• Develop and refine requirements and ensure compliance

• Generate test plans and test reports (e.g., brassboard, design verification, qualification, firing properties)

• Lead test activities throughout the product development cycle

• Lead failure investigations using structured methods (8D, Fishbone, Cause & Effect)

• Lead and prepare design reviews for all phases of the product development cycle

• Serve as primary technical interface to internal and external customers

• Provide inputs for Requests for Proposals (RFPs) (material and labor estimates)

• Generate Engineering Orders (EOs) and Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs)

• Mentor electrical engineering staff

• Lead and multi-task across multiple projects simultaneously

• 5+ years digital building blocks (logic gates, flip flops, timers, filters)

• 4+ years power conversion concepts (AC/DC, DC/DC, DC/AC; linear and switching supplies)

• 5+ years troubleshooting with standard lab equipment (oscilloscopes, function generators, meters)

• 4+ years schematic capture and/or board layout (Altium, PADS)

• 4+ years leading large-scale technical projects with minimal guidance

• 4+ years preparing and participating in internal/external design reviews

• 4+ years creating technical documentation (test plans, test reports, drawings, etc.)

Benefits

• Salary range: $140K–$165K

• Fast-paced, dynamic environment with opportunities to lead technical projects
