Electrical Engineer (6-Month Contract)

About the role

You will design, develop, and test a wide range of electrical components, equipment, and systems. You may use computer-assisted engineering and design software and equipment to perform assignments. This role involves applying electrical engineering principles and techniques to support product development, testing, and manufacturing activities.

Responsibilities

• Sets up and operates test equipment to evaluate electrical components and systems.
• Supports the determination of design approaches and parameters.
• Analyzes equipment to establish operating data, conducts experimental tests, and evaluates results.
• Selects components and equipment based on analysis of specifications, performance, and reliability requirements.
• Supports review of vendor capability to support product development activities.
• Supports New Product Introduction (NPI), specifically the design of electronic circuitry, circuit design, and PCB layout.
• Supports design and procurement activities to meet specified NPI requirements, schedules, internal quality requirements, and industry standards.
• Supports existing products by analyzing and debugging interface circuits for customer applications.
• Assists in resolving issues in a timely manner with minimal disruption to production.
• Supports product reviews (both NPI and existing products) for Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), ensuring electronic equipment and systems can operate effectively in their intended applications.
• Participates in cross-functional teams to identify and address production and development issues.
• Supports troubleshooting activities to minimize defects in final manufactured parts and products.
• Supports the development of new testing hardware and software to support manufacturing operations and new product development activities as needed.
• Interfaces with Manufacturing Engineers on issues related to NPI, PCB, and EMC requirements.

Requirements

• Experience in designing, developing, and testing electrical components, equipment, and systems.
• Ability to make technical decisions and recommendations based on established engineering practices and procedures.
• Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering required.
• Minimum of 3–5 years of related engineering experience in a high-volume manufacturing environment, ideally in the automotive or commercial vehicle industry.
• Experience with CAD circuit design software and circuit simulation software (Altium experience is a plus).
