About the Role

Join world-class experts in finding answers to our customers’ toughest questions as our Senior Electrical Engineer I. This role will help drive the development of multiple technology-based solutions to engineering and commercial problems, drawing from disciplines including systems, optics, mechanical, electrical, and software engineering.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and test new solutions to meet customer requirements and specifications for imaging, spectral sensing, and color measurement applications using multidisciplinary engineering experience.
• Develop prototypes of new opportunities that align customer needs to the business's strengths and benefits in collaboration with commercial and applications teams.
• Design custom PCBs and overall electrical architecture for complex systems.
• Prototype, assemble, test, and troubleshoot complex systems.
• Develop hands-on expertise in hardware, spectroscopy, imaging, and software.
• Conduct thorough failure analysis, providing documentation and recommendations for corrective actions.
• Mentor and provide guidance to more junior colleagues or those from other disciplines.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience (or 3+ years for an M.S. or higher degree).
• Expertise in digital electronics circuit design, including component selection and supply chain management.
• Expertise in cable design and routing, especially for multi-board systems.
• Demonstrated experience designing electrical systems, considering power calculations, system voltage, signal distribution, and manufacturability.
• Proven ability to lead electrical design projects from customer requirements, including hardware architecture, implementation, integration, and testing.
• Proficient with Altium Designer or similar software, with a deep understanding of schematic capture and PCB layout and routing (up to 8-layers).
• Experience with high-speed signal routing and impedance-matching techniques for buses.
• Experience routing at least some of these buses: gigabit Ethernet, USB, SPI, and I²C.
• Proficient in hands-on work with hardware for board bring-up, troubleshooting, and resolving issues during early development stages.
• Ability to conduct thorough failure analysis in the event of issues, providing documentation and recommendations for corrective actions.
• Proficient with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and similar tools for diagnosing issues.
• Demonstrated experience collaborating with mechanical engineers to ensure seamless hardware integration in compact designs.
• Experience ensuring designs comply with industrial certifications (e.g., CE, UL) and guiding the certification process.
• Experience with electrical modeling and simulation tools (such as LTSpice).
• Programming experience in C/C++ in embedded microcontroller environments.
• Capable of working independently and solving problems without constant oversight.
• Good interpersonal skills, innovation, and the ability to motivate, inspire, and influence.
