Job Summary
:
We are seeking a talented and self-motivated Electrical Engineer II to join our engineering team. In this role, you will be responsible for the electrical design of FPGA, board, and system-level hardware, as well as managing the electronic component database supply chain lifecycle. You will collaborate closely with interdepartmental teamsincluding design engineering, purchasing, and manufacturingto create modular product configurations and support product integration and testing. The ideal candidate possesses strong analytical skills, a thorough understanding of electronic components, and the communication skills necessary for customer-facing technical support.
Job Duties and Responsibilities:
- Electrical design of FPGA, board, and system-level hardware. Support PWB layout activities.
- Manage the electronic component database supply chain lifecycle (PCNs, EOL, LTB, etc.).
- Create modular product configurations per customer requirements.
- Support product integration, verification, and validation testing.
- Support the creation of engineering and production documentation including requirements and design specifications, test plans, and test procedures.
- Provide engineering technical support to the manufacturing department and external customers.
JOB REQUIREMENTS
The applicant MUST have the following qualifications:
- U.S. Citizen
- Bachelors Degree (Electrical, Electronics, or Computer Engineering) with a minimum of 2 years of experience.
- Experience in Component Engineering and electronic product design.
