Lead Electrical Design Engineer

Role Overview and Responsibilities

The Lead Electrical Design Engineer is responsible for designing high reliability and precision electromagnetic components and value-added assemblies for medical devices and aerospace and defense applications. This position will serve as the technical lead in electromagnetic Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and within our engineering team as well as in cross-functional projects.

This position does have flexible working options.

Key Responsibilities

• Interpreting customer requirements and providing an optimum design solution by means of Excel / VBA programming, FEA and Solidworks Modeling.
• Generating 2D/3D models and use FEA to solve complex electromagnetic and multiphysics problems.
• Improving design efficiency by developing custom Excel with VBA programming.
• Utilizing scripting capability to improve FEA efficiency.
• Establishing FEA best practice guidelines, internal training manuals, and providing FEA training to colleagues.
• Designing electromagnetic assemblies that not only meet the functional requirements but are also cost effective, designed for manufacturability, and meet safety and regulatory requirements.
• Leading design input, output, verification and validation reviews cross-functionally.
• Designing, documenting and coordinating the product design, prototype process, verification and validation of assigned products.
• Interfacing with sales prototype technicians, engineers, documentation, product personnel, customer service, manufacturing, purchasing, quality assurance, and scheduling to ensure that the project is completed properly, on time and within budget.
• Initiating, reviewing, and approving engineering change orders (ECOs) to ensure both customer requirements and the company’s capabilities and processes are met.
• Developing and maintaining detailed project schedules for major projects to optimize resource utilization and milestone deliverables.
