Associate Electrical Design Engineer

Associate Electrical Design Engineer

Requirements

• An Associate or Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering Technology, Electrical Engineering, or Industrial Controls Engineering with at least 3 years of experience designing and developing electronic devices in control systems.
• Alternatively, candidates with 5+ years of experience designing/developing electrical controls assemblies and demonstrated technical competency will be considered.
• Knowledge of industry standards in wiring/harness assemblies and electromechanical subassembly design is required.
• Basic knowledge of analog and digital signal conditioning, electrical hardware design, and circuit analysis is required.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office products (e.g., Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Visio) is required.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate within a multi-disciplinary design and development team to analyze, design, and test electrical components for control systems.
• Participate in early-stage program activities, including customer consultations, problem definition, and the creation of technical proposals.
• Support the evolution of conceptual designs, technical project planning, detailed design, and testing phases (risk mitigation, integration, and validation/verification) under the guidance of the team’s lead engineer.
• Coordinate with drafters, technicians, vendors, and other contributors to develop new electrical console designs.
• Ensure electrical designs comply with performance and safety requirements.
• Select commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) parts and electrical components for test console assemblies.
• Design electrical safety features for complex test systems.
• Develop custom cable harness assemblies for mechanical and hydraulic test systems.
• Design and troubleshoot wiring schematics and drawings for electromechanical subassemblies.
• Contribute to the design and analysis of driver modules for control devices, including EHSV, SOV, DDV, LVDT, and Resolver.
• Support the design and analysis of signal conditioning modules for measurement devices, such as pressure transducers, strain gauges, flow meters, load cells, encoders, and temperature sensors.
• Perform Test Accuracy Ratio/Test Uncertainty Ratio (TAR/TUR) analyses on electrical signal paths of complex test systems.
• Develop calibration requirements and contribute to calibration procedures for designed systems.

Preferred Qualifications

• Basic understanding of sensor/transducer applications, industrial or aircraft closed-loop control systems, and data acquisition systems is preferred.
• Experience with schematic capture software (e.g., Cadence CIS, AutoCAD Electrical, DraftSight) and circuit simulation tools (e.g., LT SPICE, PSPICE) is preferred.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills are preferred.
