• Create schematics, perform component selection, and develop board layouts using Altium Designer or similar tools.
• Develop mixed-signal, power, motor-control, and control system electronics.
• Participate in hardware architecture and design reviews.
• Troubleshoot prototype and production hardware, performing root-cause analysis and corrective actions.
• Support PCB bring-up, validation, integration, and qualification testing.
• Collaborate closely with mechanical, software, systems, manufacturing, and test engineering teams.
• Work directly with manufacturing partners to support prototype and production builds.
• Contribute to new product development initiatives and next-generation system designs.
• Support design-for-manufacturability (DFM) and design-for-testability (DFT) activities.
• Help drive projects from initial requirements through field deployment and sustainment.

Essential Skills

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline.
• 7–10+ years of hands-on electrical engineering and PCB design experience for electronic-based products and high-performing systems.
• Extensive experience designing complex multilayer PCBs for various applications including commercial, aerospace, robotics, automotive, or defense products.
