Trillium is looking for an Electrical Design Engineering Technician in Libertyville!

This Direct-Hire opportunity is with a custom manufacturer. The qualified candidate will be the hands-on technical resource in the engineering group, the person who keeps photometric data, LED driver programming, and electrical documentation accurate from product development through production.

The ideal candidate is a detail-driven electrical troubleshooter who likes variety: photometric testing one day, a production issue the next, and a returned-fixture investigation after that. If you take ownership of your processes and keep your documentation airtight, this is your kind of role.

• Help design engineers build and test prototypes and certification samples, and document what you find
• Build and maintain the centralized wiring schematic library covering the entire product portfolio, so production and technical support can find the right diagram fast
• Serve as the lead engineering resource on RMA investigations of returned luminaires and drivers, identifying failure modes and root causes and recommending corrective and preventive action
