Principle Responsibilities:

Design HVAC/R products to provide customer-driven solutions that meet or exceed requirements:

1.  Lead schematic and PCB design for assigned new-product and sustaining projects 
2.  Use Altium Designer or equivalent to create and maintain schematics, PCB layouts, libraries, and manufacturing outputs
3.  Design accurate, reliable, and manufacturable analog and digital circuitry 
4.  Translate product requirements into documented electrical design requirements 
5.  Design analog and digital circuitry with emphasis on accuracy, reliability, signal integrity, noise rejection, and operation in     electrically noisy environments
6.  Select components based on performance, availability, lifecycle, cost, and compliance 
7.  Coordinate hardware interfaces with Firmware, Test, Product Management, and Manufacturing Engineering 
8.  Troubleshoot and debug hardware and related firmware interactions 
9.  Test, verify, and validate assigned designs using appropriate laboratory equipment 
10.  Review design work and provide technical guidance within assigned scope 

Provide ongoing Production support and implement design change:

1.  Own assigned engineering changes from evaluation through release 
2.  Investigate product and production issues using structured root-cause methods 
3.  Recommend design or process changes that improve quality, cost, throughput, or reliability
4.  Support component substitutions, product launch, and sustaining-engineering activities 

Maintain complete and accurate design documentation, including schematics, PCB files, bills of material, calculations, design-review records, manufacturing outputs, archives, and reports.

Maintain industry knowledge through training, publications, technology evaluation, and professional networks.

Contribute to team effort, including special projects and tasks delegated by the supervisor.
