Job Title:

Electrical Engineer

Job Description

This Electrical Engineer role supports the design and manufacturing of advanced laboratory equipment, with a strong focus on existing electrical components, electrical subsystems, and product testing. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional product development teams to enhance electrical systems in products such as freezers, biological safety cabinets, shakers, incubators, and water systems. The position combines hands-on circuit design, simulation, troubleshooting, and test validation to deliver reliable, environmentally responsible, and regulatory-compliant solutions in a manufacturing environment.

Responsibilities

* Collaborate with product development and cross-functional teams to design and optimize electrical systems for laboratory products, including freezers, biological safety cabinets, shakers, incubators, and water systems.

* Identify and implement design optimization projects to improve performance, reliability, and manufacturability of existing electrical components and subsystems.

* Participate in Practical Process Improvement (PPI) teams to enhance electrical systems, achieving high quality, long-term reliability, and environmentally friendly designs while meeting regulatory requirements.

* Develop detailed specifications for electrical systems, subsystems, and components, ensuring they meet performance and compliance requirements.

* Troubleshoot electrical systems, including both analog and digital circuits, to resolve existing issues and improve product quality and reliability.

* Analyze electrical systems using simulation software to improve design robustness, performance, and reliability.

* Contribute to analog circuit design, digital circuit design, and software design and troubleshooting, including interfaces to electromechanical systems.

* Apply familiarity with C and C++ programming languages to support software-related aspects of electrical system design and debugging.

* Develop and execute comprehensive test plans to validate electrical system performance, using design for reliability tools and performance sensitivity analysis.

* Ensure designs and test plans consider applicable third-party certifications, such as FDA, UL, CE, and CSA, and support compliance with these standards.

* Improve current electrical systems by applying Design for Manufacturability and Design for Assembly principles, focusing on ease of service and cost reduction.

* Work closely with external suppliers to identify and implement improvements to existing product designs.

* Use PCB CAD design tools to support printed circuit board design and modifications.

* Utilize Microsoft Office and other computer tools to document designs, analyses, test results, and project status.

* Support technicians by interpreting schematics and assisting with troubleshooting activities on the shop floor.

* Participate in Continuous Improvement initiatives and support PPI, Keys, and Lean projects to enhance processes and product quality.

* Perform all job duties in a safe manner and follow all safety policies and procedures.

* Perform all job duties consistent with the organization's Code of Ethics and core values.

* Ensure all work complies with ISO standards and applicable regulatory or statutory requirements.

* Perform other duties and cross-training assignments as required to support team and organizational objectives.

Essential Skills

* Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering.

* Two to five years of experience and/or training in electrical circuit design and product development.

* Hands-on experience with analog and digital circuit design and troubleshooting.

* Ability to analyze electrical systems using simulation software.

* Familiarity with C and C++ programming languages for software-related design and troubleshooting.

* Experience working with electromechanical systems and their electrical interfaces.

* Ability to develop specifications for electrical systems, subsystems, and components.

* Experience developing and executing test plans to validate electrical system performance.

* Knowledge of Design for Manufacturability and Design for Assembly principles.

* Understanding of design for reliability tools and performance sensitivity analysis.

* Familiarity with third-party certification considerations such as FDA, UL, CE, and CSA.

* Proficiency with commonly used PCB CAD design tools.

* Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications.

* Ability to read and understand electrical schematics and assist with troubleshooting.

* Basic electrical engineering principles and practical application skills.

* Ability to use AutoCAD, including copying and pasting and updating drawings.

* Strong written and verbal communication skills.

* Demonstrated sense of ownership and urgency in managing projects and work assignments.
