The role is responsible for design throughout all product development and system integration phases while collaborating with other engineering discipline teams, and product management. The role is also involved in the PCBA development process including specifications, circuit design and schematic capture, verification, and validation from product inception through to successful product launch. Essential Job Functions Demonstrates SoundOff Signal’s Core Values in daily interactions with internal and external customers. Responsible for circuit design including: High power LED string design to optimize optical and thermal characteristics Linear and switching power supply designs Digital designs (32-bit microcontrollers). Analog design includes circuit simulation and WCCA. Inter-processer communication interfaces and buses (e.g., LIN, CAN, USB, etc.) Responsible for electrical hardware design for products throughout the development lifecycle from ideation through production. Develop concepts, drawings, charts, or other project/ design documentation. Demonstrate problem solving and troubleshooting skills Solve issues and implement changes using corrective actions and engineering change requests/notices. Complete assigned project work on time, and to specifications including schematic, PCB[HM1] layout of prototypes, cost analysis. Responsible for EMC, ESD and transient protection design and testing. Lead electronic hardware design reviews with program teams. Work with EE lab technicians and PCB designers to coordinate prototype builds and produce robust and high-quality electrical designs. Coordinate verification and validation of products through internal and external testing facilities (DVP&R) and utilize results to drive continuous improvements. Understand and account for product, customer, and regulatory requirements in design work. Document engineering work in compliance with ISO quality requirements.
