Electrical Engineer

Responsibilities

• Determine the best alternate part based on the existing part spec and how the part is used in circuit.
• Understand if any PCB changes may be needed to apply the suggested alternate part.
• Get quotations on the alternate parts from appropriate suppliers
• Consult with engineering and propose to quality what tests need to be done to qualify the alternate part and PCB change (if needed).
• Electrical testing
• Perform the agreed upon tests, delegating some of the testing to other technicians or to the lab.
• Adhere to the Lutron safety protocols during these tests.
• Communicate test results
• Review agreed upon tests and final results with engineering and quality. Propose next steps.
• Propose the cutover plan and include dates for alpha, beta’s, or a gamma burst.
• Operations implementation
• Work with our operations team to make final changes to our product bill of materials.
• Ensure our plants are informed of the change.
• Get feedback from our plants on how the production runs are going after implementation.

• 4-year degree in Electrical Engineering.

• 1-3+ years experience in new product design work or alternate part qualification.

• Proficient in Microsoft tools like Outlook, Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.
• Familiar with measurement equipment like multi-meters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, loads.
• Ability to read schematics and get a general understanding of how a circuit works.

• Experience working with higher voltage circuits (120 – 277V) that are used to control lighting loads.
• General understanding of Altium (a schematic and PCB design tool).
• Basic software skills in any language (C#, Visual Basic, Python)
• Experience working in manufacturing, understanding the implications of changes that are made to consumer products
