We are looking for an Electrical Design Engineer, Multilayer PCBA & System Design (Altium & EPLAN). This position will be based in Atlanta GA.

Relocation assistance may be available for qualified candidates**

• PCBA and System Design Expertise:
  Design and manage multilayer PCBs (4-16 layers) using Altium Designer, including high-speed digital, analog, and power circuits. Perform system-level electrical schematic design in EPLAN, ensuring controlled-impedance stack-ups and optimizing component placement/routing for signal integrity, power integrity, and EMI mitigation.
• Lifecycle Management & Documentation:
  Oversee component selection for performance, quality, lifecycle, and cost. Generate comprehensive manufacturing documentation (Gerbers, ODB++, IPC-2581, BOMs) and system-level documentation. Manage Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) and maintain revision control for both PCB and system designs.
• Collaboration & Manufacturability:
  Partner with procurement, PCB fabricators, and contract manufacturers to ensure Design for Manufacturability/Testability (DFM/DFT) compliance. Collaborate with manufacturing teams to diagnose and resolve issues, and supervise prototype builds.
• Testing, Validation & Compliance:
  Create and review product/process test reports and plans. Conduct engineering assurance evaluations, including Design Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (DFMEA). Ensure electrical designs meet relevant agency requirements and standards (e.g., UL2202, NFPA/NEC, ISO 15118), and participate in certification processes.
• Multi-functional
  
  Collaboration:
  
  Work closely with R&D, Procurement, Project Management, and Manufacturing to resolve technical issues. Manage new materials/components in SAP, coordinate vendor selection, and handle obsolete/replacement parts.

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or Mechatronics
• 3+ years of experience with the following:
  • Advanced PCB Design & Layout:
    Expert proficiency in Altium Designer for schematic capture, multilayer (4-16 layers) PCB layout including controlled impedance, differential pairs, and high-speed practices, and ECO management.
  • Circuit Design & Integrity:
    Strong experience in designing mixed-signal, digital, analog, and power circuitry, coupled with in-depth knowledge of signal integrity, power integrity, grounding, and EMI/EMC mitigation techniques.
  • Manufacturing & Documentation:
    Proven ability to develop PCB stack-ups with fabricators, generate comprehensive manufacturing documentation (Gerbers, ODB++, IPC-2581, BOMs, assembly drawings), and collaborate with manufacturers on DFM/DFT reviews. Familiarity with IPC standards (IPC-2221/2222, IPC-A-600, IPC-A-610) is essential.
  • Hardware Debug & Component Management:
    Skilled in troubleshooting and debugging hardware during prototype and production builds, with a solid understanding of component selection, lifecycle management, and supply chain considerations.
• Legally authorized to work in the United States on a continual and permanent basis without company sponsorship

• Master’s degree in engineering with a concentration in power systems.
• Familiarity with ANSI, IEEE, UL, SAE and NEMA standards for DC Chargers.
• System-level electrical schematic design using EPLAN.
• Electrical design for DC Electric Chargers.
• Some experience working with C/C++ or Python for Linux based Controllers.
