Senior Electronics Design Engineer

We believe power is a promise - a shared commitment to be there for others when it matters most. For more than 65 years, we've turned big ideas into solutions that help protect homes, strengthen businesses and build a more resilient, efficient, sustainable energy future. Ready to Power a Smarter World with us? Generac Home is hiring for a Senior Electronics Design Engineer.

In this role as part of the Home Interconnects & Interconnect Controls team you will be responsible for interconnecting sources and loads across Generac’s product portfolio. We own controls and hardware that tie generators, energy storage, transfer switches, load-management devices, and metering together into a coordinated home energy system. As a Senior Electronics Design Engineer, you will own and drive the board architecture for our interconnect products - from power-conversion, metering, and control architecture through verification and production.

This is an ownership role, not a pure execution one: you will set technical direction, make the architecture and component-selection decisions, and partner closely with firmware, mechanical, manufacturing, and test engineering to bring robust, cost-effective products to market.

• Own and design and validate analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuits for power conversion, power management, embedded control, communications, sensor interfaces, and precision AC voltage, current, and power measurement, including revenue-grade metering and calibration.
• Perform schematic capture,component selection, simulation, PCB design reviews, and hardware debugging.
• Apply functional safety and safety-critical design principles throughout, including DFMEA and compliance with standards such as UL 991.
• Drive Design for Excellence (DFx)-Manufacturability, test, reliability, and cost.
• Support manufacturing and production at scale-resolving production issues and root-causing hardware failures across development, validation, manufacturing, and the field.
• Work with suppliers to evaluate components and resolve technical issues.
• Collaborate with firmware, mechanical, manufacturing, quality, and test engineering to deliver robust, cost-effective products.
• Mentor engineers and provide technical leadership through design reviews, design standards, and architecture decisions.

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, orrelateddiscipline.
• 5+ years of experience in mixed-signal electronic hardware design&product development.
• Experience designing products through full product development cycles and into production.
• Hands-on experience with power-conversion design (AC-DC and/or DC-DC) and microcontroller-based embedded control systems.
• Demonstrated experience owning and driving board-level architecture-defining partitioning, interfaces, and design tradeoffs-not solely executing schematic and layout to a given spec.
• Knowledge of AC voltage, current, and power measurement, including revenue-grade metering and the associated accuracy and calibration considerations.
• Experience with schematic capture and PCB layout review.
• Experience debugging complex electronic systems using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other laboratory equipment.

• Master's or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline.
• 7+ years of experience developing electronic products for high volume manufacturing.
• Experience with a range of communication protocols (CAN, UART, SPI, I²C, Ethernet, USB) and related hardware.
• Experience with hardware validation, reliability testing, and regulatory compliance.
• Familiarity with simulation tools for analog, power, and signal integrity analysis.
• Experience with Design for Manufacturability (DFM), Design for Test (DFT), Design for Reliability (DFR), and Design for Cost (DFC).
• Familiarity with automated test development and fault injection techniques.
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills and the ability to work effectively on cross functional teams.
• Experience with renewable energy, battery systems, power electronics, or RF design is strongly preferred, given the residential energy focus of our products.
