Senior Electrical Design Engineer Bethlehem

Job Description

My client, which produces essential systems for data centers, industrial plants, and municipalities, is seeking an Electrical Design Engineer to create and build new technology that can sustain harsh conditions. This role designs, develops, and improves digital hardware used in embedded control platforms, blending hands-on circuit and PCB design with cross-functional collaboration, rigorous verification, and clear documentation - delivering reliable, production-ready hardware that meets specification, safety, and quality standards.

What's great about this employer?

• Be a valued contributor in a fun and collaborative work environment. This company has been formally awarded "Top Place to Work" - no surprise once you speak with the progressive senior leadership team, see the employee benefits, and consider the ongoing expansion project.
• Competitive salaries and employee benefits that exceed expectations in the general manufacturing industry, including a chef who prepares free lunches.

This company's culture is built to support that kind of result - they don't allow the phrase "that's how we've always done it."

Key Responsibilities

Circuit & PCB Design

• Create and update schematics and printed circuit boards for embedded digital control systems
• Select components, manage constraints, and drive design for manufacture (DFM) and design for test (DFT) practices
• Lead peer reviews for schematics, PCB layout, and design outputs

Digital Interfaces & Embedded Systems

• Design microcontroller I/O, logic-level signal conditioning, and serial communication buses (SPI, I²C, UART)
• Collaborate with firmware engineers to define interfaces, timing, and board bring-up

Manufacturing & Cross-Functional Support

• Plan and execute board-level validation, functional tests, and environmental/EMC testing
• Analyze test results, troubleshoot issues, and implement corrective actions to meet third-party
• Partner with manufacturing to resolve build issues and implement engineering changes
• Support release to production, including first article review and sustaining improvements

Continuous Improvement

• Drive process improvements and produce clear, production-ready documentation: BOMs, cost estimates, interface specifications
• Maintain accurate revision control and change documentation throughout the product lifecycle
• Stay current with tools, components, and standards in digital hardware design, and champion
