The Senior Electrical Engineer researches, designs, and develops embedded electronics and motion control systems in collaboration with software product development. This role combines deep technical leadership, product ownership, and hands-on electronics hardware development, leading the architecture and implementation of complex embedded motion control systems. The role requires a high degree of independence and leadership in complex projects, including management of the full electronics hardware development lifecycle, contribution to technology strategy, on-time delivery, mentorship of junior engineers, and serving as a technical and/or product leader for assigned product lines.

• Design, implement, and optimize embedded electronic hardware for motion control, servo drives, power electronics, motor control, and industrial automation systems.
• Own electrical system architecture spanning power conversion, analog, digital, sensing, communications, and mixed-signal domains.
• Perform component selection, circuit design, tradeoff analysis, and schematic development.
• Contribute to hardware platform strategy, subsystem definition, and product architecture decisions.
• Support PCB implementation, layout collaboration, stack-up design, grounding, thermal, DFM/DFT, and hardware integration activities.
• Translate product requirements into robust, manufacturable, and scalable electrical designs and low-level engineering specifications.

• Lead board bring-up, electrical debugging, characterization, and root cause investigation from prototype through production release.
• Troubleshoot electrical, mixed-signal, and power electronics issues using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power instrumentation, and engineering diagnostic methods.
• Analyze switching behavior, efficiency, thermal performance, EMI/EMC, grounding, and signal integrity.
• Develop and execute validation, verification, and hardware characterization activities.
• Drive technical issues from initial symptom through corrective action and validated resolution.

• Support hardware/firmware integration, system-level debugging, and motion control system development across the product lifecycle.
• Support design verification, validation, EMC/EMI, safety, regulatory, and agency compliance activities, ensuring adherence to hardware development best practices and industry standards.
• Support transition from prototype through manufacturing release, production readiness, and sustaining activities, including investigation of manufacturing, field, and customer-reported technical issues.
• Manage projects independently, adapting to complexity and scale while collaborating across teams to align electrical development activities with product objectives and organizational goals.

• Provide mentorship and technical guidance to junior engineers.
• Contribute to technology roadmaps and strategic planning for electronics development.
• Lead and actively participate in all phases of the product lifecycle—architecture, implementation, review, documentation, testing, release, and long‑term maintenance.
• Support coordination across teams, including software/firmware, QA, and product management.
