Electrical Hardware Engineer - TalentZok

OVERVIEW

Are you looking for a new career opportunity with an exciting company?! Then we've got the right team for you! In this role, you're responsible for the duties listed below.

Immediate opening for an Electrical Hardware Engineer in San Diego, CA who possesses:

• Master's degree in electrical engineering (bachelor's would be considered)
• 2+ years of industry experience
• Strong experience or fundamental understanding of analog design
• Sensor experience is preferred

FULL DESCRIPTION:The primary role of the Electrical Hardware Engineer will be to help upgrade the Electrical Hardware in the company's product line and the associated test and validation equipment. This role will require expertise and execution on the detailed sub‐system level, and on the broader systems‐level perspective. This will include design specification, design analysis, prototype testing and validation, in‐house characterization and validation, directing final product manufacture, and release to clients both internal and external. To accomplish this, the Electrical Hardware Engineer will have to communicate effectively in order to relay his or her expertise to a very multidisciplinary group of Mechanical, Embedded Software, and Test Engineers. The Electrical Hardware Engineer will need to effectively explain his or her Electrical Hardware perspective to team members less familiar with the topics, while also understanding and integrating the expertise brought to bear by the other engineering disciplines. Additional tasks may include hardware‐interface level development of embedded software in the C language, meeting with customers and suppliers to communicate design requirements, applications engineering of customer installations, and failure analysis.

The selected candidate will also be responsible for:

• Design circuits to meet instrumentation‐grade requirements. Typical circuit design flow will include the following: SPICE simulation, lab testing, PCB design, performance validation, and overseeing manufacture (by outside vendors) and calibration (in‐house) of PCBs in production
• Design, develop, and improve upon infrastructure for sensor processing, testing, and calibration. Examples include test and calibration equipment used for magnetic field sensors and associated signal conditioning electronics, electromechanical magnetizing equipment, and torque testing benches
• Collaborate with other engineers to develop and release the latest updates to magnetoelastic torque sensor product lines in the form of highly accurate and robust signal Last Updated: Mon‐10‐Apr‐2023 conditioning circuits for magnetic field measurement able to survive in thermally and electromagnetically harsh environments
• Design and release the latest updates to magnetoelastic torque sensor product lines in the form of additional output signal formats such as CAN FD, ModBus, or UART
• Analyze and professionally document laboratory testing results, dyno testing results, and track data pertaining to systems and/or components described above
• Travel to client sites around the world including but not limited to Europe, Japan, and the US, to monitor system installation and provide field support at dyno tests, track test, and races as required
• Hand‐assemble and modify Electrical Hardware that ranges from surface mount microelectronics to server rack electrical enclosures
• Write software in a variety of languages (LabView, Python, C) to support test and development infrastructure or new driver initial proofs‐of‐concept

The selected candidate will also possess:

• Strong and intuitive understanding of analog, mixed signal, and signal processing fundamentals
• Strong understanding of analog filtering, digital filtering, electromagnetics, and control systems
• Ability to complete circuit analysis by hand quickly and accurately
• Understanding of typical circuit design issues and component non‐idealities
• Familiarity with systems modeling tools (e.g. SPICE, Matlab)
• Experience with complete hardware development life cycles including:
  • Requirement definition, design, development, integration, testing, and support
• Experience with schematic capture and PCB design (e.g. Altium)
• Familiarity with capturing and reading Electrical Hardware documentation including:
  • Wiring diagrams, bills of materials, and wiring tables
• Ability to multi‐task and re‐prioritize as needed based on external factors
• Strong understanding of design constraints in size‐limited and harsh environments
• Familiarity with peripheral components including EEPROM and serial transceivers
• Strong problem‐solving, debugging, and root cause analysis skills
• Effective communication with team members of varying disciplines, including non‐engineers
• Ability to work effectively in a fast‐paced, multidisciplinary environment
• Experience using 3D CAD software (e.g. Solidworks) helpful but not required
• Proficiency in writing and thoroughly debugging C code helpful but not required

Salary: $90k-$100k/yr
