Sr. Electrical Engineer

Position Summary

The Sr. Electrical Engineer is responsible for developing moderate to complex electrical system designs for new products as well as design improvements for legacy products. Responsibilities also include exercising sound engineering judgement, presenting analysis summaries which support design decisions, and coaching SSEO Electrical Engineers I and II.

Responsibilities

• Develop innovative architectures which focus on performance, reliability, and compliance.
• Own design verification, prototyping, and system-level integration, with a strong emphasis on communication protocol implementation at the circuit level.
• Utilize expert-level understanding of the Altium design tool and generation of technical data.
• Proficient with design practices that facilitate low power and small form factors as used in battery powered products.
• Conduct in-depth design reviews, perform detailed signal integrity and power integrity analysis, and mentor less senior Engineers in best practices.
• Proficient with design practices in accordance with IPC standards.
• Supervise and develop complete electrical system level designs through the PLM system.
• Contribute technical leadership to SSEO Electrical Engineering projects in a team setting to meet project cost targets, budget requirements and delivery dates.
• Develop verification test plans, check the accuracy of test results, and draw logical conclusions.
• Drive manufacturability and cost optimization across electrical systems by resolving complex DFM challenges, engaging with vendors, and guiding design strategy to meet production and cost targets.
• Apply industry best practices for manufacturability as well as identify and implement new technologies.
• Drive Continuous Improvement in technical information, i.e. process records, schematics drawings, SOP’s, prototype and fixture drawings as needed to evaluate and support product design operations.
• Affordment patent application documentation.
• Deliver Electrical Engineering support across the organization and to external vendors, ensuring timely resolution of technical issues that impact design, production, or product performance.
• Perform circuit simulation and analysis using industry-standard tools to validate design performance and support troubleshooting throughout the development process.
• Assume technical ownership within the SIG SAUER NPI (New Product Introduction) process.
• Design and schematic drawing checker for other Electrical Engineers in SSEO Electrical Engineering.
• Provide mentorship to less experienced Engineers, sharing expertise and promoting collaboration across teams and disciplines.
• Participate in and sustain 5S Standards.
• Must follow all required Safety and ISO procedures.

Education/Experience & Skills

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical or Computer Engineering, and 7-10 years of previous experience as an Electrical Engineer required.
• Strong foundation in programming (C and assembly) to support complex hardware integration, validation, and bring-up.
• Proficient in Altium for advanced PCB design, automated test development, and/or skilled in FPGA-based systems, including HDL integration and verification.
• Strong command of debugging tools and communication protocols critical to high-reliability hardware platforms.
• Demonstrate proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, as well as Project and Visio.
• Apply strong knowledge of IPC standards and PCBA manufacturing and component sourcing to drive DFM/DFT, ensure specification compliance, and support supplier collaboration.
• Contribute to cost analyses and trade studies to optimize design for performance, manufacturability, and budget.
• Ability to write and review reports and procedures, and effectively present information to team members and management.
• Ability to define and resolve problems by collecting and analyzing data, establishing facts, drawing valid conclusions, and executing solutions.
• Ability to manage multiple projects in a logical and organized manner.
• Ability mentor other Engineers.
