Electrical Engineer

Job Description Summary

Job Description

Duties and Responsibilities

• Perform electrical hardware development and design verification for new laboratory automation systems and sub-systems under general supervision contributing to the definition of module interfaces and the electrical architecture

• Support in-house PCBA bring-up and prototype builds including firmware development documenting test plans and conducting first article testing

• Integrate and troubleshoot complex electro-mechanical subsystems down to the component level (e.g. stepper/servo motors sensors fluidic pumps load cells)

• Execute electrical DFMEAs and risk assessments making recommendations for mitigation strategies to ensure user safety and system reliability

• Present technical recommendations at design reviews regarding manufacturability (DFM) serviceability and obsolescence to support lifecycle management

• Ensure designs meet relevant safety standards (e.g. IEC 61010 CE UL) and support EMC/EMI testing activities

Knowledge and Qualifications

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Electrical Engineering Mechatronics or a related engineering discipline with 2-6 years of relevant experience in mixed-signal electrical design preferably within an automation or instrumentation environment

• Ability to translate system/circuit performance needs into component specifications driven by datasheets and application notes ensuring an optimal balance of performance cost and obsolescence

• Mixed-signal design expertise including schematic capture PCB layout (Altium/KiCad) circuit simulation (LTspice/QSpice) and high-speed digital interface design with signal integrity principles including CAN Ethernet USB PCIe and HDMI

• Experience across the mechatronic stack including hardware design embedded platforms (MCUs such as STM32 FPGA/CPLD SOMs) and firmware development (C/C Python) for test and automation

• Strong debugging and validation skills using lab equipment (oscilloscope DMM spectrum analyzer) including prototype builds PCB rework and troubleshooting

• Hands-on experience designing systems involving motion control (motors drivers) data acquisition (ADC sensors signal conditioning) and fluidics (pumps solenoids)

• Experience taking designs from concept through low-to-mid volume manufacturing including production support validation and test fixture development

• Experience with power management design (DC-DC converters LDO regulators protection circuits)

• Familiarity with medical device industry standards (IEC 61326-1 IEC 61010) including EMC/EMI testing troubleshooting and certification support
