Job Summary
CyberOptics-Nordson is a global leader in high-precision sensor technology in the areas of 3D machine vision and semiconductor process measurement. Our sensors are deployed in electronics and semiconductor factories across the planet. The device you are using to read this notice most likely contains integrated circuits inspected by our sensors during their manufacture. Our products are a tight integration of optics, electronics, embedded and application software, and algorithms.
We are looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer who will play an integral role in our R&D team designing the next generation of high precision electronics and semiconductor inspection sensors. You will be involved in this process from product conception to production. This position requires design conceptualization to meet product requirements, project planning and tracking, design implementation, test and verification to specifications, transition to production, continuation, and documentation.
Essential Job Duties and Responsibilities
- Design of electronic circuits for products that sense physical phenomenon such as capacitance, temperature, humidity, light, vibration, inclination, gases, particles, resistivity, and more.
- Experience in the amplification, signal conditioning, filtering, and digitization of low-level signals for measurement and logging.
- Design wireless low powered battery-operated support circuitry with embedded processors, FPGAs, ADCs and DACs, Bluetooth or WIFI communication, and power management.
- Ability to solve challenging problems with creative designs and processes.
- Supervision of PCB layout that packages electronics into challenging spaces and environments (temperature and vacuum) that often require high performance materials.
- Interpret internal and customer requirements and translate those into product specifications and design concepts.
- Risk reduction of design concepts through simulation, prototype testing, and feasibility studies.
- Project planning requiring the estimation of tasks, resources, schedules, NRE, production costs, and manufacturing support.
- Manage suppliers that fabricate prototype and production electrical designs.
- Design verification testing of designs to product specifications.
- Ability to design products to meet CE and other international compliance requirements.
Education and Experience Requirements
- MS Electrical Engineering degree preferred, or BS considered with additional experience.
- 5+ Years work experience desired.
- Experienced in the design of Data Acquisition and analog circuitry that measures physical properties for the purpose of datalogging or real time reporting via a Bluetooth or WIFI radio.
- Low power embedded processor or FPGA Hardware Design experience.
- Digital filtering and signal processing in DSP or FPGA hardware.
- Verilog or VHDL experience.
- Experience with high-speed digital designs and communication protocols.
- Analog and Digital Simulation skills with tools like Spice or MATLAB.
- Lithium-Ion batteries, Qi wireless charging, power management, and fuel gauge estimation.
- High efficiency low-noise power supply design.
- Photodiode, Laser Diode, CMOS imager, and LED Illumination design experience considered a plus.
Skills and Abilities
- Ability to execute new electronic designs from concept to production.
- Self-management, planning, communicating, and working effectively in a multi-functional team.
- Proficient with high-end schematic capture tools, design constraints, documentation source control, component database management, and approved vendor list (AVL) management.
- Verify high speed signal integrity compliance by either test methods or third party PCB simulations.
- Incorporation of manufacturability and testability into designs.
- Skilled at troubleshooting with high end scopes, DVMs, Logic and Protocol Analyzers, and other tools.
- Working with the manufacturing department to help development calibration and alignment processes and fixtures.
- Keep up to date on the latest electronics technology and its applicability to the problems we are trying to solve.
- Manage outside contractors, suppliers and supply chain issues affecting the production of products.
- Address continuation issues on released products.
- Familiarity with ISO development processes.
- Mentoring of Junior Engineers and Technicians.
