Senior Engineer

The Electronics Hardware team within the Technology and Breakthrough Innovation group is seeking a Senior Engineer with in-depth technical expertise in analog circuit design, including high precision analog/other circuits used in signal conditioning and processing. Responsibilities Design high precision analog circuits used for signal conditioning and processing, including filters, amplifiers, ADC, DAC, power supply and other circuits as required Design, model, simulate, test and troubleshoot analog, digital, mixed-signal, and power supply circuits Prepare design specifications based on product requirements (sometimes rudimentary), DFMEA, test plans, test reports and all necessary documentation to capture the design choices and tradeoffs effectively and clearly Perform research on customer needs and ‘connect-the-dots’ with technology to recommend new product ideas Prepare new and innovative concepts and ‘pitch’ the ideas to all interested stakeholders Work with multi-disciplinary teams to identify and incubate new product concepts Qualifications BS degree in Electrical Engineering required. MS degree in Electrical Engineering preferred. 10+ years’ experience with and analog, digital, and power circuits. Some experience with embedded systems is preferred. Experienced in sensor technologies and low level analog instrumentation in a noisy electrical environment Experience in applying precision analog signal chain components (amplifiers, ADCs, other) on mixed-signal boards: power and ground distribution, analog and digital signal routing, input protection Experience in precision analog signal chain analysis: error budget, dynamic range, analog and digital filters, component tolerances Working knowledge of component reliability (FIT, MTBF, derating) is preferred Knowledge of risk assessment and mitigation, and DFM/DFT techniques Knowledge of other electrical engineering disciplines such as transmission lines and RF circuits is preferred Knowledge or experience in designing digital and power circuits, high-speed circuit layout, energy storage and motion control, H-bridge circuitry, and various power circuit topologies such as buck, boost, buck-boost, flyback, SEPIC and variant topologies, is preferred Experience with high voltage/high power electronics is desirable Expertise in P-Spice and other modeling /simulation tools; should be able to mentor others Working knowledge of MATLAB is preferred Proficiency with relevant lab instrumentation (scopes, DMMs, logic analyzers, network analyzers, phase meters, other) Must be self-motivated, well organized, and productive with minimal direct supervision Excellent verbal and written communications skills and must be able to present to large audiences with varying degrees of technical backgrounds Relevant Experience Required 10+ years’ experience designing analog, digital and power circuits with in-depth expertise in analog circuits #J-18808-Ljbffr
