Electrical Engineer (Entry Level)

The Electrical Engineer supports engineering in the development and implementation of electronic circuitry for products and in-house test equipment. This may include developing schematics and PCB layouts, component selection, circuit board layout, circuit testing and troubleshooting, and low-level firmware development for embedded systems.

Essential Functions

1. Works with supervisor to determine circuit and component needs.
2. Research available components and circuit configurations needed to meet design requirements. Performs searches on available databases to identify components best suited to the application.
3. Makes recommendations and selects suitable components and alternatives.
4. Develops primarily analog and some digital circuitry and performs circuit analysis and simulations as required. Develops and evaluates prototype circuitry to confirm circuit concepts.
5. Develops low level firmware needed to support circuit development and testing of embedded systems.
6. Develops schematics, PCB layout, prototypes and testing.
7. Assists with the development and verification of assemble drawings and bills of material.
8. Assists with engineering change processes to ensure changes are properly tested and documentation is accurate and updated in a timely manner.
9. Reads, analyzes, and interprets technical documents to define problems and established facts.
10. Maintains required documentation of development and testing activities, including engineering notes and reports.
11. Complies with safety policies, practices, and procedures. Reports unsafe activities to supervisor and/or Human Resources.
