What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Electrical Engineer position at Crescent Solutions?
We are seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to serve as the primary electrical subject-matter expert in a multidisciplinary team, primarily composed of Mechanical Engineers. This hands-on role provides essential electrical expertise, supports cross-functional design efforts, and ensures electrical integration into product development. You will evaluate requirements, guide design decisions, develop test methodologies, and resolve complex technical issues.
Key Responsibilities
Electrical Technical Leadership
- Serve as the main electrical resource, offering guidance in design discussions, reviews, and troubleshooting.
- Advise Mechanical Engineers on electrical design intent for electromechanical integration.
- Provide technical insight to support engineering decisions.
Requirements Analysis & Feasibility
- Assess customer requirements for electrical feasibility, identify risks, and suggest alternatives.
- Support quoting and early design by validating assumptions and addressing challenges.
Electrical Design & Integration
- Lead development of circuits, PCBs, flex circuits, wiring, and test fixtures.
- Apply advanced theory (transmission lines, signal integrity, power analysis, EMI/EMC) for reliable performance.
- Adapt existing products or design new solutions to meet customer needs and manufacturability.
Testing, Validation & Documentation
- Develop and execute FAT, DVT, and qualification test procedures aligned with requirements.
- Use tools (oscilloscopes, TDR, VNA, BER testers) to diagnose signal issues and interpret results.
- Produce clear documentation (schematics, BOMs, compliance matrices, reports) and recommend design/rework changes.
- Translate customer needs into technical requirements.
R&D, Troubleshooting & Continuous Improvement
- Perform root cause analysis and corrective actions for electrical/system issues.
- Identify improvements to products, processes, and test methods.
Cross-Functional Support
- Provide electrical expertise to Manufacturing, Sales, Quality, and customers.
- Support production builds, installation, and testing for conformance.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
- 10 years in electrical design or product development.
- Strong knowledge of power, analog, digital, and serial communication systems (RS-232/422/485, Ethernet).
- Expertise in transmission line behavior, signal integrity, power analysis, EMI/EMC.
- Proficiency with oscilloscopes, VNAs, TDR, BER testers, and Hi-Pot testing.
- Experience interpreting schematics, working with electro-mechanical assemblies, executing test procedures (FAT/DVT/qualification), documenting findings, recommending changes, and translating customer needs into requirements.
Preferred Qualifications
- Background in low-volume, high-complexity products.
- Prior work in aerospace, defense, industrial, or medical device fields.
If you have strong hands-on troubleshooting skills and relevant electrical engineering experience, we invite you to apply.
