Electrical Engineer II

The Electrical Engineer II plays a critical role in the design, development, and validation of embedded systems and high-performance LED circuitry for RIGID’s innovative lighting products. This role is responsible for embedded hardware architecture, firmware development in C, and PCB layout with an emphasis on thermal and electrical efficiency. The position requires cross-functional collaboration, hands-on prototyping, and problem-solving throughout the product development lifecycle—from concept to production.

• Design and develop embedded hardware systems, including microcontroller selection and integration.
• Write and optimize firmware in embedded C to interface with hardware components.
• Select and implement high-performance LEDs and associated drive circuitry
• Design PCB layouts for thermal efficiency, manufacturability, and EMI/EMC compliance.
• Conduct lab-based validation, testing, and troubleshooting using oscilloscopes, multimeters, and other diagnostic tools.
• Collaborate with mechanical, optical, and manufacturing engineering teams during new product development (NPD).
• Support design documentation, design reviews, and transfer to production.
• Perform all other duties and tasks as assigned according to business needs.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (required).
• Minimum 3 years of experience in embedded hardware design and microcontroller-based systems.
• Proficient in C programming for embedded systems.
• Experience with PCB design, LED integration, and thermal/electrical optimization.
• Preferred:
  Experience with PIC microcontrollers and circuit simulation tools.
• Strong foundation in new product development processes and design for manufacturability.
• Technical experience in a manufacturing or R&D environment (preferred).
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
