Job description

We have an outstanding career opportunity for a Senior Electrical Test Engineer to join a leading Company located in the Boxborough, MA surrounding area.
We are seeking a Senior Electrical Test Engineer w ho is passionate about designing, motion systems and supporting all aspects of our controls ecosystem. This individual will be responsible for the design , development , and qualification of custom motion solutions for major customers in the US, Europe, and Asia. The ideal candidates possess a solid aptitude or background in integrating and testing digital and analog electronic control systems. The candidate will be required to generate sound technical concepts, and innovative and qualify new designs in a dynamic project development environment. Beyond the design, the candidate will be responsible for troubleshooting, measuring, tuning, and analyzing system performance data. You will excel at this role if you love to be a key member of a fast-paced team. You will work in both Team and individual settings.
Responsibilities :

• Gather and analyze requirements, generate specifications, design architectures, and outline system interfaces through direct customer and team communications to generate concept and cost models and assist with proposals.
• Define, architect, and lead the implementation of projects related to precision motion systems, in addition to maintaining traceability matrices across requirements, design, and testing through the Project Development Process.
• Create and manage project documentation (Altium, AutoCAD, MathCAD, or MatLab), including: electrical schematics, interconnect drawings, component selection, software development, Bill of Materials (BOM), processing engineering change requests and orders (ECR/ECO), test instructions, installation, and operating instructions.
• Lead engineering development activities through the established Project Development Process using best engineering practices.

• Ensure compliance of the new systems with design controls and all regulatory requirements such as CE, UL, RoHS, REACH, etc .
• Assemble and Test rapid prototype new concepts and machines to mitigate technical risks on new development concepts.
• Use multiple controllers and drive products from internal and external suppliers such as Kollmorgen, Elmo, Galil, and PMD to setup and run tests.

Basic Hiring Criteria :

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or Physics (with substantial electrical career experience) is required (Master's accepted).
• Strong understanding of the fundamentals of Electronics, Physics, Mechanics, and Electromagnetics.
• Minimum 5 years of electrical engineering experience and a proven capability of servo control implementation as demonstrated by numerous project successes.
• Minimum 2 years of LabView code development experience - CLD or higher strongly preferred with Motion Controls, Drives, and Optical Encoders.
• Experience in driving the test and/or electrical design phases of technical engineering projects in the area of precision motion.
• Ability to perform engineering mathematical analysis (utilizing tools such as MathCAD or MatLab).
• Ability to interface with code developed in languages such as C, C++, C#, Python.
• Experience and comfort in using CAD software (AutoCAD, Altium) to generate various levels of electrical documentation - cable design and system schematics.

Desired Qualifications :

• A broad experience base using multiple electrical engineering tools across several disciplines.
• PCBA Design.
