Responsibilities:

• Lead product development projects from the concept phase to manufacturing launch.
• Write project and product requirements specifications.
• Directly interface with customers to clearly and concisely communicate technical information.
• Architect and design hardware solutions by analyzing the performance and feasibility of alternative hardware concepts using circuit theory and simulations.
• Implement physical hardware designs by selecting components, capturing schematics and supervising PCB layouts.
• Supervise external contractors; work with outside labs.
• Support the assembly of prototypes by providing documentation and assistance to ensure high quality prototypes are built in a timely manner.
• Develop and execute hardware design verification test plans per requirements specifications to ensure prototypes meet design requirements.
• Develop project documentation in accordance with quality and change management procedures and guidelines to ensure project information is properly organized and archived.
• Provide support for existing and future electrical products and general electrical engineering support for the entire company.
• Mentor less experienced team members.
• Conduct design reviews, participate in and facilitate DFMEAs.
• Continue to learn new skills and techniques through in-house training, outside training/coursework, seminars, trade shows and appropriate use of the internet and participate in the training of other members of the engineering team in these skills.
