Electrical Engineer (Analog) or EE I and/or II

Job Description

Job Description

The OpportunityBuild hardware that matters-right here in Tampa Bay.Custom Manufacturing & Engineering (CME) is seeking an Electrical Engineer I or Electrical Engineer II – Analog to design, develop, test, and support electronic hardware used in aerospace, defense, space, industrial, and energy applications.We're open to two levels of experience. This opportunity may be filled as an Electrical Engineer I for an early-career engineer ready to develop strong hands-on design skills, or as an Electrical Engineer II for an engineer who can bring additional experience and take greater ownership of circuit design, troubleshooting, and technical execution.Either way, this is a hands-on engineering role.At CME, you won't be limited to one small piece of a large program. You'll have opportunities to design circuits, simulate ideas, prototype hardware, work at the bench, troubleshoot problems, collaborate with manufacturing, and see designs progress toward finished products.If you want to build your aerospace and defense engineering career in the Tampa Bay area while staying close to the hardware, we'd like to hear from you.What You Will Do Depending on your experience and level, you will:Design and develop analog and mixed-signal circuits for power, sensing, signal conditioning, control, and mission-critical systemsDevelop and evaluate circuits involving components such as op amps, filters, power supplies, converters, sensors, and control circuitryPerform schematic capture and support PCB design and developmentUse SPICE, LTspice, OrCAD, or similar engineering tools to simulate, analyze, validate, and refine designsBuild, prototype, test, and troubleshoot electronic hardware in the labUse oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, function generators, and other test equipment to characterize circuit performanceAnalyze test results, identify root causes, and implement design improvementsSelect electronic components based on electrical requirements, performance, availability, reliability, and application needsWork with suppliers and technical vendors to identify components and engineering solutionsCollaborate with mechanical, software, manufacturing, quality, and test personnel throughout the product lifecycleDevelop schematics, specifications, test procedures, technical reports, and other engineering documentationSupport designs from concept and prototype through verification, manufacturing, and productionParticipate in design reviews and communicate technical findings, risks, and recommendationsSupport additional engineering activities as part of CME's collaborative, hands-on engineering team  What You Bring Electrical Engineer IThis level is designed for a recent graduate or early-career electrical engineer who has a strong technical foundation and wants to develop practical engineering experience.You should bring:Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering0–2 years of relevant electrical engineering experienceGPA of 3.0 or higher preferredAcademic, internship, co-op, research, military technical, senior design, or project experience involving analog electronicsFoundational knowledge of analog circuit design, including areas such as op amps, filters, power supplies, sensing, and signal conditioningFamiliarity with schematic capture and circuit simulation tools such as OrCAD, SPICE, LTspice, or similarHands-on experience with common electronics laboratory equipmentAbility to read and interpret schematics, datasheets, drawings, and technical documentationStrong analytical and troubleshooting skillsAbility and willingness to learn from experienced engineers while progressively taking ownership of engineering assignmentsGood written and verbal communication skillsFor EE I candidates, we value demonstrated curiosity and hands-on ability as much as years of experience. Internships, senior projects, robotics, electronics projects, research, military experience, maker projects, and other practical engineering work can all demonstrate your potential.Electrical Engineer IIThis level is intended for an engineer who has developed a solid foundation in electrical engineering and is ready to take greater independent ownership of designs and technical problems.You should bring:Bachelor's degree in Electrical EngineeringTypically 2–5+ years of relevant electrical engineering experienceDemonstrated professional experience designing, analyzing, testing, and troubleshooting analog or mixed-signal electronic circuitsPractical knowledge of analog circuit design, including areas such as op amps, filters, power conversion, power supplies, sensing, signal conditioning, and control circuitryExperience using schematic capture and circuit simulation tools such as OrCAD, SPICE, LTspice, or comparable platformsStrong hands-on laboratory skills and experience debugging electronic hardwareAbility to translate system or product requirements into practical circuit-level designsExperience selecting components and evaluating technical tradeoffs involving performance, cost, reliability, availability, and manufacturabilityAbility to independently investigate technical problems, determine root causes, and develop effective solutionsExperience developing clear engineering documentation and communicating design decisionsAbility to work effectively across engineering, manufacturing, quality, suppliers, and other technical functionsAbility to manage multiple engineering assignments and drive work from concept through completionExperience with aerospace, defense, military, space, power electronics, embedded hardware, or ruggedized electronic systems is beneficial but not required.How the Levels DifferAt Electrical Engineer I, you'll work with guidance from more experienced engineers while developing your ability to independently design, analyze, test, and document electronic hardware.At Electrical Engineer II, you'll be expected to operate with greater independence, own more complex technical assignments, make and defend engineering decisions, troubleshoot difficult hardware problems, and help move designs successfully through development and production.The position and level offered will be based on the selected candidate's education, experience, technical capabilities, and demonstrated ability to perform the responsibilities of the role.  Education and Experience• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering required• GPA of 3.0 or higher preferred• Zero to two (2) years of electrical engineering experience for EE I and four plus (4+) years for EE II• Hands on exposure to analog circuit design including op amps, filters, power supplies, and signal conditioning• Comfortable working with oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, and function generators• Familiarity with schematic capture and simulation tools such as OrCAD, SPICE, or LTspiceWhy CMECME gives electrical engineers the opportunity to get close to the products they design and see the impact of their work.Here, you can:Design and build real hardware rather than working on only a small portion of a large programSupport mission-critical aerospace and defense applicationsGain experience across design, simulation, prototyping, testing, troubleshooting, manufacturing, and productionWork directly with experienced engineers and cross-functional technical teamsDevelop broad engineering capabilities and take on increasing technical responsibilityWork in an environment that values problem-solving, accountability, innovation, and continuous improvementEnjoy a schedule that includes a 4-day workweek most
