• Develop robust, innovative, and cost-effective solutions to complex electrical and electronic design challenges.
• Perform conceptual studies, system-level analysis, design calculations, and technical feasibility assessments.
• Review and assess electrical designs to identify potential design conflicts, interface issues, and technical risks early in the development process.
• Lead detailed engineering activities, including the development and review of electrical schematics, layouts, and related design documentation.
• Apply strong problem-solving and decision-making skills to resolve complex technical issues.
• Participate in and/or chair technical and design reviews, ensuring design quality and adherence to defined requirements.
• Ensure lessons learned are captured, documented, and effectively incorporated into current and future product designs.
• Mentor, guide, and technically challenge Electrical Engineering team members to promote engineering excellence and continuous development.
• Ensure product designs meet required standards for reliability, manufacturability, quality, cost, and performance.
• Ensure electrical and electronic designs comply with applicable regulatory requirements, industry standards, and customer specifications.
• Exposure to Milestone review of Aerospace standards like PDR, CDR and TRR.
• Drive Design for Manufacturing (DFM), Design for Cost (DFC), Design for Quality (DFQ), and Design for Certification (DFC) principles throughout the product development cycle.
• Develop and execute technical plans for each phase of the product development lifecycle.
• Proactively identify, assess, and mitigate technical and design risks throughout the product development cycle.
• Should demonstrate strong technical capability in solving EMI/EMC issues during product testing.
• Identify opportunities and provide recommendations for improving products, engineering processes, design methodologies, and development practices.
• Demonstrate strong technical leadership and the ability to influence engineering decisions across multidisciplinary teams.
• Demonstrate excellent verbal and written communication, interpersonal, collaboration, and stakeholder-management skills.

Preferred Technical Experience & Core Competencies
