Sr. Electronic Engineer

About the role

Trimble is seeking a highly skilled Senior Electrical Engineer specializing in embedded systems and sensors to architect, implement, and validate electrical designs for advanced machine control applications. Specifically, you will lead the development of inertial sensor technology (IMUs) from initial prototyping through to production.

Responsibilities

• Circuit Design & Analysis: Architect and implement PCB-level sensor interface circuitry, including power regulation, EMI shielding, and noise isolation tailored for harsh environments.
• Sensor Selection & Evaluation: Select, evaluate, and qualify IMU hardware components (accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetometers) from external vendors against strict performance criteria (bias stability, noise density, vibration tolerance).
• Algorithmic Integration: Support the development of signal conditioning, filtering (Kalman, complementary, Madgwick), and sensor fusion middleware to deliver accurate orientation data.
• Calibration, Testing & Validation: Design and comprehensive validation test plans covering static/dynamic accuracy, thermal cycling, vibration endurance, and environmental testing.
• Data Analysis: Utilize simulation and analysis tools to evaluate design performance and drive iterative improvements.
• Production Readiness: Define factory and in-field calibration procedures. Generate Engineering Change Notices (ECNs) and design production-level test fixtures to support the successful transition of products to manufacturing.

Requirements

• You hold a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering (MSEE) or a Bachelor’s Degree (BSEE) with equivalent experience.
• You bring 5+ years of exposure to electronic circuit design, research, and debugging for embedded systems and sensors, with a strong focus on IMUs.
• You possess robust expertise in analog and exposure to digital electronic circuit design, component research, and risk mitigation strategies.
• You have a proven track record working with Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs), specifically with accelerometers and gyroscopes.
• You are a strong communicator capable of writing technical specifications and presenting to customers and cross-functional stakeholders.
• You have experience designing Functional Safety products or transferable experience.
• You have proficiency in Matlab and SPICE (PSpice) simulation software, alongside familiarity with C and C++ firmware development.
