• 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.

• 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.
• Ability to work effectively in a cross-functional team environment.
