• Knowledge and experience with microcontrollers in sensors.
• Knowledge and experience with analog interfaces to devices and sensors for control and sensing.
• Experience with FCC and CE testing of electronics equipment.
• Experience in schematic capture and PCB layout, preferably in Mentor Graphics.
• Ability to create schematics from requirements and guide PCB designers in layout.
• Ability to diagnose warranty issues and correct design to reduce field failures.
• Experience in part selection and creation of part records in manufacturing database.
• Experience with creating bills of materials, drawing records and change orders to provide documentation for production to create an PWA.
• Experience with electronics contract manufacturers implementing production of PWA in new/existing product lines.
• Experience with correcting design for manufacturing (DFM) issues on PWA.
• Exposure to C, Python, Bash, LabView, and Linux is preferred.
• Exposure to HVAC principles and systems is preferred.
