The MPD department is seeking a Principal Power & Analog Design Engineer to join our team. This position is an onsite role. We are looking for candidates who are eager to collaborate, innovate, and work alongside our talented engineering teams.

In this role, you will leverage advanced technologies to create cutting- edge solutions for sensor and effector products. You will partner with experienced, multidisciplinary teams to define requirements, develop architectures, execute detailed design and simulations, and perform integration and verification tasks. You will document your designs within the appropriate configuration management tools and provide comprehensive engineering support throughout the product lifecycle.

What you will do

• Drive requirements decomposition.
• Lead trade studies and define architecture at the circuit card and/or sub-system level.
• Lead power converter specification development.
• Lead the design, analysis, test, and documentation of analog and power conversion circuit card(s).
• Partner with ECAD drafters through stack up definition, layout, and routing activities.
• Plan and execute integration and verification activities in engineering laboratories.
• Provide product test and troubleshooting support.
• Support root- cause failure investigations.
• Define schedules for circuit card and sub-system level tasking.
• Drive execution to the planned budget and schedule.
• Identify and manage project risks and opportunities.
• Lead medium sized teams to success.
• Coach, review, and delegate work to junior engineers.
• Serve as a subject-matter expert within discipline.
• Lead internal and external technical reviews.
• Support customer interactions and relations.
• Contribute to product and technology roadmaps.
• Make improvements to processes, systems or products to enhance overall performance.
• Engage in personal technical growth and facilitate technical growth in peers and junior engineers.

Qualifications – You Must Have
