Job description

Introduction of the job

As an Electrical Engineer, you will specify, design, develop, realize, integrate, and test modules and tools in a multi-disciplined team, collaborating closely with cross-functional partners and suppliers. You will deliver within system specifications, cost targets, and project schedules, ensuring timely realization of solutions that contribute to competitive, achievable, and serviceable products. The Electrical Engineer provides discipline specific expertise throughout the entire product life cycle. This Includes concept feasibility, new product introduction, existing product sustainment and customer facing problem resolution. The position requires highly motivated, extremely organized, and self-driven individuals.

Take the lead in developing complex parts of modules and deliver technically complex solutions with full ownership, considering industrialization and cross-team impacts. Collaborate across multiple teams, lead interfaces with suppliers and other disciplines in less defined environments and guide a small group of peers through technical execution.

Design:

• Analog and Digital Circuit Design
• Printed Circuit Board Design
• AC and DC Power Distribution Design
• Interlock & Safety Circuit Design and Programable Logic Controller (PLC) Design
• Interconnect Cables and Harness Design
• Electronic Racks, Cabinets, Boxes and Control Console Design
• Perform Root Cause Analysis: Troubleshooting from System to Component Level
• Schematic Capture: Functional Overviews, Cable Overviews, and Detail Wiring Diagrams
• Technical Writing: Define and Document Specifications and Design Decisions

Test & Integration:

• Develop and Implement the Product Validation and Verification (V&V) Strategy
• Design, Develop and Build Product Specific Test Tooling
  • Includes: Simulation, Emulation, and Hardware Test Tools.
• Test Validation and Verification (V&V) of Product Requirements
  • Plan and Execute Component Level Testing & Sub-module Integration
  • Plan and Execute Module Level and System Level Integration
  • Bridge the gap between Electrical Systems and System Software
• Technical Writing: Define and Document Test Procedures, and Test Reports

Responsibilities

In this role, you will contribute to engineering deliverables that scale with job grade, from executing defined tasks and supporting senior engineers to owning complex technical scope, coordinating cross-functional work, and leading program-level outcomes.

• Identify, analyze, document, and manage requirements with traceability, and coordinate verification criteria to confirm deliverables meet intent.
• Conduct research and feasibility studies, document findings, and translate results into recommendations, tradeoffs, and decision inputs.
• Develop engineering concepts and solutions, make technical choices, and resolve issues to meet functionality, performance, cost, and compliance needs.
• Define and communicate specifications and high-level designs, align interfaces, and support reviews and approvals to enable quality execution.
• Support system or product integration by coordinating dependencies, applying configuration management, and enabling smooth project execution.
• Define and execute validation and test approaches, improve methods and procedures, and ensure qualification evidence supports release readiness.
• Estimate effort, plan and track work, manage risks and dependencies, and deliver assigned work packages or projects to agreed quality and timelines.
• Maintain accurate technical documentation, share knowledge through coaching and mentoring as applicable, and follow EHS policies while identifying and mitigating safety risks.

Education & experience

• Bachelors degree in a Electrical Engineering required. Masters or PhD preferred.

• Minimum of 4 years of relevant work experience required.
