What are the responsibilities and job description for the PCB Design Engineer –(Circuit Design, Electronics & Full Product Lifecycle) position at Food Management Search?
PCB Design Engineer – (Circuit Design, Power Electronics & Full Product Lifecycle)
Up to $100,000 · Greater Milwaukee / Northeast Wisconsin corridor · A small, growing manufacturer where engineers own projects from concept through production — direct access to leadership, real design influence, and no narrow silos.
- Experience 4 years with degree — 10 years considered without
- Comp Up to $100,000 — commensurate with experience
- Travel ~20 days per year domestic
- Location Greater Milwaukee / Northeast Wisconsin corridor — onsite
- Type Full-time, direct hire | 401(k) offered
- Auth U.S. work authorization required — no sponsorship
This is a full-time, permanent opportunity with a small, privately held manufacturer that has posted steady year-over-year growth designing and producing highly engineered electronic products for demanding applications. There are no large-organization layers here — engineers work directly with leadership, have genuine influence over design decisions, and carry projects across the full lifecycle from PCB layout through prototype, test, and production release.
For an electrical engineer who has been confined to one slice of a larger product at a bigger company, this is a meaningful shift. You will manage multiple concurrent projects, work across analog, mixed-signal, and power supply design, and operate with the kind of autonomy that only comes in a smaller, results-focused environment. Contributions are visible, the work is technically substantive, and the growth trajectory of the company means the role will continue to expand.
What you will be doing
- Designing and laying out PCBs from concept through production release
- Developing power supply designs — analog and mixed-signal
- Creating electrical schematics, specifications, and BOMs across concurrent programs
- Supporting prototype builds, product testing, and manufacturing startup activities
- Performing reliability analysis and supporting quality processes
- Contributing to technical documentation and project deliverables
- Managing multiple projects and priorities simultaneously
What we are looking for
- Hands-on PCB layout and circuit design experience — core requirement
- Power supply design background — analog and/or mixed-signal
- Ability to read, create, and interpret electrical schematics and technical documentation
- Experience in a regulated or quality-driven manufacturing environment
- Self-directed work style — able to operate independently without heavy oversight
- Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple concurrent priorities
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering preferred — 10 years of relevant experience considered without degree
Strong pluses (not required):
- Simulation tools — PSpice or similar
- Embedded or firmware familiarity
- Mechanical integration exposure — SolidWorks or similar
- Experience in highly regulated or performance-critical industries
