Marginal Job Functions:

• Other projects as needed.

What You’ll Bring:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from an ABET-accredited institution.

• Technical project management and hands-on troubleshooting experience.
• At least two years of design experience with embedded hardware, or at least two years of design experience with AC/DC motors, generators, and drive systems.
• Experience with PCB layout.
• Basic knowledge of EMC/EMI and motor control or control theory.
• Ability to travel internationally approximately two to four times per year and participate in occasional early-morning or evening communication with overseas teams.

What Will Help You Stand Out:

• Well-rounded engineering experience across analog and digital hardware design, embedded controllers, motor control, digital communications, and system connectivity.
• Experience leading complex technical projects or cross-functional engineering initiatives from concept through product development.
• Demonstrated ability to influence global stakeholders and provide technical direction without direct supervisory authority.
• Strong planning, prioritization, and organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple projects.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to present technical ideas to varied audiences.
• Self-directed, collaborative, detail-oriented, and comfortable taking a hands-on approach to problem-solving.
