Electrical Engineer - PCB & ECAD Tools

Job Summary

The Electrical Engineer is responsible for electrical system product support. The position plays a crucial role in maintaining product integrity, evaluating change opportunities, and integrating new component designs into existing systems while working to meet agreed upon cost and schedule commitments. The candidate should be able to read, understand and create schematics and wiring diagrams, analyze complex problems to identify root cause, and develop innovative solutions.

The role requires ability to work across disciplines with mechanical engineers, software engineers, manufacturing personnel, and field personnel.

• Provide product support for a variety of existing elevator components and electrical systems.
• Collaborate with global and regional, multi-functional teams in support of PLM engineering activities including needs analysis, functional allocation, cost-benefit analysis, architecture development and evaluation, trade-off analysis, and risk assessment.
• Lead and perform electrical qualification testing for EE projects/products.
• Prepare or support system-level design failure mode and effects analyses for each end-to-end feature/product prior to development start and verify requirements and design with modeling, simulation, and test as required.
• Read and understand schematics, wiring diagrams, mechanical assembly drawings, and building layouts to analyze complex problems and identify root causes; work across disciplines with mechanical engineers, software engineers, manufacturing personnel, and field personnel.
• Hands-on integration, validation, verification, and troubleshooting of pre-production systems and workflows.
• Support current strategic plans, roadmaps, engineering tasks, and testing for electrical systems, services, and features within the Client product framework.
• PCB updates.

• Working knowledge of power distribution, protection, and control systems.
• Experience with North America electrical codes and standards.
• Understanding of power components, distribution and protection, controls theory and application.
• Electrical engineering background knowledge with wiring diagrams, system analysis, motor, and control applications.
• Experience working with suppliers/3rd parties, with national and local codes and enforcement agencies (e.g., UL, CSA, ASME, NFPA, TSSA, NEC preferred).
• Experience with ECAD tools such as Cadence, PSpice, View Logic, AutoCAD, E3 Zuken.
• Experience working across disciplines with mechanical engineers, software engineers, manufacturing personnel, and field personnel.
• Understanding of PCB assembly and other manufacturing processes.
• Experience with test and measurement equipment.
• Ability to translate abstract ideas into product requirements within existing ecosystem constraints, timing pressures, and customer expectations to achieve quality objectives.
• Hands-on lab experience with electrical architecture, embedded software designs, and test equipment to support test, integration, and troubleshooting.
• Solid electrical engineering foundation in wiring diagrams and systems analysis.
• Elevator systems knowledge is a plus.
• Strong interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills; ability to work independently and in cross-functional teams within a matrix organization to meet customer commitments.

• Bachelor's degree - Electrical / Electronic Engineering
