  • Collaborate with the product development team to design for testability, review requirements, develop qualification plans, and transition products to the manufacturing stage
  • Design, lay out, assemble, and test printed circuit boards (PCBs) for a wide array of applications and equipment
  • Develop and maintain data acquisition systems, automated test scripts, and GUIs using Python, LabVIEW, PLC, Visual Studio, and/or C/C++
  • Program microcontrollers to interface with various peripherals utilizing common communication protocols
  • Design and execute the mechanical integration and physical fabrication of custom test fixtures

Position Requirements
  • BS in Electrical Engineering with a minimum GPA of 3.3 or AAS in Electrical Engineering Technology with industry experience
  • Internship experience required for entry level candidates
  • Hands-on experience with test equipment and lab instruments (oscilloscopes, digital multimeters (DMMs), etc.)
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced production environment
  • A constructive mindset for systematic debugging and root cause analysis of circuits and firmware
  • Proficient technical documentation skills
  • Excellent professional communication and collaboration skills
  • Knowledge of electronic components and power supplies including how to vet them for various applications
  • Working knowledge of manufacturing standards (IPC) and regulatory compliance (UL, ETL, FCC, MIL) is a plus
  • Familiarity with the National Electrical Code (NEC) standards is a plus
  • Knowledge of CAD software desired
  • United States Citizenship required due to US Government ITAR program restrictions
