• Self-directed and resourceful; detail-oriented, and committed to following through
• 3+ years of experience in embedded systems or electromechanical product design, ideally in UV curing, photonics, or industrial automation
• Knowledge of DFM/DFA principles, cable harnessing, and PCB layout
  Understanding of regulatory testing (CE, UL/CSA, EMI/EMC)
  Strong communication and documentation skills
  Comfort working both independently and in collaborative project team
• Hands-on approach to problem-solving and field work
