Senior Electrical Engineer in Production, Test, PCBA – Dallas, TX
We are seeking a high-caliber Senior Electrical Engineer who thrives on creative problem-solving and wants to escape the rigid bureaucracy of massive corporations. In this role, you will support manufacturing operations by resolving electrical issues and improving quality and manufacturability.
You will focus on root cause analysis and continuous improvement of the production process. You will work in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment between design engineering and manufacturing.
Why should you apply here?
- Unmatched Stability & Growth: A profitable, local Dallas firm with a 39+ year legacy of market leadership, backed by a massive pipeline of future orders in a highly stable, inflation-resistant niche.
- 100% In-House Ecosystem: Say goodbye to frustrating overseas manufacturing delays. Our engineering and manufacturing teams work under one roof, so you can walk the floor, prototype quickly, and iterate seamlessly.
- Zero Red Tape (Flat Structure): We maintain a flat organizational structure where your voice is heard, decisions are made fast, and creative “outside-the-box” engineering is genuinely celebrated.
- The Perfect Team Size: With 260 total staff and over 100 professionals at our Dallas location, we are large enough to win high-end, prestigious clients, yet small enough that your individual contributions directly shape our technology.
- Leadership You Can Trust: Work alongside a highly stable executive and engineering team committed to continuous technical innovation, continuous learning, and mentorship.
What will you be doing?
- Lead root cause analysis and corrective actions for electro-mechanical product failures observed in production and the field.
- Provide hands-on troubleshooting of electrical systems, PCBAs, and integrated electro-mechanical assemblies.
- Support production teams in resolving technical issues to minimize downtime and ensure delivery commitments.
- Partner with quality and manufacturing teams to drive containment, corrective, and preventive actions (CAPA).
- Analyze failure trends and implement design or process improvements to enhance product reliability.
- Support failure analysis activities including test development, data collection, and reporting.
- Work closely with design engineering to implement design changes that improve manufacturability and robustness.
- Identify and execute cost reduction opportunities through component changes, design optimization, and process improvements.
- Interface with design engineering, quality, supply chain, and contract manufacturers to resolve issues and implement improvements.
- Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers and technicians.
- Support documentation updates including schematics, BOMs, work instructions, and test procedures.
What skills/experience do you need?
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering.
- 5-15 years of experience in electrical engineering with a focus on PCBA and OEM product manufacturing and testing.
- Strong troubleshooting and root cause analysis skills for electrical and electro-mechanical systems.
- Experience with test equipment (oscilloscopes, DMMs, power supplies, signal generators, etc.).
- Ability to read and interpret schematics, PCB layouts, and technical drawings.
- Familiarity with failure analysis techniques and reliability engineering principles.
- Experience with component selection, qualification, and obsolescence management.
- Working knowledge of manufacturing processes, including PCBA assembly and test.
- Ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams to meet product requirements.
- Familiarity with industry standards and regulations (e.g., UL, CE, RoHS, etc.).
