Electrical Engineer

Overview

The Electrical Engineer is tasked with working on the next generation of TA Instruments rotational rheometer products for research and material development.

• Support development needs for new products and modified designs from concept through production.
• Primarily responsible for designing new electronics including electrical boards and embedded code to support a new rheometer electronics system architecture.
• Update older boards which need to be redesigned due to obsolescence issues and transition to a new CAD design system.
• Conduct electronic board‑level schematic design and layout of rheological instrumentation and accessories from proof of concept stage to hand over to production.
• Follow the design requirements of the materials testing market strategy at TA Instruments.
• Work through problems to provide solutions to a wide range of technical problems involving the design, development, and testing of company‑produced scientific instrumentation.
• Responsible for testing new board designs and writing software code to test new operating specifications, including new developments and shipping products such as recoding the autoloader for the rubber rheometer.
• Develop and guide feasibility studies and testing of new and modified designs.
• Use simulation software to design test programs for validating new electronics that have been prototyped.
• Write code to modify behavior of current shipping products to overcome procedural or quality issues in the field and address customer needs.
• Evaluate a variety of data, conduct tests, and evaluate results.
• Apply judgment and presentation of test data during a phased and gated development process, assessing whether to continue with current design path or change direction to make a better investment of time and money.
• Conduct design reviews as a technical lead.
• Demonstrate sound engineering and laboratory practices that comply with ISO procedures.
• Observe safe work practices in compliance with company procedures during test phase of projects and maintain documentation on new designs.

• Required
  
  Education:
  
  Minimum of a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field (or foreign degree equivalent).
• Required Experience:
  
  At least 1 year of experience in hardware and software design, including the design and simulation of sensor analog/digital circuits, power electronics, advanced motion control systems, micro‑controller programming, register‑transfer level (RTL) FPGA design, and programming/design with C, Verilog and VHDL.
• Special Requirements:
  Demonstrated ability in programming and development of embedded systems with micro‑controllers and FPGAs and familiarity with Real Time Operating Systems (RTOS) such as Linux and C‑OS, programming/design with C, Verilog and VHDL and design and application programming of networks; demonstrated ability in PCB design and best practices for Electro‑Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) using Altium; demonstrated ability in electrical design, specifically digital and analog experience, including interfacing ADCs, digital and analog sensors, power electronics, motor drive, Electric Drivetrain Technology and battery management systems;
  
  demonstrated ability in analysis and simulation of electrical/digital and control systems using Matlab/Simulink, LTSpice/Tina, Quartus/Modelsim; demonstrated ability in Finite Element Analysis of magnetic structures and Electro‑mechanical systems using Ansys. Ability may be gained during graduate program (coursework, projects, internships).

Salary: $97,328/year.
