• Conduct electrical analysis, simulations, troubleshooting, and root cause investigations
• Integrate electrical systems with mechanical components, embedded firmware, and software
• Develop and execute validation plans, verification testing, and design reviews
• Select electrical components based on performance, availability, lifecycle, manufacturability, and cost
• Prepare and maintain BOMs, specifications, drawings, test procedures, engineering change documentation, and technical reports
• Support new product development projects by meeting schedules, milestones, and deliverables
• Ensure designs comply with applicable regulatory, safety, and industry standards, including UL, CE, ISO, and other requirements
• Provide engineering support during prototype builds, manufacturing implementation, product launches, and ongoing production
• Support customer, field service, and manufacturing issues through technical analysis and corrective action recommendations
• Assist with supplier evaluation, selection, and technical communication related to electrical components and assemblies
• Participate in continuous improvement initiatives to improve product quality, reliability, manufacturability, and efficiency
• Stay current with emerging technologies and apply advancements to product designs when appropriate
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers, technicians, or interns as assigned

What You'll Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering from an ABET-accredited institution required. Master’s degree, Professional Engineer license, or equivalent advanced engineering experience preferred.
• 3-5 years of experience in electrical design and product development
• Experience with scientific, laboratory, industrial, or instrumentation equipment preferred
• Experience with embedded systems, PCB design, compliance testing, and product development preferred
• Strong knowledge of analog and digital circuit design, PCB layout, and electrical system development
• Proficiency using ECAD software, electrical test equipment, and engineering analysis tools
• Ability to evaluate complex technical issues and apply sound engineering judgment
• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to identify root causes and recommend practical solutions
• Strong communication skills with both technical and non-technical audiences
• Excellent organization, project management, documentation, and time management skills
• Ability to manage multiple priorities while meeting project deadlines
