What you will do

• Design, evaluate, test, and update electronic systems, components, equipment, and subsystems for high-power light delivery products.
• Lead electrical product development from feasibility studies and prototyping through design, system integration, production release, and manufacturing support.
• Create schematics and PCB layouts for semiconductor, industrial control, LED/laser driver, power distribution, sensor, communication, and signal-processing systems using Altium Designer or another EDA tool.
• Perform simulation, characterization, process modeling, verification, troubleshooting, and failure analysis to improve performance, reliability, and cost.
• Prepare specifications, risk-management documentation, test plans, engineering reports, and design-release packages.
• Develop test fixtures and equipment, support manufacturing and customer-service teams, and collaborate with internal teams, vendors, and contractors.

Requirements

• 4–5 years of experience in electronics and electrical design, schematics, simulation, PCB layout, modeling, prototyping, and electrical-system testing.
• Post-secondary education from a recognized university with a major in Electrical or Electronic Engineering, or equivalent.
• Experience designing electronic systems and subsystems involving embedded processors, sensors, high-power laser/LED drivers, high-power distribution, thermal modeling and simulation, SMPS, and communication buses and protocols.
• Thorough understanding of mixed-signal and high-power PCB layout, signal integrity, noise reduction, and emissions reduction.
