Summary of the role

As a member of our team, you will have the opportunity to work in a dynamic and collaborative environment, where your ideas and contributions will be valued and respected.

Job Summary

We are looking for an Electrical Engineer who will play an integral role in our R&D team designing the next generation of high precision electronics and semiconductor inspection sensors. In this role, you will take ideas from concept to reality - driving the design and development of next-generation sensors that set new standards for accuracy and performance. You will be involved in this process from product conception to production. This position requires design conceptualization to meet product requirements, project planning and tracking, design implementation, test and verification to specifications, transition to production, continuation, and documentation.

Essential Job Duties and Responsibilities

• Design electronic circuits for 3D measurement products that utilize machine vision and pattern projection.
• Interpret customer and internal product requirements and translate into product specifications, risks, and design concepts.
• Risk reduction through feasibility studies of initial electronics concepts.
• Contribute to project planning by estimating tasks, resources, schedules, NRE, production costs, and manufacturing support.
• Design electrical circuits utilizing FPGAs, micro-processors and micro-controllers, System On Modules (SOMs), low speed devices with I2C and SPI, and high-speed devices like LPDDR4.
• Ability to solve challenging problems with creative design solutions.
• Supervision of PCB layout activities that must achieve challenging size, space, weight, and high-speed board requirements.
• Implement FPGA logic using Verilog (preferred) or VHDL languages.
• Manage fabrication and testing of prototype and production electrical designs.
• Design and verification testing to internal and external specifications.
• Development of manufacturing, calibration, and alignment processes.
• Transition new designs to manufacturing.
• Support existing products, customer issues, and supply chain issues.
• Mentoring of Junior Engineers and Technicians.

Education and Experience Requirements

• BS Electrical Engineering with 2+ years related experience.
• MS Electrical Engineering

Preferred Skills and Abilities

• Ability to take a new electronics design from conceptualization to schematic drawing, PCB layout, fabrication, verification testing, and transition to production.
• Skilled in FPGA hardware and HDL design with a preference to the Xilinx/AMD toolset and Verilog language.
• Skilled in digital and analog circuit design, including schematic capture.
• Experience with communications interfaces like PCIe, Ethernet, USB, I2C, SPI, or RS-422.
• Hands-on experience with embedded systems, micro-controllers, and real-time firmware is a plus
• Knowledge of machine vision technologies like CMOS imagers, DLP display projection, Coaxpress, Cameralink, or MIPI is considered a plus.
• Experience with power supply design and high-power LED drive circuitry.
• Strong documentation skills that encompass schematic capture, PCB and BOM file management, theory of operation and design descriptions, test plans and results, and design issue logging and resolution.
• Knowledge of high speed and high-density PCB layout, propagation and impedance calculations, and fabrication methods. PCB simulation knowledge a plus.
• Ability to design electronics that will meet international compliance standards like CE.
• Ability to self-manage, plan, multitask, and work effectively in a multi-disciplinary team.
• Strong communications skills.
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
