Job description

Anderson‑Negele is seeking a hands‑on Electrical Hardware Design Engineer in Spartanburg, SC who has taken electronic products from a blank schematic to a certified, shipping industrial product. You will own the hardware for new hygienic sensors and measurement systems end to end: architecture, schematics, PCB layout and routing (done yourself), board bring‑up, and UL, CSA, CE and EMC certification. Our products run 24/7 in food, beverage and pharmaceutical plants, so we need someone who designs for compliance from day one.

Key Responsibilities

New product design, concept to production

• Own new product electronics from a clean sheet: requirements, architecture, component selection, schematics, prototypes and production release
• Design analog, mixed‑signal, power and microcontroller circuits for industrial sensing (RTD/NTC, 4–20 mA, HART, industrial I/O), with simulation, worst‑case analysis and derating
• Lead and participate in schematic and PCB design reviews

PCB layout and routing (hands‑on ownership)

• Personally lay out and route your boards; layout is not handed off to another group or service bureau
• Own the PCB end to end: placement, stack‑up, multilayer routing (mixed‑signal, power, high‑voltage, controlled impedance), libraries, design rules and fab/assembly outputs
• Work with fabricators and contract manufacturers on DFM, DFT, Gerber/BOM reviews, prototype builds and production ramp‑up

Design for compliance and certification

• Design to UL, CSA and CE (LVD, EMC, RoHS) from the first schematic, applying UL/IEC 61010‑1 safety rules (creepage, clearance, isolation, fault conditions) and IEC 61326‑1 / IEC 61000‑4‑x immunity
• Run pre‑compliance testing, work with third‑party labs (UL, CSA, TÜV, Intertek) through certification, and maintain technical files and critical component lists

Validation, sustaining and collaboration

• Bring up and validate new boards using oscilloscopes, spectrum, logic and power analyzers; write and execute DVT plans, including environmental testing
• Support the manufacturing production floor as part of sustainment: be on hand to resolve build and test issues, assist with troubleshooting, and lead root cause analysis of hardware, manufacturing and field failures
• Drive reliability, cost and obsolescence redesigns while protecting existing UL/CSA/CE listings
• Work closely with mechanical, firmware, manufacturing, quality and product management, and communicate design intent to vendors and certification bodies

Required Qualifications

• BS in Electrical Engineering (MS preferred) and 5+ years of hands‑on hardware design on industrial or similarly regulated products
• Proven ownership of at least two electronic products from concept through production, designed from scratch rather than modified
• Hands‑on PCB layout and routing: you have personally routed multilayer boards that went into production (Altium, KiCad or similar)
• Direct experience taking a product through UL, CSA and/or CE certification, including resolving safety and EMC findings with test labs
• Working knowledge of safety (UL/IEC 61010‑1, UL 508, IEC 62368‑1) and EMC (IEC 61326‑1, IEC 61000‑4‑x, CISPR 11) standards
• Strong grasp of analog and mixed‑signal design, microcontroller systems, power supplies and isolation, signal conditioning, and circuit protection (ESD, surge, transients)
• Experience with board bring‑up, debugging, lab instrumentation, and PCB/contract manufacturers
• Be ready to walk us through a product you designed, layouts you routed, and the certifications it earned

Preferred Qualifications

• Industrial instrumentation or sensor experience (temperature, pressure, level, flow, weighing)
• Industrial protocols: 4–20 mA/HART, IO-Link, Modbus, PROFINET or EtherNet/IP
• Hygienic processing environments (food, beverage, pharma; 3‑A, EHEDG) and harsh[1]environment design (washdown, IP67/IP69K)
• Hazardous location (ATEX/IECEx, Class I Div 2), functional safety (IEC 61508), or MID/NTEP experience
• RF, wireless or IoT connectivity with FCC/RED compliance
• Experience leading design reviews or mentoring engineers
