PCBA schematic electronics engineer

Job Description

 

• Experience selecting and integrating varying pieces of high-tech Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) components to interoperate well together, including designing necessary interfaces.
• Good working knowledge and experience selecting and sizing current and latest available electrical and electronic components for system integration
• Experience selecting and interfacing components of industrial quality embedded microprocessor, single-board computer (SBC) based control systems, PLCs, including defining necessary signals, sensors, and actuators, and selecting appropriate I/O; may also require some custom electrical designs where COTS components are either inadequate or unavailable.
• Experience designing, interfacing, translating, and integrating various data communications signaling, such as Ethernet, USB, RS-232, RS-422, RS-485, SPI, I2C, CAN, etc., including their associated media and protocols in high-noise potential environments.
• Experience with DC power systems design (24, 48 ,400-800, 3200-5000VDC).
• Experience with low-medium voltage, single- and 3-phase power systems (120, 240, 480, 3000+ VAC).
• Experience designing PCB interfaces with: wiring, cabling, grounding for minimizing electrical noise and EMI, as appropriate.
• Good electrical drawing/drafting skills accurately create and read detailed schematics, wiring diagrams, cable drawings, system cabling and block diagrams, etc.
• Proficiency in proper use and application of various standard electronic test equipment; e.g., DMM/multimeters, oscilloscopes, power analyzers, spectrum analyzers, communications analyzers, CTDR, OTDR, optical power meters, etc.
• Proficiency with advanced Computer Aided Design (CAD), Simulation, and Analysis software packages such as SPICE, AutoCAD, SolidWorks, MathCAD, MATLAB, etc.
• Good written and oral communications skills, including ability to effectively document, convey, and present engineering concepts and products to team members and customers.
• Experience in the marine (surface or, preferably, underwater) industry and associated technologies, including ROVs, AUVs, and related robotic and electromechanical systems.
• Working knowledge of applicable industry professional and technical standards (IPC, IEEE, ANSI, IEC, ISO, NEMA, NEC, etc.)
• Good practical technician skills (assembly, wiring, soldering, cabling, etc.)
• Experience with fiber-optics.
• Experience applying machine safety systems and standards.
  
   

Ability and flexibility to travel on occasion, typically pre-planned for up to one to two weeks at a time; may be within the US or outside the US.
