Posted on: May 28, 2023

Job Description:

Primary Responsibilities:

Conduct and perform advanced engineering research, design
and development work on assigned projects, either individually or as a team
participant. - Direct and coordinated
assigned engineering activities required to determine customer needs and requirements
relative to products manufactured by the company with an emphasis on electronic
controls, embedded systems, and PCB design. Develop and train less senior
engineers by mentoring them and reviewing their tasks and projects.





Duties:

• 
  
• Act as project manager for assigned projects.
  
• Create designs of custom embedded
  systems including schematic capture and bill of material creation which will
  require the selection of appropriate electronic components
  (passive/active), integrated circuits, and microcontrollers.
  
• Focus on new components, processes, and
  techniques to provide direction to the engineering team for future new
  product development.
  
• Package designs into printed circuit
  board (PCB) layouts and off-the-shelf or custom enclosures that may be
  developed in coordination with mechanical engineering.
  
• Plan, outline and write embedded
  microcontroller code, primarily in ANSI C, and PC code in Visual Studio
  and/or LabVIEW.
  
• Create functional and design validation
  test plans and processes.
  
• Assist and supervise internal and external
  test labs with all validation test requirements and use expertise to
  mitigate any impact of testing obstacles to overall design timeline for
  your projects and those of other engineers.
  
• Conduct, develop, and participate in
  design planning and design review including DFMEAs for your projects and
  those of other engineers.
  
• Assist manufacturing with creating or
  approving necessary documentation for a smooth production launch including
  process reviews, control plans, PFMEAs, test processes/procedure creation,
  and ERP database requirements such as production routing instructions and
  multilevel BOMs.
  
• Support manufacturing and other
  engineers throughout product life cycle as required due to issues with
  part obsolescence/availability or fixture maintenance/calibration.
  
• Assist customers with technical issues
  observed in the field or during integration of products.
  
• Provide feedback and work to develop
  less senior engineer's skillset and abilities.
