Full Job Description
Electrical Engineer will assume the role as a technical leader and be given the reigns to develop innovative solutions to challenging problems across a wide variety of industries with applications on earth and outer space.

The Role

The primary responsibility of the Electrical Engineer requires you to take full ownership of a problem and think like a systems engineer as you work closely alongside mechanical, software, embedded, and controls engineers.

Key Responsibilities
  • Full life cycle development of hardware and electronics starting from initial system architecting and concepts all the way through design, analysis, prototype, testing, qualification, and deployment
  • Perform and document analyses on projects, including hand calcs, circuit simulations, and CAD.
  • Design circuitry, PCBs, embedded, and high-level electrical system architectures
  • Write embedded code (microcontrollers, drivers, communication systems, PLCs)
  • Collaborate with stake holders across disciplines to satisfy electrical requirements for mechanical hardware and control systems
  • Troubleshooting and diagnosis of electrical system problems including EMI / EMC issues with the ability to provide data driven solutions to make the system more robust
  • Lead design reviews internally and externally with customers
  • Communicate frequently and effectively with team members
  • Be responsible for deadlines, technically excellent, and accountable for your work
  • Constantly strive to improve your own technical skills, company processes, and be willing to both teach and learn from your peers
  • Travel when required to support hardware assembly, testing, and integration
  • Other duties as assigned.
