INTRODUCTION
Exciting opportunity for an Electrical Engineer to be part of a global engineering team, working on products related to sensing, actuation, control and monitoring. The position requires concept generation, design & development, testing, and production launch activities in support of Barksdale's actuation and sensing product line. In addition, the position may require project management of external product development by engineering firms. The engineer is also responsible for execution of design-related initiatives to reduce product cost while maintaining form, fit and function.
PRINCIPLE RESPONSIBILITIES
New product development:
Lead end to end design of instrumentation and control products (such as monitors, transmitters, and electronic switches) from concept to successful launch, meeting delivery schedule, cost and quality requirements, in line with a structured stage gate process
Architectural design: develop architectural options to meet the concept/market needs
Prototype development: Develop sub-system and system level prototypes across hardware, firmware and software modules
Integration: Ensure that the packaging of the electronics components is in accordance with the mechanical design, resulting in a functional system
Testing & troubleshooting: Diagnose hardware/software issues through lab testing and conduct thorough functional testing to meet specifications and certification requirements
Validation Testing: Plan and perform EMC, Climatic, Vibration, Shock, functional, qualification and validation tests
Sustaining Engineering:
Lead engineering development of simple as well as complex modification projects
Support value engineering and cost-out initiatives
Estimate costs and time to design and manufacture a product design
Engage with a sense of urgency in addressing customer quality issues
Support production floor with product structure specific inquiries
Develop design solutions to meet customer applications
Leadership:
Lead project team for portions of or a complete project, which generally involves directing the work of others and working with engineering resources in Germany and/or India design centers.
Communication:
Interface as required with other disciplines including operations, quality assurance, purchasing to resolve problems and achieve required objectives. Communicate effectively with Project and Principal Engineers, senior management, vendors, and customers both orally and in writing
CRITICAL FACTORS FOR SUCCESS
Working knowledge of analog and digital circuit design (Op-Amps, Filters, SPICE simulation)
Working knowledge of PCB Design tools (Altium, Eagle or equivalent)
Experience or knowledge of embedded C programming IDE (microcontrollers would be plus)
Familiarity designing ultra-low power mixed signal electronics preferably industrial automation equipment, valve controllers and transmitters
Experience in Design for manufacturing (DFM), FMEAs, DVP&R and 8D
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE / SKILLS & QUALIFICATIONS
Fresh graduate to up to 3 years of professional experience in electromechanical systems
BS/MS in Electrical/Electronic Engineering
Familiarity with sensing technologies and signal conditioning electronics
Familiarity with Embedded designs (microprocessor, RAM, EEPROM), analog circuit design (OP-Amps, Filters, SPICE simulation), power Supplies, digital circuit design, signal conversion and filtering, Crystal oscillator circuits, UART circuits, LED/LCD and key pads, Timing constraints, signal quality analysis and frequency response.
Familiarity with oscilloscopes, power supplies, logic analyzers, debuggers and/or emulation tools
Preferred knowledge of communication protocols – CAN, I2C, SPI, etc
Knowledge of QAD or equivalent ERP/MRP system required
Salary range: $90,000 to $100,000. Several factors contribute to actual salary, including experience in a similar role or performing comparable job responsibilities, skills, training, and other qualifications. Compensation packages also include comprehensive benefits, 401K contribution and match, Paid Time Off, paid holidays, tuition reimbursement and more. Some roles may be eligible for participation in performance-based bonus programs"
