Electrical Engineer Job Description

This Electrical Engineer role focuses on designing and developing analog and digital electronics for motors, actuators, and related electromechanical products in a high‑reliability environment. You will support the full product lifecycle, from initial concept and circuit design through simulation, prototyping, testing, qualification, release, and sustaining engineering. The position requires a hands‑on engineer who can collaborate closely with mechanical, manufacturing, quality, test, and customer teams while delivering robust, manufacturable electronic drive and interface solutions.

• Design and develop analog and digital circuits for electromechanical motors, actuators, and associated control and interface electronics.
• Develop electronic drive solutions that meet motor product requirements and customer interface needs.
• Perform detailed circuit design activities, including simulation, component selection, derating analysis, and design trade studies to ensure reliability and manufacturability.
• Oversee and review PCB layout activities to ensure electrical performance, packaging compatibility, and adherence to design intent.
• Support the complete product lifecycle from concept through release, including integration, prototyping, testing, qualification, and sustaining engineering.
• Work hands‑on with prototype hardware to perform troubleshooting, verification, and design refinement.
• Conduct FMEA and reliability analyses to support product development and risk mitigation.
• Collaborate closely with cross‑functional teams, including mechanical, manufacturing, quality, test, and customer‑facing groups, to ensure successful product delivery.
• Prepare and maintain clear technical documentation and design records throughout the development process.
• Support both new product development and sustaining engineering activities for existing products.
• Participate in customer technical discussions and reviews as needed to address requirements and design considerations.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• 5–7 years of current experience in analog and digital circuit design for electromechanical, motion‑control, motor, actuator, or similar high‑reliability products.
• Proven experience with electronic drives and interface electronics for electromechanical products.
• Strong experience in circuit design, simulation, and component selection, including derating considerations and design trade studies.
• Hands‑on experience with prototype hardware, including troubleshooting and test support.
• Experience supporting products from concept through release and sustaining engineering.
• Proficiency with schematic capture, board‑level design practices, and PCB layout review.
• Experience performing FMEA and reliability analysis in support of product development.
• Strong communication, documentation, and collaboration skills to work effectively in cross‑functional teams.
• Willingness to support both new development projects and sustaining work for existing products.
• Ability to meet export‑control compliance requirements as a U.S. Person.

• Working knowledge of DO‑160 and MIL‑STD‑810 test methods.
• Experience with tools such as Cadence OrCAD, Ansys Electronics Desktop, Mathcad, Microsoft Office, Synergis Adept, and Autodesk Inventor.
• Familiarity with motor drives, power electronics integration, PCB packaging, and electrical interface development.
• Experience with qualification testing, environmental testing, and participation in customer technical reviews.
• Experience in high‑reliability aerospace, defense, industrial, or motion‑control environments.
• Experience integrating electronics into compact electromechanical assemblies.
• Interest in long‑term opportunities with potential for direct employment.

This role is based in Wichita, KS, within a business focused on motors and actuators in a high‑reliability engineering environment. You will divide your time between an office setting and an engineering lab, working closely with cross‑functional teams to develop and support electromechanical products. The position involves…
