Electrical Engineer

The Electrical Engineer is responsible for developing, integrating and supporting hardware and embedded firmware for new product development and sustaining engineering projects.

Must have C or C++ experience and embedded firmware or hardware (Bare metal) experience.

Must work on site in Connecticut daily. This is NOT a remote role.

Duties and Responsibilities

• General and specialized circuit and system design
• Analysis of general and specialized components, circuits, signals and systems
• Circuit simulation using SPICE modeling
• Schematic capture using Altium Designer®
• Hardware and system development and integration
• Hardware troubleshooting and analysis
• Embedded firmware development in embedded C/C++ programming languages
• Embedded firmware debugging and analysis
• Calculate voltage, current and power requirements for components, circuits and systems.
• Work closely with other engineering disciplines (mechanical, manufacturing, documentation, software) for the purpose of new and sustaining product development, troubleshooting and manufacturing.
• Work closely with component engineers to select components, parts and materials.
• Participate in both peer and management-led design reviews
• Present design strategies and proposals to peers and management in both group and private settings.
• This role involves a split of approximately 70% firmware and 30% hardware development.

Education and Experience

• Must hold a bachelor’s degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering
• Must have minimum 4 years of direct product development experience.
• Must have experience with circuit simulation using SPICE
• Must be able to design products in a holistic manner and provide support through all phases of the engineering process.
• Must be proficient in knowledge and design of common electronic circuits, including but not limited to: transistor and FET amplifiers, solid-state switches, biasing circuits, bridges, rectifiers, filters, digital and analog I/O circuits, current sources, and linear and switching regulators.
• Must have good “hands-on” skills and be capable of using common hand tools and electronic test equipment (digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, function generators, logic analyzers, etc.)
• Must be familiar with common schematic capture software, integrated development environments (IDEs) and Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software.
• Must be proficient in embedded firmware development (C/C++) and hardware design and integration.
• Must be proficient in both AC and DC electrical theory.
• Must be proficient in electromagnetic radiation and heat transfer theories and practices.
• Must possess a complete understanding of the parameters associated with discrete and integrated electronic components, and of electromechanical devices and components.
• Must be proficient in the electronic component selection and evaluation process.
• Must possess a knowledge of common manufacturing processes, as related to component insertion (placement) on printed circuit boards (PCBs), electronic assemblies and subassemblies and electro-mechanical assemblies and subassemblies.
• Must possess excellent communications skills to collaborate with engineers spanning a variety of disciplines
