Electrical Engineer II

The Role

• The Electrical Engineer for Hardware Development will design and develop various mixed signal motion controllers and other peripherals used in next generation of high performance automated assembly equipment.
• Design challenges include small form factor, analog sensing, motion control, and mixed signal design.

What You’ll Do

• Work with engineers to provide technical collaboration.
• Individual contribution on one or more projects.

Minimum Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering; Master’s in relevant field is preferred.
• 2+ years of relevant work experience.
• Knowledge of Analog / Mixed Signal circuit design with understanding of concepts like noise, mismatch etc.

Ideal Candidate Will Demonstrate the Following

• Experience with high-precision voltage regulators, Op-amps, comparators, buck switching converters, LDOs
• Experience with design suites such as Cadence, for schematic entry, layout, and Spice simulations
• Propensity to develop, debug, verify and characterize the design of electronic, electrical and electro-mechanical circuits and integrated systems.
• Interest in hardware/firmware design using processors, FPGA, sensors, actuators, mixed signal analog and/or digital circuits via schematic entry, layout, simulation, and optimization; Design of the functional circuit is supported by analytical calculations and circuit simulation.
• Interest in hands-on design, review, prototyping, bring-up, debugging, verification and validation testing as well as manufacturing start-up support.
• Review product test methods, fixtures, and results for test efficacy and product qualification.

Skills

• Experience with PCB design software (Cadence/Allegro preferred).
• Experience with tools such as Xilinx Vivado or ISE for FPGA design
• Laboratory equipment including oscilloscopes, multimeters, data acquisition, power supplies, soldering, etc.
• Languages such as C, C++, C#, PLC Ladder Logic, and HMI design and programming.

Physical Demands:

• Requires the ability to use a computer on a frequent basis. 
• Position requires the ability to understand and interpret detailed documents and drawings.
• Ability to communicate clearly with colleagues and in giving presentations. 
• The ability to travel to other company sites may occasionally be required <10%.
