Lead Electrical Design Engineer – Battery Management & Power Electronics

UEC Electronics is seeking an experienced, hands-on Lead Electrical Design Engineer to provide technical leadership for the development of advanced battery systems and power electronics used in demanding military and industrial applications.

This is a senior technical leadership position with responsibility for electrical hardware development throughout the entire product lifecycle—from requirements definition and system architecture through detailed circuit design, PCB development, prototype testing, qualification, and production release.

The successful candidate will combine deep expertise in analog, digital, mixed-signal, and power electronics design with the ability to guide and mentor a team of electrical engineers.

We are looking for an engineer who takes ownership of technical outcomes, exercises sound engineering judgment, identifies design risks early, and drives designs to successful completion.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys solving challenging technical problems, developing other engineers, and delivering robust, manufacturable products.

• Serve as the technical lead for electrical hardware development across battery management systems, power electronics, battery protection circuits, and associated control and monitoring electronics.
• Lead electrical system architecture development, requirements analysis, component selection, circuit design, simulation, and hardware implementation.
• Translate system‑level requirements into detailed electrical design specifications, functional block diagrams, circuit architectures, and verification plans.
• Take technical ownership of designs from initial concept through prototype development, design verification, qualification, and production release.
• Make and document critical design tradeoffs involving performance, reliability, safety, cost, manufacturability, and schedule.
• Establish and conduct rigorous technical design reviews to identify potential problems before designs are committed to fabrication.

• Design and review analog, digital, and mixed‑signal circuits, including power supplies, voltage and current sensing, signal conditioning, communications interfaces, and protection circuits.
• Develop battery management and protection electronics, including cell monitoring, balancing, battery monitoring ICs/analog front ends (AFEs), fuel gauging, fault detection, and safety‑critical control functions.
• Design and evaluate power conversion, switching, gate‑drive, and high‑current circuitry as required by system architectures.
• Develop schematics, simulations, calculations, component specifications, and supporting engineering documentation.
• Provide technical oversight of PCB layout, including grounding, isolation, creepage and clearance, current carrying capacity, thermal management, EMI/EMC, and design for manufacturability.
• Conduct schematic and PCB layout reviews to verify correct circuit implementation and compliance with design requirements.
• Collaborate closely with embedded software engineers to ensure effective hardware/software integration.

• Lead hardware bring‑up, prototype testing, debugging, and design verification activities.
• Personally perform hands‑on circuit troubleshooting using oscilloscopes, electronic loads, power supplies, multimeters, logic analyzers, and other laboratory equipment.
• Develop and oversee electrical verification plans, test procedures, acceptance criteria, and test reports.
• Investigate challenging hardware issues, identify root causes, and implement effective, verified corrective actions.
• Support environmental, electrical, safety, and electromagnetic compatibility…
