Senior Electrical Engineer

 North Shore, MA
 

 

Overview:

Designing electrical circuits and systems consisting of instrumentation, high voltage, power, and control system designs for use in large scale capital equipment.  Projects will include New Product Development and Continuous Improvement, and will be a team approach with Mechanical, Software, and other Electrical Engineers. 

Responsibilities:

  • Ability to execute all project phases from conceptual designs through detailed design, prototype part procurement, development test, reliability test, and release to manufacturing.

  • Ability to deliver technical presentations in support of product proposals and engineering design reviews.

  • Ability to mentor junior engineers.

  • System level design to integrate instrumentation, controllers and power supplies into major machine level assemblies.

  • Circuit design of analog, digital and FPGA circuits for printed circuit boards to interface to instrumentation, hi voltage power supplies, and motion control systems.

  • Knowledge of grounding and shielding techniques

  • Power Distribution and System Interlock Design

  • Packaging of custom VSEA or off the shelf components into modular chassis.

  • Cable and harness design

  • Development, System, and Reliability Test of circuit boards, controllers, and electro-mechanical assemblies.

  • Ability to evaluate system designs for cost and manufacturability performance targets. 

Qualifications:

  • Analog and digital circuit design.

  • High voltage design.

  • Power distribution design.

  • Circuit analysis software experience.

  • High Level digital design language (Verilog, VHDL).

  • Laboratory instrumentation (Oscilloscopes, Logic/Timing Analyzers, DVM’s) experience.

  • LabView Software.

  • Control Loop Analysis (stability, gain and phase margin).

  • Robotics experience (motors, encoders, amplifiers, motor tuning).

Requirements:

  • BSEE or equivalent with a minimum of 7 years related experience.

  • Proficiency with schematic capture packages (IE: ViewLogic, Pro Diagram)

  • Proficiency with MS Office

  • Limited travel within the US, Asia, and Europe
