Senior Electrical Engineer

The role

The Senior Electrical Engineer will support the bring-up, characterization, validation, and integration of new printed circuit board assemblies. This role involves troubleshooting prototype circuit boards and integrating PCBAs into larger electromechanical systems.

What you will do

• Support bring-up, characterization, validation, and integration of new PCBAs.
• Review existing PCBA designs, schematics, component selection, layouts, and system interfaces.
• Develop and execute test plans to characterize and qualify digital and analog electronic hardware.
• Perform hands-on troubleshooting, debugging, and root cause analysis of prototype circuit boards and system-level hardware.
• Integrate PCBAs into larger electromechanical and instrument-level systems.
• Document test results, engineering findings, and Theory of Operation documentation.
• Implement design updates and support the release of qualified hardware into production.
• Work with cross-functional engineering teams to resolve technical issues.
• Support multiple new product development programs by adapting hardware architectures.
• Utilize laboratory test equipment including oscilloscopes, DMMs, pulse generators, current probes, and spectrum analyzers.

Required qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• Experience with board-level hardware development, testing, debug, and integration.
• Strong understanding of analog and digital circuit design principles.
• Hands-on experience troubleshooting electronic systems in a laboratory environment.
• Ability to develop and execute hardware validation, qualification, and characterization test plans.
• Experience interpreting electrical schematics, PCB layouts, and technical documentation.
• Strong problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.
• Ability to collaborate effectively within a cross-functional engineering team.
