We are seeking an Electrical Engineer to solve common and complex business issues within established guidelines and recommends appropriate alternatives. Works on problems of diverse complexity and scope. May act as a team or project leader providing direction to team activities and facilitate information validation and team decision making process. Exercises independent judgment within generally defined policies and practices to identify and select a solution. Ability to handle most unique situations. May seek advice in order to make decisions on complex business issues.

Years of relevant experience needed: 4-6 years

Technical Skills:

• Using electrical design tools and software packages.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Using empirical analysis, modeling and testing methodologies to validate component, circuit, and hardware designs and thermal/emissions management.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; Ability to effectively communicate product architectures, design proposals and negotiate options at management levels.
• Possess expert-level knowledge of multi-layer PCB design and manufacturing processes, including the ability to analyze complex stack-ups. Skilled at evaluating how stack-up complexity impacts fabrication yield and board cost.
• Deep understanding of PC system architectures and can synthesize comprehensive block diagrams from physical hardware to evaluate data flow and component integration
