What are the responsibilities and job description for the Electrical Engineer position at Pentangle Tech Services | P5 Group?
Core Responsibilities:
- Own schematic capture in Altium (leveraging existing AMU/ZMU architecture).
- Provide PCB layout oversight (signal integrity, power integrity, DFM considerations).
- Support board bring-up and validation.
- Ensure compliance with safety and industrial standards.
- Partner cross-functionally with firmware, systems, and hardware teams.
- Operate independently in a fast-paced, schedule-driven environment.
Technical Scope:
Design Functions
- Power to and control of actuators, fans, and sensors
- Power to and communication with downstream electronics
- Safety-compliant communication pathway between quad skid and pack system
Communication Interfaces
- 1Gbps (1000BASE-T1) Single Pair Ethernet
- CAN-FD
- SPI / UART / isoSPI / I2C / JTAG
Critical Components
- Compute: MCU (LQFP), MPU SOM (SMARC carrier)
- Ethernet: Switch (196-pin BGA, 0.8mm pitch), PHYs
- Power: 48V input, 24V/5V buck converters, 3V3/1V8/1V1 LDOs
- Peripherals: IO expanders, ADCs, DACs, motor drivers, high-side drivers
Must-Haves:
- 5 years electrical design experience (10 preferred)
- BS/MS in Electrical or Computer Engineering
- Strong Altium experience
- Schematic capture ownership experience
- PCB layout experience (multi-layer boards, controlled impedance preferred)
- Experience with:
- 48V power systems
- High-speed Ethernet (1000BASE-T1 highly important)
- CAN-FD
- Data acquisition and control systems
- Board bring-up full product development lifecycle exposure
- Strong understanding of safety/compliance in high-power or chemical environments
- Familiarity with UL standards: UL1998, UL1973, UL9540, UL991
- Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills
Nice-to-Haves:
- 10 years of experience
- Energy storage / EV / automotive / industrial background
- Experience with SOM/smart carrier interfaces
- Deep hands-on PCB layout execution (not just review)
