Job Summary
For more than 65 years weve turned big ideas into solutions that help protect homes strengthen businesses and build a more resilient efficient sustainable energy future.
Ready to Power a Smarter World with us
Generac Home is hiring for a Senior Electronics Design this role as part of the Home Interconnects & Interconnect Controls teamyou will be responsible forinterconnecting sources and loads across Generacs product portfolio. We owncontrolsand hardware that tie generators energy storage transfer switches load-management devices and metering together into a coordinated home energy system.
As a Senior Electronics Design Engineer you will own and drive the board architecture for ourinterconnectproducts-from power-conversion metering and control architecture through verification and production. This is an ownership role not a pure execution one: you will set technical direction make the architecture and component-selection decisions and partner closely with firmware mechanical manufacturing and test engineering to bring robust cost-effective products to market.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities:
Own and design and validate analog digital and mixed-signal circuits for power conversion power management embedded control communications sensor interfaces and precision AC voltage current and power measurement including revenue-grade metering and calibration.
Perform schematic capturecomponentselection simulation PCB design reviews and hardware debugging.
Apply functional safety and safety-critical design principles throughout including DFMEA and compliance with standards such as UL 991.
Drive Design for Excellence (DFx)-Manufacturability test reliability and cost.
Support manufacturing and production at scale-resolving production issues and root-causing hardware failures across development validation manufacturing and the field.
Work with suppliers to evaluate components and resolve technical issues.
Collaborate with firmware mechanical manufacturing quality and test engineering to deliver robust cost-effective products.
Mentor engineers and provide technical leadership through design reviews design standards and architecture decisions.
Minimum Qualifications:
Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering Electronics Engineering orrelateddiscipline.
5 years of experience in mixed-signal electronic hardware design&product development.
Experience designing products through full product development cycles and into production.
Hands-on experience with power-conversion design (AC-DC and/or DC-DC) and microcontroller-based embedded control systems.
Demonstrated experience owning and driving board-level architecture-defining partitioning interfaces and design tradeoffs-not solely executing schematic and layout to a given spec.
Knowledge of AC voltage current and power measurement including revenue-grade metering and the associated accuracy and calibration considerations.
Experience with schematic capture and PCB layout review
Experience debugging complex electronic systems using oscilloscopes logic analyzers and other laboratory equipment.
Preferred Qualifications:
Masters or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline.
7 years of experience developing electronic products for high volume manufacturing.
Experience with a range of communication protocols (CAN UART SPI I²C Ethernet USB) and related hardware.
Experience with hardware validation reliability testing and regulatory compliance.
Familiarity with simulation tools for analog power and signal integrity analysis.
Experience with Design for Manufacturability (DFM) Design for Test (DFT) Design for Reliability (DFR) and Design for Cost (DFC).
Familiarity with automated test development and fault injection techniques.
Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills and the ability to work effectively on cross functional teams.
Experience with renewable energy battery systems power electronics or RF design is strongly preferred given the residential energy focus of our products.
