Job Description & How to Apply Below
The Sr. NPI Systems Electrical Engineer will operate in a fast-paced, startup-like environment where machine designs are still maturing, as we transition new product designs from the development phase to pilot manufacturing. As the Sr. NPI Electrical Engineer you can handle ambiguity, diagnose issues hands‑on across electrical, firmware, and system interactions, to enable successful product launches of complex machines.
Role and Responsibilities- Design and integration reviews with a focus on robustness and testability.
- Analyze concepts and designs for feasibility in manufacturing and identifying potential problems early on.
- Lead bring‑up of electrical subsystems & PCAs within complex machines and robotic system
- Debug system integration issues (electrical, software, and system behavior.
- Drive methodical root cause analysis across electrical, firmware, and integration domains.
- Lead and perform hands‑on debugging (probing, rework, instrumentation, signal tracing).
- Characterize electrical system performance (signal behavior, noise, power integrity).
- Collaborate with contract manufacturers for upcoming new product introductions.
- Support the engineering team with prototype builds.
- Design and order tooling/fixtures for assembly process during prototype and NPI pilot phases.
- Drive NPI projects by managing schedules, cross-functional collaboration, and design transfer deliverables.
