It is a hands-on opportunity within a fast-growing, innovative team, where expertise in power electronics, PCB design, and hardware validation directly shapes product design and reliability. The Senior Electrical Product Development Engineer is a proactive problem solver who thrives in an entrepreneurial environment, driving electrical design from R&D through production release.
Responsibilities
- Design electrical circuits and PCBs for LED drivers, control systems, and power electronics.
- Utilize Altium Designer for PCB layouts and maintain all ECAD data.
- Develop early-phase R&D prototypes and proof-of-concept designs.
- Create, execute, and document hardware validation plans.
- Support UL certification on new product development.
- Drive continuous product improvements and iteration through field analysis and root cause investigation.
- Design and implement production test fixtures for PCBA validation at volume.
- Manage assigned projects end-to-end, maintaining timelines, escalating risks, and communicating status proactively.
- Own BOM accuracy for assigned products and verify components against design requirements.
- Validate incoming parts and assemblies against design specifications.
- Manage component alternate approvals and proactively qualify alternates.
- Support internal SMT/PCBA process as a technical expert.
- Perform forensic analysis of electrical field returns and internal defects, driving corrective actions.
- Partner with manufacturing on first-run production builds.
- Establish electrical test methods and procedures.
- Provide technical guidance to Sales and Support teams as needed.
- Live and reinforce G&G core values.
- Contribute as a key member of the G&G Engineering team, fostering a culture of problem solving and continuous improvement.
- Provide guidance and mentorship to junior engineering team members.
Requirements
- Alignment with G&G Core Values.
- Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, or equivalent demonstrated experience in power electronics design and PCB development.
- Relevant years of hands-on experience designing switching power supplies, LED drivers, or similar power electronics products.
- Proficiency in Altium Designer for schematic capture and PCB layout, or similar software.
- Strong lab skills including oscilloscope, bench power supply, DMM, and independent circuit-level hardware debugging.
- Experience working through UL certification (1598, 8750, or similar) is a plus.
- Familiarity with EMC testing methodologies (conducted/radiated immunity, IEC 61000 series) is a plus.
- Embedded firmware experience (C, Python, or similar) is a plus.
- Experience with industrial LED lighting products or three-phase power systems is a strong plus.
