What are the responsibilities and job description for the Electrical Engineer - Hardware Design, Plymouth, MN position at Danfoss?
The Impact You'll Make
Danfoss is on the lookout for curious, creative, “let’s-figure-this-out” Electrical Engineers to join our growing team. If you love solving complex problems, tinkering with new tech, and celebrating small wins with a supportive crew of fellow engineers, you’ll fit right in.
In this role, you’ll put your engineering degree and PCB expertise to work developing new product features, enhancing existing ones, and ensuring our technology operates at peak performance. You’ll dive into schematics, PCB layouts, and mechanical drawings, leveraging tools like Altium Designer and NX to bring ideas to life. Your strong grasp of advanced math concepts and hands-on experience with digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, RF tools, and power supplies will help you troubleshoot and innovate with confidence.
Beyond design, you’ll act as a technical resource for sales, production, quality, and procurement teams—because around here, engineering doesn’t happen in a vacuum (even if we do sometimes test things in one). If you’re ready to combine creativity with precision and collaborate across disciplines, we’d love to hear from you.
