Electrical Engineer II will serve as a technical lead within the CCI, driving the architecture and development of next-generation laboratory electronic products. You will take ownership of the full product lifecycle-from initial concept and complex circuit design to final compliance and manufacturing release. This role requires a seasoned engineer capable of solving sophisticated hardware challenges in low-noise instrumentation and quantum photonics, while providing technical oversight to junior staff.
- Lead the design and schematic capture of high-precision analog and digital systems, ensuring optimal signal integrity for low-noise applications.
- Independently manage PCB layout strategies for complex, multi-layer boards involving high-speed signals, sensitive photonics interfaces, and varied power systems.
- Lead root-cause analysis for complex system failures and implement long-term design fixes.
- Coordinate with mechanical, software, and photonics engineers to define system requirements and ensure seamless cross-disciplinary integration.
- Oversee and guarantee that all products meet rigorous international standards (EMC/EMI, UL, CE) through comprehensive validation planning.
- Act as a technical resource and provide oversight for early-career engineers, conducting design reviews and promoting engineering best practices. In addition to the essential functions and duties listed above, all positions are also responsible for:
- Meeting company standards pertaining to quantity and quality of work performed on an ongoing basis, performing all work-related tasks in a manner in compliance with all Company policies and procedures.
- Adhering to Company policies, procedures, and directives regarding standards of workplace behavior in completing job duties and assignments.
The Company retains the right to change or assign other duties to this position.
