Electrical Hardware Engineer
Norton Shores, MI - USA
Job Summary
the schematics layouts and documentation that support their products throughout their lifecycle.
The culture is built on five core values: Own It Lift Others Build Together Do the Right Thing and Raise the Bar. Teams take full ownership of their work from concept through production release collaborating closely across mechanical electrical optical firmware test manufacturing and quality disciplines to deliver integrated manufacturable products. Work is hands-on and practical and engineers build test and refine real products side by side supporting one another and raising the standard on every build.
- Design analog and digital circuits for LED lighting products including LED drivers power conversion signal conditioning and control interfaces
- Create schematics and PCB layouts applying sound practices for signal integrity thermal performance and EMC
- Select components and define circuit architecture with documented rationale on cost availability and lifecycle
- Apply thermal analysis and thermal management techniques for high-output LED systems
- Build bring up and debug prototypes hands-on at the bench; conduct design validation testing
- Perform failure analysis and root cause investigation on prototype pilot and field-returned units
- Design to safety and regulatory standards (UL CE FCC); support compliance packages and certification testing
- Develop BOMs work instructions and manufacturing documentation for new and revised designs
- Collaborate cross-functionally with mechanical firmware optical test and manufacturing teams
- Document test plans validation reports and engineering records in a clear repeatable format
- Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering highly preferred
- 3 years of electrical hardware design experience concept through production release
- Proficiency in PCB CAD tools (Altium Eagle KiCad or OrCAD) for schematic capture and PCBA layout
- Working knowledge of LED technology LED drivers and switch-mode power supplies (or comparable analog/power electronics)
- Experience with thermal analysis and thermal management in electronic assemblies
- Proficiency with lab equipment: oscilloscopes power supplies electronic loads DMMs thermal imaging
- Skilled in soldering and circuit assembly including fine-pitch and surface-mount rework
- Circuit troubleshooting failure analysis and EMC/EMI compliance design practices
- Analytical circuit calculation skills (power dissipation thermal derating tolerance/worst-case) using Mathcad MATLAB Python or similar
- Strong verbal/written communication; self-directed and able to manage multiple priorities
