Responsibilities
- Lead electrical design and development of industrial printing systems from concept through production.
- Design and develop electrical systems for print controllers and printheads, including architectures, specifications, schematics, BOMs, and PCB layouts.
- Perform detailed circuit analysis and lead PCB/PCBA design, bring‑up, troubleshooting, and production launch.
- Work with FPGA and high‑performance SoC application processors as part of embedded system development.
- Create and maintain comprehensive electrical design and engineering documentation.
- Lead prototype development, laboratory testing, and field testing.
- Diagnose complex electrical and system‑level issues and drive solutions through implementation.
- Evaluate designs against applicable industry standards and ensure compliance throughout development.
- Partner closely with software, firmware, mechanical, test, and project management teams to deliver successful products.
- Collaborate with manufacturing on product improvements, process improvements, and production support.
- Provide technical leadership throughout the product lifecycle.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
- 8+ years of electrical design engineering experience, preferably involving embedded systems.
- Strong, hands‑on FPGA experience.
- Deep understanding of embedded systems, FPGA, power electronics, and system‑level electrical design.
- Experience with PCB design, layout, and PCBA development; proficiency with Altium.
- Proven track record taking hardware from initial design through prototype, bring‑up, testing, troubleshooting, and production.
- Ability to read, develop, and analyze complex electrical schematics and circuit designs.
- Industrial automation or manufacturing experience is highly desirable.
- Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills with the ability to solve complex technical problems.
- Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities in a fast‑paced environment.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills; ability to collaborate across engineering and business functions.
- Ability to work independently while providing technical leadership within a collaborative team.
- Work authorization: no visa sponsorship or employment‑based immigration support is provided.
