Electrical Engineer II

Job Responsibilities:

• Work within a global collaborative R&;D team to create and improve printed circuit board designs using Cadence design systems (Allegro). (Other design systems are considered for this role.)
• Release projects to manufacturing by creating schematic design capture, new part numbers, detailed descriptions, and printed board assemblies (BOM structures) for new and legacy products or projects.
• Work within the Windchill PDM application tool to store fabrication documentation, schematics, gerber files etc.
• Resolve differences between design and fabrication requirements by making determinations such as modifying designs versus sending parts back to vendors
• Attend regular team meetings, including engineering change order meetings in support of manufacturing &; quality assurance analysis and correction of manufacturing defects.
• Work collaboratively with other engineering resources, project management, purchasing etc. and assist in applying core engineering concepts to solve complex, unfamiliar, and novel problems.
• Expected to work with minimal assistance, with an ability to suggest innovative solutions from streamlining processes to completing a backlog of tasks.
• Maintain product and company reputation by complying with applicable regulations and standards.

Skills:

• Good understanding of control electronic Products, specifically analog and digital circuits, and power electronics circuits with 8-10 years of experience.
• Ability to lead PCB specs release in qualification and in PDM.
• Support qualification of electronic components such as IGBTs, Magnetics, Thyristors, AC/DC capacitors, FAN’s, etc.
• Knowledge of test equipment, CRO, AC Source, DC Source, Auto transformers, Multimeters, Data loggers.
• Ability to design and implement PCB designs that meet electrical, EMC, Safety, mechanical, thermal and DFA/DFM requirements of the System.
• Ability to run independent tests, with good knowledge in basic troubleshooting of products.
• Ability to generate alternate solutions during feasibility studies during PCB modifications.
• Prior experience working with design packages and product Lifecyle Management (PLM) tools is required (more specifically Allegro and Windchill PDM or similar type processes)
• Ability to work cross-functionally (i.e. with Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing/Industrial Engineering, Project Management) is strongly desired.
• Detail Oriented: Able to accurately follow precise procedures and thoroughly complete assigned tasks by using strong follow-up skills.

Education/Experience:

• 4 Year bachelor’s degree in electrical or Electronic Engineering.
• Knowledge of Ladder Logic GE Proficy Software or Modicon Control Expert Software would be ideal.
