CommScope is seeking an Electrical Engineer I to join a small, collaborative team focused on copper Ethernet cabling systems, hybrid fiber power solutions, and powered communications technologies for enterprise, data center, and intelligent building environments.

This entry‑level role is designed for a recent graduate or early‑career engineer with 0 to 2 years of experience, offering hands‑on exposure to product development, testing, and real‑world troubleshooting within a small team.

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited university.
Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and willingness to learn new technologies, tools, and standards.
0 to 2 years of professional engineering experience, including internship, co‑op, laboratory, or academic project experience.
Fundamental understanding of circuit analysis, AC/DC power fundamentals, electromagnetics, and signal integrity concepts.
Interest in hands‑on laboratory work involving product prototypes, electrical measurements, data collection, and troubleshooting.
Effective written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to document test results and explain technical observations clearly.
Ability to work effectively in a small‑team, multidisciplinary environment while balancing laboratory, analysis, and documentation tasks.
Willingness to take ownership of both technical and routine tasks, shift comfortably among different types of work, and help the team complete whatever is required to meet its commitments.

Responsibilities

As an Electrical Engineer I, you will support engineering and product development activities by:
Supporting development and evaluation of hybrid fiber power, fault‑managed power, and powered communications systems, including power delivery, protection, and integration considerations.
Assisting with electrical modeling, simulation, and laboratory measurement of cables, connectors, and system‑level performance.
Developing and executing engineering test plans to validate product performance, reliability, safety, and compliance requirements.
Conducting laboratory testing such as electrical, thermal, environmental, and EMC‑related evaluations under the guidance of senior engineers.
Using lab‑grade instrumentation such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, data loggers, network analyzers, VNAs, and programmable power loads.
Collecting, organizing, analyzing, and summarizing test data using tools such as Excel, MATLAB, Python, or similar analysis environments.
Supporting failure analysis and root‑cause investigations related to electrical performance, signal integrity, power delivery, and product reliability.
Collaborating with mechanical engineering, manufacturing, quality, supplier, compliance, product management, and field support teams.
Preparing technical reports, test summaries, design documentation, engineering change information, and material for internal design reviews.
Supporting product qualification, prototyping, pilot builds, early deployments, and new product introduction activities.
Building awareness of industry standards and practices, including TIA, IEEE, IEC, UL, NEC, and related requirements as applicable.
Contributing wherever the team needs support, including practical laboratory work, light workspace organization, prototype assembly, software development, documentation, and professional interaction with customers and other stakeholders.
