Full Job Description
PURPOSE
The primary responsibilities of the Electrical Engineer II involves the design, development, modification, and implementation of Electrical/Electronic subsystems for a high-speed document scanner. This engineer must have knowledge of digital electronics and electrical hardware systems. This individual is required to work closely with an experienced team of electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, firmware engineers, and manufacturing engineers, as well as with product management to assure that project goals are being met across interdepartmental boundaries.
JOB DESCRIPTION
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Understand the required functionality of electronics and electrical subsystems within the scanner and being capable of working within a design team to implement new functionality and features.
New design and maintenance of existing designs of the microprocessor systems within the scanner.
New design and maintenance of existing designs of power subsystems within the scanner.
Able to investigate failures within the electrical and electronic subsystems of the scanner, determine the root cause of the failure, and create a plan for corrective action.
Participate in the general support and maintenance of the electrical and electronic subsystems of the scanner.
Develop schematics, wiring diagrams, and cable harness designs, including connector selection, shielding, grounding, and EMI/EMC considerations.
Proficiency with schematic capture and PCB/cable design tools such as OrCAD or equivalent.
Able to work closely with a Certification Agency to obtain and maintain product certification of the scanner.
Document all electronic and electronic subsystem's operational specifications, changes, tolerances, and theory of operations.
Work closely with the cross functional teams (Mechanical, Firmware, Manufacturing, Customer Service, Current Product Engineering, Documentation, and Product Management) to integrate and orchestrate all features/specifications that impact electrical and electronic subsystems of the product.
Design, analyze, and validate DC power distribution and low-voltage control systems for electromechanical assemblies.
Ability to model systems to determine supply requirements under various operating conditions.
Select, size, and integrate stepper motors, solenoids, encoders, sensors, and motor drivers into new and existing platforms.
Support transition to manufacturing, including DFM, test fixtures, and production release.
Demonstrated ability to debug hardware using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other bench tools.
Strong documentation, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
PREFERRED SKILLS, QUALIFICATIONS AND EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS
Bachelor of Science or Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent with hands-on electronic project experience
7-10 years of job-related experience a plus
Knowledge of digital system design including tools, timing analysis, simulation, programming languages.
Knowledge of electrical power systems and power components.
Experience with EMI/EMC mitigation, filtering, and grounding strategies.
Knowledge of safety and regulatory standards (UL, CE, IEC, etc.).
Knowledge of microprocessor systems and related C-language and Assembly language programming.
Familiarity with embedded control systems, microcontrollers, and motion control algorithms.
FPGA programming experience with VHDL or related languages is a plus.
Ability to work effectively alone and within a multi-disciplined cross functional team
