Job description
Principal Electrical Engineer
Location: Claremont, North Carolina, United States
Job Title
Electrical Engineer Principle – Copper & Hybrid Fiber‑Power Systems
Job Summary
We are seeking an Electrical Engineer (10+ years experience) to join a small, highly collaborative engineering team working on copper Ethernet cabling systems and hybrid fiber‑power solutions. This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys a hands‑on, broad technical scope and thrives in a dynamic, fast‑moving development environment.
The successful candidate will contribute across the full product lifecycle—from concept and analysis through testing, documentation, and field support—acting as a technical generalist with depth in electrical engineering fundamentals.
Key Responsibilities
Technical Engineering & Development
Support the design, analysis, and validation of copper Ethernet cabling systems, including twisted‑pair performance characteristics (impedance, insertion loss, crosstalk, return loss, etc.)
Contribute to the development and evaluation of hybrid fiber‑power (HFP/FMPS) and powered communications systems, including power delivery, protection, and integration considerations
Assist with electrical modeling, simulation, and lab measurement of cables, connectors, and system‑level performance
Participate in failure analysis and root‑cause investigations related to electrical and signal‑integrity issues
Testing & Validation
Conduct and document laboratory testing (electrical, thermal, environmental, and EMC‑related tests)
Use network analyzers, oscilloscopes, power supplies, data loggers, and related instrumentation
Support development and execution of test plans aligned with industry standards (TIA, IEEE, IEC, UL, NEC, and others as applicable)
Cross‑Functional Collaboration
Work closely with mechanical, manufacturing, quality, and compliance teams
Support interaction with suppliers, contract manufacturers, and field personnel
Assist with preparation of technical documentation, drawings, reports, and internal design reviews
Stay current with evolving Ethernet, cabling, and power‑delivery technologies
Support Product Development‑related activities and product qualification efforts
Support standards development through participation and contribution
Support the industry through peer reviewed publication
Provide technical assistance during prototyping, pilot builds, and early deployments
Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (required; other degrees not considered)
10+ years of relevant engineering experience (entry‑level candidates encouraged to apply)
Strong foundation in: Circuit analysis
Electromagnetics and signal integrity
AC/DC power fundamentals
RF principles
Ability to work effectively in a small‑team, multi‑disciplinary environment
Willingness to be hands‑on in both lab and office settings
Strong written and verbal communication skills
Preferred / Nice‑to‑Have Qualifications
Exposure to structured cabling systems, Ethernet PHYs, or high‑speed copper links
Familiarity with: Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs)
Time‑domain reflectometry (TDR)
Power electronics or fault‑managed power concepts
Experience with MATLAB, Python, or similar tools for data analysis
Awareness of TIA, IEEE 802, UL, NEC, or IEC standards
Ideal Candidate Profile
Curious and adaptable a technical generalist comfortable wearing multiple hats
Comfortable moving between analysis, testing, documentation, and troubleshooting
Motivated by real‑world engineering problems rather than narrow specialization
Interested in working close to the hardware and understanding how systems behave end‑to‑end
Small, collaborative engineering team backed by a large enterprise
Mix of hands‑on laboratory work and analytical/problem‑solving tasks
Exposure to both product development and standards‑driven engineering
