Electrical Engineer - Manufacturing

The Electrical Engineer is responsible for supporting the design, development, programming, validation, and continuous improvement of electrical and electro-mechanical systems used in product development and manufacturing. This role contributes to research and development activities, including circuit design, embedded programming, and system-level testing, to ensure products meet performance, reliability, and regulatory requirements. The Electrical Engineer defines test methods, analyzes performance, and resolves technical issues while working cross-functionally with Production, Quality, and Test Technicians to support product performance throughout the lifecycle.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or related field required
• 3–7 years of experience in electrical design, development, or testing within a manufacturing or product development environment
• Strong understanding of analog and digital circuit design and analysis
• Experience with embedded systems and programming (e.g., C/C++, Python, or similar)
• Proficiency in reading and creating electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and technical documentation
• Hands-on experience with electronic test equipment (oscilloscopes, DVMs, power supplies, function generators)
• Experience developing test methods, validation protocols, and troubleshooting approaches
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills with the ability to diagnose complex system-level issues
• Effective communication skills with the ability to collaborate across Engineering, Production, and Quality
• Familiarity with ISO-based quality systems and controlled manufacturing environments (ESD, documentation control) preferred

Research, Design & Development

• Participate in research and development of new products, technologies, and design concepts
• Design and evaluate analog and digital circuits, including signal conditioning, power regulation, and embedded control systems
• Develop and modify embedded firmware/software to support product functionality, testing, and system integration
• Conduct feasibility studies, proof-of-concept testing, and design evaluations
• Identify technical risks and recommend design or process improvements based on analysis and testing
• Design and develop electrical circuits, assemblies, and systems based on defined requirements
• Create and maintain electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and supporting technical documentation
• Select and evaluate components for performance, reliability, and manufacturability
• Support design reviews and implement improvements to enhance product performance and quality
• Manage engineering changes, including documentation updates, revision control, and implementation support

Testing, Validation & Engineering Analysis

• Develop and define electrical test methods, validation plans, and acceptance criteria
• Analyze test data to verify performance, identify trends, and ensure compliance with specifications
• Support and guide Test Technicians in executing test procedures and troubleshooting failures
• Investigate product failures and perform root cause analysis at the circuit and system level
• Evaluate test processes for repeatability, accuracy, and efficiency, and implement improvements
• Prepare and maintain engineering test reports, validation documentation, and analysis records

Prototyping & Product Verification

• Build, program, and evaluate prototypes to verify design intent and functionality
• Develop test setups, fixtures, and automated test methods where applicable
• Perform functional, environmental, and reliability testing
• Support integration of hardware and firmware to ensure proper system operation

Manufacturing & Production Support

• Provide engineering support to Production and Test Technicians to resolve electrical and system-level issues
• Assist in troubleshooting test stations, equipment, and product failures on the production floor
• Collaborate with Quality to investigate nonconforming product and support corrective and preventive actions (CAPA)
• Support implementation and validation of manufacturing processes, including participation in IQ/OQ/PQ activities as required
• Ensure alignment between engineering design intent and production execution

Documentation, Quality & Continuous Improvement

• Maintain accurate and controlled engineering documentation in accordance with company and QMS requirements
• Develop and update test procedures, work instructions, and technical standards
• Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and internal quality system procedures
• Participate in continuous improvement initiatives to enhance product reliability and manufacturing efficiency
