Electrical Engineer

Key Responsibilities

• Create detailed PCB layouts from schematic diagrams, ensuring proper component placement, routing, and layer management for optimal performance.
• Generate comprehensive manufacturing documentation, including Gerber files, drill files, Bill of Materials (BOM), and assembly drawings, to facilitate fabrication and assembly.
• Conduct design rule checks (DRC) to ensure the design adheres to internal company standards, manufacturer-specific guidelines (Design for Manufacturing, Assembly, and Test - DFM/DFA/DFT), and industry specifications.
• Work closely with electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing engineers to define design requirements, ensure mechanical fit, and address design challenges.
• Create and maintain an accurate library of schematic symbols and PCB footprints.
• Support the prototype build and testing phases, troubleshooting issues, and implementing necessary design adjustments.
• Order sample prototype PCBs for engineering prototype builds.
• Maintain PCB Software (Dip Trace) and Libraries: Make sure user library is updated on a weekly basis.
• Assemble units to go to TUV and UL for testing.
• Troubleshoot electrical issues and customer service with customer support.
• Conduct Root Cause Analysis in support of field failures and returns.
• Work with manufacturers to ensure they are building our products to the latest revisions.

Qualifications/Skills

• AS or BS in Electrical Engineering and 1-2 years of relevant experience.
• Experience with the design, testing, and troubleshooting of electromechanical products is a plus.
• Strong working knowledge of Electronics Lab test equipment including but not limited to DVM, Oscilloscope, Signal generator, Digital programmable power supply, IR speed tachometer, and LCR meter.
• Ability to test, evaluate, and debug prototypes and generate testing reports.
• Hands-on experience with test procedures and documentation.
• Working knowledge of Electrical/Electronic CAD software (Dip Trace preferred) and Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, etc.).
• Experience with approval agencies and test methodology related to PCBA design.
• Strong mechanical aptitude, with ability to design and build unique test fixtures.
• Ability to manage multiple assignments.
