Senior Electrical Product Development Engineer

About the Company

The Senior Electrical Product Development Engineer is a key technical contributor driving G&G’s electrical product development from concept through production. This is a hands-on opportunity to join a fast-growing, innovative team where your expertise in power electronics, PCB design, and hardware validation directly shape G&G product design and reliability.

About the Role

As a proactive problem solver, the Senior Electrical Product Development Engineer thrives in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment with the desire to drive significant impact. Technically deep and execution oriented, you drive electrical design from R&D through production release.

Responsibilities

Electrical Design & Product Development (60%)

• Design electrical circuits and PCBs for LED drivers, control systems, and power electronics.
• Utilize Altium Designer for PCB layouts; maintain all ECAD data.
• Develop early-phase R&D prototypes and proof-of-concept designs.
• Create, execute, and document hardware validation plans.
• Support UL certification on new product development.
• Drive continuous product improvements and iteration through field analysis and root cause investigation.
• Design and implement production test fixtures for PCBA validation at volume.
• Manage assigned projects end-to-end; maintain timelines, escalate risks, communicate status proactively.

Manufacturing Integration & Cross Functional Collaboration (30%)

• Own BOM accuracy for assigned products; verify components against design requirements.
• Validate incoming parts and assemblies against design specifications.
• Manage component alternate approvals and proactively qualify alternates.
• Support internal SMT/PCBA process as a technical expert.
• Forensic analysis of electrical field returns and internal defects; drive corrective actions.
• Partner with manufacturing on first-run production builds.
• Establish electrical test methods and procedures.
• Provide technical guidance to Sales and Support teams as needed.

Team G&G (10%)

• Live and reinforce G&G core values.
• Contribute as a key member of the G&G Engineering team, fostering a culture of problem solving and continuous improvement.
• Provide guidance and mentorship to junior engineering team members.

Qualifications

• Must align with our Core Values.
• A bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, or equivalent demonstrated experience in power electronics design and PCB development.
• 5 years of hands-on experience designing switching power supplies, LED drivers, or similar power electronics products is essential.
• Proficiency in Altium Designer for schematic capture and PCB layout.
• Strong lab skills: oscilloscope, bench power supply, DMM, and the ability to debug hardware at the circuit level independently.
• Experience working through UL certification (1598, 8750, or similar) is a plus.
• Familiarity with EMC testing methodologies (conducted/radiated immunity, IEC 61000 series) is a plus.
• Embedded firmware experience (C, Python, or similar) is a plus.
• Experience with industrial LED lighting products or three-phase power systems is a strong plus.
