Job Summary:

We are seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer to support the design, development, validation, and manufacturing of electronic devices and cellular communication modules. This role will bridge product development and manufacturing by designing automation equipment and electronic hardware, supporting printed circuit board (PCB) development, and ensuring products are optimized for automated, high-volume production using Surface Mount Technology (SMT).

The Electrical Engineer will work cross-functionally with Product Development, Automation, Controls, Mechanical, Manufacturing, and Quality teams to bring new products from concept through production while ensuring reliability, manufacturability, and compliance with industry standards. This position will be on-site reporting to the Head of Capital Projects. Travel is estimated at 10% or less.

Key Duties & Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and validate electrical systems for automated manufacturing equipment
• Design and review schematics, PCB layouts, and electrical architecture for new products.
• Evaluate PCB layouts and collaborate with Manufacturing Engineers to optimize designs for SMT manufacturing and automated assembly.
• Develop and execute hardware validation plans, design functional testing (FCT), radio frequency testing (RF), and electrical performance testing fixtures, equipment and applications.
• Support component selection, qualification, lifecycle management, and supplier technical reviews.
• Develop electrical specifications, interface documentation, and engineering drawings.
• Collaborate with Manufacturing Engineering to ensure products meet Design for Manufacturing (DFM), Design for Assembly/Automation (DFA), and Design for Testability (DFT) requirements.
• Support development of automated functional test equipment and end-of-line testing processes.
• Analyze product failures, perform root cause investigations, and implement corrective actions.
• Evaluate new technologies, electronic components, and communication modules to improve product performance and manufacturability.
• Support engineering change orders (ECOs), product revisions, and new product introductions (NPI).
• Participate in design reviews, FMEAs, risk assessments, and reliability studies.
• Work closely with Controls and Automation Engineers during manufacturing equipment integration and product launch activities.
• Ensure compliance with applicable regulatory, safety, and EMC requirements.

Qualifications/Skills/Knowledge:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
• 5+ years of experience designing electronic products in a manufacturing environment.
• Experience with PCB design, schematic development, and electronic hardware validation.
• Experience designing functional testing and radio frequency testing.
• Knowledge of analog and digital circuit design.
• Experience supporting products manufactured using Surface Mount Technology (SMT).
• Familiarity with electronic component selection, qualification, and supplier management.
• Understanding of Design for Manufacturing (DFM), Design for Assembly/Automation (DFA), and Design for Testability (DFT).
• Experience troubleshooting electronic assemblies using laboratory test equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, and power supplies.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
• Experience designing products with cellular communication modules, wireless connectivity, IoT devices, or embedded electronics.
• Experience with Cadence, Altium Designer, OrCAD, KiCad, or similar ECAD tools.
• Knowledge of RF fundamentals and antenna integration.
• Experience with embedded systems and microcontroller-based hardware.
• Familiarity with IPC standards, including IPC-A-610 and IPC-2221.
• Experience supporting automated functional testing and manufacturing test development.
• Knowledge of EMC/EMI design principles and regulatory compliance.
• Experience with New Product Introduction (NPI) in high-volume manufacturing.
• Lean Manufacturing or Six Sigma certification.
• Electrical Circuit Design
• PCB Design & Layout Review
