Key Responsibilities

• Create detailed electrical schematics for embedded electronic control hardware. This is a core responsibility of the role.
• Lead the electrical design of embedded hardware from concept through production.
• Design analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuits for microcontroller-based control systems, including power supplies, sensor interfaces, relay/triac drivers, and communication circuits.
• Select electronic components and define PCB layout requirements.
• Review PCB layouts to ensure functionality, reliability, thermal performance, manufacturability, and EMC performance.
• Perform feasibility studies, engineering calculations, cost analyses, and technical risk assessments.
• Build, test, troubleshoot, and refine prototype hardware.
• Develop and execute hardware verification and validation testing, including performance, environmental, reliability, and compliance testing.
• Participate in design reviews, FMEA activities, root cause analysis, and corrective action efforts.
• Collaborate with firmware, mechanical, manufacturing, test, quality, and operations teams throughout product development, product launch, and sustaining engineering.
• Support existing products through product improvements, component changes, cost reduction initiatives, and production issue resolution.
• Provide technical guidance and mentor junior engineers.

Required Qualifications

• Must have proven experience creating electrical schematics for embedded electronic hardware. Candidates without hands-on schematic design experience will not be considered.
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical discipline.
