About the job
About the Opportunity We're looking for an experienced Electrical Design Engineer who enjoys taking a product from an idea on a whiteboard to a working prototype-and ultimately into production.
We are an established engineering and manufacturing company in Lafayette, Indiana that develops custom OEM products and solutions for customers across a wide variety of industries. Because our work is project-driven, our engineers aren't limited to designing the same type of product over and over again.
One project might involve a new PCB and embedded controls. Another might require high-current DC power, sensors, communications, or integration with mechanical components.
We're looking for an engineer who enjoys that variety and is comfortable moving between designing at a computer, building and testing in the lab, troubleshooting problems, and working with manufacturing to get a product into production.
What You'll Do You'll have significant involvement in the complete product-development process, including:
Design and develop printed circuit boards (PCBs) from concept through production
Design high-current and high-power DC circuits and systems
Select and integrate microcontrollers, processors, sensors, communications devices, and other electronic components
Develop complete electrical schematics and PCB layouts
Create bills of materials and production documentation
Select and evaluate components based on performance, reliability, cost, and availability
Build, test, and evaluate prototypes in our engineering lab
Troubleshoot and debug circuits, PCBs, and complete electronic systems
Work with embedded software using C and C++
Collaborate with firmware and mechanical engineers on integrated product designs
Work with our manufacturing partners to transition new products from engineering into production
Support existing products with design changes, component substitutions, testing, and troubleshooting
Participate in technical discussions with our sales team as well as customers to understand requirements and develop practical solutions
What We're Looking For
We're looking for someone who has already designed real-world products and understands what it takes to get a design beyond the prototype stage and into production.
Required qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related engineering field
5+ years of professional electrical engineering/design experience
Strong hands-on experience with PCB design and development
Experience with high-current and/or high-power DC circuit design
Experience with microcontrollers and embedded systems
Working knowledge of C and/or C++
Experience taking electrical designs from concept through prototype, testing, and production
Ability to develop complete schematics, PCB layouts, BOMs, and manufacturing documentation
Experience with electrical/PCB CAD software
Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
Ability to independently own projects while working collaboratively with a small engineering team
Highly preferred:
Altium Designer experience
Experience developing custom OEM products
C# experience
Hybrid Work This position can be structured as a hybrid role, with the flexibility to work remotely part of the week. Because we develop physical products, regular time in our Lafayette office and engineering lab is an important part of the job. You'll need to be on-site for collaboration, prototyping, testing, troubleshooting, and interaction with our engineering team. This is not a fully remote position.
Compensation: Compensation will vary based on factors including but not limited to knowledge, skills and abilities as well as geographic location.
Work Authorization We are unable to provide employment-based immigration sponsorship for this position.
Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States. Employer sponsorship for employment visas is not available for this position.
