Senior Electrical Engineer

Position Summary Teal's electrical engineers are responsible for their designs from conception to sustaining. As a Senior Electrical Engineer you are responsible for multiple subsystems under the guidance of a project lead engineer, or you may be responsible for one type of subsystem used in multiple concurrent projects. You are a subject-matter expert in at least three technologies critical to UAVs.You

are proficient in all aspects of the design process and can work effectively with counterparts in other disciplines such as mechanical engineering and firmware development to maximize the chances of first-pass success. You have a deep sense of ownership in your work.

You are experienced with design-for-test (DFT), design-for-manufacturing (DFM), and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and can be relied upon to incorporate these concepts into your designs.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities Serve as primary engineer responsible for multiple subsystems within a design or a single subsystem incorporated into multiple, possibly concurrently running, projects

Design subsystems that are incorporated into larger designs

Serve as a subject-matter expert in at least three technologies critical to UAVsDesign high complexity PCBAs that incorporate design-for-test (DFT), design-for-manufacturing (DFM), and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) best practices to maximize the probability of first-pass success

Drive EMI/EMC compliance testing

Conduct trade studies to evaluate new technologies that may be incorporated into Teal’s designs

Write Engineering Verification Test (EVT) procedures

Execute Engineering Verification Test (EVT) procedures and write reports documenting EVT test results

Troubleshoot issues uncovered in EVT, DVT, and reported by customers in the field

Estimate the level of effort in engineering hours and total duration of tasks assigned to you to help refine your lead engineer’s and project manager’s schedule

Lead design reviews of your work and participate in design reviews for others

Perform PCB layout as needed and work with both internal and external layout resources

Work with manufacturing test engineers to develop production line tests by leveraging the engineering validation test procedures and results

Guide sustaining engineering on existing designs to manage cost and component obsolescence as needed

Maintain an accurate electrical bill of materials (BOM) in the product lifecycle management (PLM) system

Required Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering9+ years’ experience owning designs from concept through production, leading multi-subsystem development and ensuring first-pass success through cross-functional collaboration with mechanical and firmware teams.

Solid understanding of PCB manufacturing technology

Proficiency in defining a PCB stackup that minimizes cost while still achieving excellent EMI/EMC performance

Proficiency with high-density interconnect (HDI) PCB technologies

Solid understanding of PCBA manufacturing technology

Solid understanding of how to use different type of electrical components depending on a design’s operating requirements

Good working knowledge of at least 3 key drone technologies (e.g., Brushless DC Motor Drive, Inertial sensors, GPS, Lithium-Ion batteries, Camera Interfaces, Radio modules)
Proficiency in use of laboratory test equipment

Excellent communication skills in writing reports and corresponding with manufacturers

Proficiency in Altium Designer Proficiency with a SPICE-based circuit simulator or a signal/power integrity design tool (SI/PI)
Solid understanding electrical signal propagation

Experience using a programming language to automate testing, interface with test equipment, and process and visualize test results (Python is preferred)

Physical Requirements and Working Conditions Must be able to walk, stand, and navigate large indoor and outdoor facilities for extended periods of time.

Ability to lift, carry, and move materials and equipment weighing up to 25 lbs on a regular basis.

Use of personal protective equipment (PPE) may be required in designated areas or when performing specific tasks, in accordance with safety protocols and company…
