About the Role

This position provides an opportunity to transition from other private, public, government or military experience to a 3M career. As a Product Development Engineer, you will have the opportunity to tap into your curiosity and collaborate with some of the most innovative people around the world.

Responsibilities

• Lead the design and development of next-generation electronic locating & marking system architectures for buried asset applications.
• Lead the design and development of next-generation field deployed sensor and automation hardware system architectures.
• Design analog, digital and mixed-signal circuits, including sensor signal conditioning and data-acquisition front ends.
• Design power electronics and power-distribution circuits, including motor-drive, DC-DC and protection circuitry.
• Integrate embedded processors/microcontrollers, connectivity and industrial I/O (e.g., EtherCAT) into board-level designs.
• Select and specify electronic components, balancing performance, cost, availability, and manufacturability.
• Design for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC/EMI), signal integrity and power integrity, and support regulatory compliance (CE, UL, FCC).
• Interact with regulatory teams to ensure compliance with applicable standards.
• Collaborate closely with firmware, software, mechanical and systems engineers, and with manufacturing, suppliers, contract manufacturers and PCB fabricators, to scale designs into production.
• Drive product architecture, feasibility studies, prototyping, and engineering verification activities.
• Generate intellectual property positions, including invention submissions, patents and 3M trade secrets.
• Communicate tests and other program results to internal and external stakeholders.
• Drive the development and commercialization of products to efficiently, reliably and sustainably deliver energy to customers around the world.
• Comply with corporate policies, procedures and security standards while performing assigned duties.
• Contribute to a strong Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) culture by following safety policies, identifying hazards, and engaging in continuous improvement.
