Effective problem-solving skills to troubleshoot equipment and processes.

Able to lead technical teams by creating project plans, overseeing the hardware development process, setting milestones, and ensuring timely delivery.

Ability to design printed circuit boards (PCBs) for embedded systems while factoring cost reductions, design for manufacturability, and automated test.

High proficiency in PCB design tools, such as Altium, required.

Knowledge of techniques to ensure good signal integrity and to address EMI/EMC challenges in custom PCBA designs.

Proficiency in designing for high-speed signals, considering factors such as impedance matching, to minimize signal degradation.

Familiarity with PCB manufacturing applications required.

Able to generate hardware test plans for Accelerated Life Testing (ALT) of custom-designed electronics and digital displays.

Familiar with FMEA techniques and their application to electronic products.

Proficiency in programming languages such as C/C++ and assembly for embedded systems.

Experience with embedded systems development tools, debuggers, and software development kits (SDKs).

Strong understanding of embedded systems architecture, real-time operating systems, and microcontrollers/microprocessors.

Proficient in using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other hardware debugging tools.

Knowledge of relevant industry standards and regulations for custom PCBA designs, ensuring compliance with safety, quality, and regulatory requirements.

Experience with version control systems, such as SVN, for source code management.

Some 3D modeling experience in SolidWorks recommended.

Proficient with Microsoft Office tools (PowerPoint, Excel, Word, Teams, etc.)

Knowledge of Microsoft Project, AX and Bluestar is a plus.

Education & Experience

BS Electrical Engineering (or equivalent) from an accredited school required. MS Electrical Engineering preferred.

Minimum 8+ years in electronics engineering field.

Experience in project management preferred.Company Description
