Electrical Engineer

Electrical EngineerEos Energy Enterprises, Inc. is accelerating the shift to American energy independence with positively ingenious solutions that transform how the world stores power. Our breakthrough Znyth™ aqueous zinc battery was designed to overcome the limitations of conventional lithium-ion technology. It is safe, scalable, efficient, sustainable, manufactured in the U.S., and the core of our innovative systems that today provides utility, industrial, and commercial customers with a proven, reliable energy storage alternative for 3 to 12-hour applications. Eos was founded in 2008 and is headquartered in Edison, New Jersey.The Electrical Engineer is accountable for developing and designing battery management system electronics and controls for newly built energy storage systems, as well as maintaining existing designs and support the creation of automated test equipment for the product components.ResponsibilitiesBasic design and implementation of low-level circuit design with electrical isolation, microcontroller controls and analog front-endCircuit board layout with high-impedance analog signals and creepage/clearances for high voltageDesign to meet safety certification standards, such as ULPerform verification testing of electronics component and overall product designsGeneration of reports on design rationale, test methodologies, and results to support engineering reviews and product documentationMaintain project documentation and assist in creating Operation ManualsProvide technical support for manufacturing teams and field operations on released productsProvides technical guidance to engineering teams, production staff, and service personnelKnowledge, Skills, and AbilitiesKnowledge of designing and validating electrical circuit boards, including hands-on testing and performance evaluation.Ability to work in lab environment and understand how components fit into a larger systemWorking knowledge of embedded control systems and their applicationsSolid software development skills with C, C++ and optionally the Linux operating systemAbility to diagnose issues and implement design improvements for enhanced reliability and performanceFamiliarity with design for EMC and availability to trace down EMI issuesAwareness of safety certification process to standards such as ULCompetent skills with communications protocols such as TCP/IP, CAN, i²C and SPI; use of ModbusCapability to select and integrate off-the-shelf component and equipmentStrong cross-discipline system skillsUnderstanding of hardware and physical system being controlled is requiredBasic knowledge of hazard and safety protocols of high voltage equipment and other aspects of working with large-scale battery systemsAbility to self-direct to a goal and achieve independent successA team-player attitude and strong written/verbal communication skills are a mustEducation and ExperienceBachelor's degree in Electric Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Electrical Engineering Technology requiredMinimum of 2 years experience requiredAdditional ExperienceHardware and design, debug, and testing. PCB design.Minimum two years' experience designing electronics and developing automated controlsEngineering Design Software: EAGLE, IAR or similar softwareEmbedded programming, communication interfaces; I²C, RS-485, CAN bus communication, Modbus TCP, remote IO, or flex IO systems (Moxa, Allen Bradley, SEL, Advantech), PLC programming experience, GDB or other debugging tools.Linux, embedded systemsHigh voltage electrical systemsTravelOvernight/North America Travel: Less than 10%Working ConditionsOffice Environment - Must be able to remain in a stationary position 50% of the time and occasionally move about inside the office to access file cabinets, office machinery, etc. Required to have close visual acuity to perform an activity such as: preparing and analyzing data and figures; transcribing; viewing a computer terminal; extensive reading. May be required to exert up to 25 pounds of force occasionally to lift, carry, push, pull or otherwise move objects, including the human body.Factory - The worker may be subject to hazards. Includes a variety of physical conditions, such as proximity to moving mechanical parts, vibration, moving vehicles, electrical current, exposure to temperature changes or exposure to chemicals. While performing the duties of this job, the employee may be exposed to fumes, airborne particles, odors, dust, mists, and gases. The noise level in the work environment can be loud. Required to have close visual acuity to perform an activity such as: preparing and analyzing data and figures; transcribing; viewing a computer terminal; extensive reading; visual inspection involving small defects, small parts, and/or operation of machines (including inspection); using measurement devices; and/or assembly or fabrication parts at distances close to the eyes. Machinery operation requires the use of safety equipment to include but not limited to eye safety glasses, hearing protectors, work boots, and lab coats. May be required to exert up to 50 pounds of force occasionally to lift, carry, push, pull or otherwise move objects, including the human body.
