Job description
Senior Electrical Systems Engineer – Controls & Sensing About the Opportunity
We are seeking a Senior Electrical Systems Engineer for a product development opportunity involving advanced sensing, electronic hardware, and embedded control systems.
This position will provide technical ownership of electrical components and subsystems throughout the product development lifecycle. The engineer will work across hardware, embedded software, systems, validation, manufacturing, and external suppliers to develop robust solutions for complex, production-level applications.
This is a hands-on engineering role requiring strong electrical fundamentals, systems thinking, and the ability to independently investigate and resolve technical challenges.
Responsibilities
Lead the development and integration of electrical and electronic components from initial requirements through validation and production.
Define technical requirements and interfaces for sensors, electronic modules, and related hardware.
Evaluate component performance, electrical interfaces, signal quality, power and grounding, communications, diagnostics, and potential failure modes.
Collaborate with embedded software, controls, systems, and validation engineers during product development and integration.
Work directly with suppliers on technical requirements, design reviews, testing, issue resolution, and production readiness.
Develop and execute component and system verification and validation activities.
Support electrical, environmental, durability, and electromagnetic compatibility testing.
Analyze engineering data and lead structured troubleshooting and root-cause investigations.
Develop and maintain engineering documentation including requirements, risk assessments, validation plans, technical specifications, test reports, and design changes.
Support prototype development, system integration, production readiness, and technical issue resolution.
Identify technical risks and coordinate solutions across engineering, quality, manufacturing, validation, and supplier teams.
Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related technical field.
5+ years of experience in electrical hardware, embedded systems, electronic controls, component engineering, or related product development.
Experience taking electrical or electronic hardware through multiple phases of the development lifecycle.
Strong understanding of analog and digital electronics, sensors, power and grounding, signal integrity, communication interfaces, diagnostics, and failure analysis.
Ability to interpret electrical schematics, technical specifications, component documentation, and engineering test data.
Experience with engineering requirements, design reviews, verification and validation, and structured problem solving.
Strong troubleshooting and root-cause analysis skills.
Experience collaborating with multidisciplinary engineering teams and external suppliers.
