Electronics Engineer - Crossroads

Responsibilities

• Interpret and manage customer and internal requirements as they relate to designing, testing, fielding, and sustaining compliant battery electronics systems.
• Develop battery electronics systems from first concept prototype through validation and qualification testing.
• Perform circuit design, analysis, simulation, and PCB layout around customer requirements to perform in harsh environments including vibration, shock, thermal cycling, humidity, corrosive atmospheres, and radiation.
• Design measurement, analog signal conditioning, and A/D conversion circuits for various physical battery parameters such as voltage, current, temperature, and time.
• Design and manage high current conduction paths from tens to hundreds of amperes for both battery charge and discharge.
• Generate and maintain electronics engineering data deliverables such as drawings and PCB manufacturing data packages, compliance/verification matrices, FMEAs, electronics test reports, de-rating and parts stress analyses, current distribution analyses, reliability/MTBF analyses, etc.
• Perform root cause analysis and define and implement corrective actions in response to technical design, manufacturing, test, and performance issues.
• Prepare and conduct presentations to peers, management, and external customers (written and oral).
• Assist the Program Manager in identifying and mitigating risks to product quality, schedule, and cost.
• Perform hardware support tasks including troubleshooting of existing assemblies, selection and justification of alternate components or alternate component sources, qualification testing, documentation updates and corrections, and other hardware related tasks as may be required.
