Job Summary: Intermediate level engineering position to design and develop security sensors with minimal supervision throughout the development process. Working with multiple personnel and departments developing algorithms, testing routines, overseeing PCB design details, etc. 

Job Duties: Minimum job duties include the following. 

• Design and develop embedded microprocessors and digital circuitry for perimeter security sensors.
• Generate electrical schematics and production drawings verified to meet functional requirements.
• Support senior level/project lead Engineers with prototyping and the testing of designs.
• Guide production of drawings, test procedures, manuals & supporting documentation.
• Research, develop, and evaluate design concepts including materials, specifications, etc.
• Evaluate new and existing circuits for appropriate functionality and the ability to pass electrical qualifications tests.
• Utilize simulation software and proof-of-concept prototypes as needed to validate new circuits and subsystems.
• Perform hardware validation, driver development, and support manufacturing programming through test flows.
• Create and update documentation for designs, and all phases of the project.
• Participate in all phases of product design flow – from concept to prototyping and production.
• Develop high-level design requirements and block-level micro-architectures, partition design and create specification documents.
• Generate schematics for PCB manufacturing and export.
• Conduct simulation in SPICE and using relevant software (Altium, CAD) to verify design performance.
• Other duties may be assigned.

Skills/Experience: Three years related engineering experience, or two years with advanced engineering degree.
