Senior Electrical Engineer

Teal's electrical engineers are responsible for their designs from conception to sustaining. As a Senior Electrical Engineer you are responsible for multiple subsystems under the guidance of a project lead engineer, or you may be responsible for one type of subsystem used in multiple concurrent projects. You are a subject-matter expert in at least three technologies critical to UAVs. You are proficient in all aspects of the design process and can work effectively with counterparts in other disciplines such as mechanical engineering and firmware development to maximize the chances of first-pass success. You have a deep sense of ownership in your work. You are experienced with design-for-test (DFT), design-for-manufacturing (DFM), and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and can be relied upon to incorporate these concepts into your designs. Essential Duties And Responsibilities Serve as primary engineer responsible for multiple subsystems within a design or a single subsystem incorporated into multiple, possibly concurrently running, projects Design subsystems that are incorporated into larger designs Serve as a subject-matter expert in at least three technologies critical to UAVs Design high complexity PCBAs that incorporate design-for-test (DFT), design-for-manufacturing (DFM), and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) best practices to maximize the probability of first-pass success Drive EMI/EMC compliance testing Conduct trade studies to evaluate new technologies that may be incorporated into Teal’s designs Write Engineering Verification Test (EVT) procedures Execute Engineering Verification Test (EVT) procedures and write reports documenting EVT test results Troubleshoot issues uncovered in EVT, DVT, and reported by customers in the field Estimate the level of effort in engineering hours and total duration of tasks assigned to you to help refine your lead engineer’s and project manager’s schedule Lead design reviews of your work and participate in design reviews for others Perform PCB layout as needed and work with both internal and external layout resources Work with manufacturing test engineers to develop production line tests by leveraging the engineering validation test procedures and results Guide sustaining engineering on existing designs to manage cost and component obsolescence as needed Maintain an accurate electrical bill of materials (BOM) in the product lifecycle management (PLM) system Required Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering 9+ years’ experience owning designs from concept through production, leading multi-subsystem development and ensuring first-pass success through cross-functional collaboration with mechanical and firmware teams. Solid understanding of PCB manufacturing technology Proficiency in defining a PCB stackup that minimizes cost while still achieving excellent EMI/EMC performance Proficiency with high-density interconnect (HDI) PCB technologies Solid understanding of PCBA manufacturing technology Solid understanding of how to use different type of electrical components depending on a design’s operating requirements Good working knowledge of at least 3 key drone technologies (e.g., Brushless DC Motor Drive, Inertial sensors, GPS, Lithium-Ion batteries, Camera Interfaces, Radio modules) Proficiency in use of laboratory test equipment Excellent communication skills in writing reports and corresponding with manufacturers Proficiency in Altium Designer Proficiency with a SPICE-based circuit simulator or a signal/power integrity design tool (SI/PI) Solid understanding electrical signal propagation Experience using a programming language to automate testing, interface with test equipment, and process and visualize test results (Python is preferred) Physical Requirements And Working Conditions Must be able to walk, stand, and navigate large indoor and outdoor facilities for extended periods of time. Ability to lift, carry, and move materials and equipment weighing up to 25 lbs on a regular basis. Use of personal protective equipment (PPE) may be required in designated areas or when performing specific tasks, in accordance with safety protocols and company policy. May be required to climb ladders, stoop, kneel, or crouch during inspections, maintenance walk-throughs, or emergency response situations. Regular exposure to facility operations including noise, dust, temperature fluctuations, and industrial equipment. Occasional off-hours or weekend work required for emergency facility responses or projects as needed Requires frequent use of a computer and other standard office equipment for documentation, communication, and coordination tasks.
