• Perform analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuit design, including schematic development, component selection, and PCB design support.
• Develop and maintain cable and wiring designs, interconnect documentation, and bills of materials.
• Support integration of electrical hardware, controllers, and new or existing payloads into electromechanical platforms.
• Translate system requirements into electrical designs and support verification of performance against those requirements.
• Perform hands-on assembly, prototype bring-up, testing, and troubleshooting of circuits, assemblies, and integrated systems.
• Support development and execution of test procedures, qualification activities, and documentation of results.
• Investigate electrical and integration issues, identify root causes, and implement corrective design changes.
• Prepare and maintain engineering documentation, including schematics, drawings, BOMs, test reports, and design revisions.
• Participate in design reviews and collaborate with mechanical, software, systems, manufacturing, and test engineering teams.
• Consider manufacturability, serviceability, reliability, and component availability throughout the design process.
• Manage assigned tasks, communicate technical risks, and support project schedules and customer requirements.
