• Collaborate closely with multi-functional teams (manufacturing, purchasing, marketing, vendors, and customers) to ensure seamless system integration.
• Serve as a project technical lead, coordinating engineering activities and communicating project status and challenges.
• Conduct simulations and PCB layout using tools like Altium Designer.
• Support projects from concept through prototyping, validation, regulatory compliance, and manufacturing transfer.
• Ensure all designs and documentation meet internal quality standards and external regulatory requirements (e.g., EMC, RoHS, CE, UL, CSA, ATEX).

Who You Are:

You experiment with a wide range of existing technologies while applying new and emerging options that can enhance organizational outcomes. You facilitate an open dialogue with a wide variety of contributors and stakeholders. You pursue everything with energy, drive, and the need to finish.

For This Role, You Will Need:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related engineering field.
• 7+ years of hands-on experience in electrical design, preferably within analytical instrumentation, laboratory equipment, or precision electronics.
• Strong expertise in crafting sophisticated analog and digital circuits and systems, including low-noise electronics and precision control.
• Proficient in multi-layer PCB layout and design, with preferred experience using Altium Designer.
• Solid understanding of PCB thermal management, EMC/EMI compliance, and mitigation techniques.
• Experience with temperature controllers, microcontrollers, data acquisition systems, and embedded systems, including firmware-hardware integration.
• Familiarity with discrete component selection and verification, and communication protocols such as QSPI, SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, Ethernet (including PHY), USB, PCIe, and LPDDR4.
• Proven problem-solving skills, with experience debugging and validating sophisticated electrical systems.
• Willingness and ability to travel up to 10% internationally and domestically.
• Legal authorization to work in the United States.

Preferred Qualifications That Set You Apart:

• Understanding of high-gain transimpedance amplifier design
• Knowledge of IPC standards related to PCB manufacturing
