Electrical Engineer

Description

Position Summary

The primary responsibility of this position is to design, develop and maintain the electrical systems, components and parts that comprise our state of the art Vertical Farm products.

Duties and Responsibilities

• Collaborate in the development of systems requirements and specifications
• Collaborate in the buy/partner vs build decision process including evaluating 3rd party products, process, and capabilities vs desired system requirements and specifications
• Design, develop, and maintain electrical systems that meet system requirements and specifications while meeting safety standards. (e.g., UL) 
• Develop system test strategies and collaborate with QA and QC teams to verify quality with regard to delivery and operation
• Manage individual work and deliver on time with quality
• Use computer-assisted engineering and design software to create well-organized electrical schematics and PCB layouts, as well as wiring harness schematics (knowledge of Altium Designer a plus)
• Utilize design software to create prototypes of products
• In-depth knowledge in PCB design analysis, signal integrity and transmission line circuitry, understanding of ESD principles
• Familiarity with motor drive systems and their implementations while also taking into account EMI considerations
• Ability to do minor board rework, prototyping using existing circuit boards
• Use standard test equipment to debug and validate circuit design/manufacturing both on the bench and in situ as part of larger systems
• Collaborate with mechanical designers both in electromechanical component selection (e.g. sensors, actuators) for robotic systems as well as in integrating PCB design and layout with mechanical packaging constraints and harness routing
• Collaborate with firmware developers on system-level functional design and component selection (e.g. microcontrollers, sensors)
• Must be a self learner able to delve into electrical engineering theory and topics in order to implement system designs, troubleshoot and bug fix
• Other Duties as assigned
