Description
ABOUT US
G&H is a world leader in optical designing, testing and manufacturing. As experts in the technology of light, G&H works with customers to provide optical systems, assemblies, and components for demanding applications
Headquartered in Ilminster Somerset, UK with primary operations in the USA and Europe, G&H is recognized for the breadth of their acousto-optic, electro-optic, crystal-optic, fiber optic, and precision optic products. G&H is recognized as the preferred source for OEMs in the life sciences, industrial, and aerospace and defense industries, with a history of quality and excellence that dates back over seventy-five years.
ROLE
The Electrical Engineer for the Stingray Product Development Team is responsible for the design, development, validation, and sustainment of electrical and electronic systems supporting the Stingray product line. This role is critical to both new product development (NPD) and ongoing production support, ensuring that electrical designs are robust, manufacturable, testable, and supportable throughout the product lifecycle.
In this high-mix, low-volume (HMLV) environment, the Electrical Engineer will partner closely with Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, Operations, Test, and Supply Chain to bring products from concept through production readiness and into stable manufacturing. The role requires hands-on troubleshooting capability and a strong commitment to maintaining production flow and first-pass yield.
Responsibilities & Performance Measures
The Company is committed to providing equal employment opportunities for all employees and applicants for employment. The Company does not discriminate in employment opportunity or practices on the grounds of gender, race, religion or belief, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by national laws under which the Company operates.
US Postings ONLY: In the instance that the position will involve having access to items and technical data that may be controlled under U.S. export laws and regulations ("U.S. Export Control Laws"), including but not limited to the Export Administration Regulations ("EAR") and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations ("ITAR"). To comply with the U.S. Export Control Laws, and in conjunction with the review of candidates for those positions within G&H that may present access to export-controlled technical data, G&H must assess whether candidates are "U.S. persons" as defined under the EAR (15 C.F.R. Part 772) and the ITAR (22 C.F.R.
