Job Description Job Description Principal Electrical Engineer
Responsibilities: To take primary technical leadership in the
design, management, and support for our motion control product
lines: Synchro / Resolver to Digital converters DATEL A to D, and D
to A converters Switched-mode multi-phase Brushless DC Motor (BLDC)
drivers & controllers This role requires a deep understanding of
analog / mixed signal circuit analysis and design techniques, to
meet demanding dynamic range, EMI, noise and power specifications.
The candidate should possess strong technical leadership, in order
to drive our interdisciplinary Engineering team through all phases
of product life cycle development- from requirements, architecture,
and detailed design, through to design validation, device
verification, qualification, including support for the handoffs to
test and product manufacturing. Our product lines require
continuous obsolescence review, with support for alternate part
qualification or redesign, to help our military & aerospace
customers manage the product life cycle. Extract clear requirements
and specs from marketing inputs, customer documents & meetings.
Engage early with the customer, to guide requirements toward those
that yield a more realizable, higher value product. Distill
large-scale designs down to their architectural elements, and
develop unique, innovative analog & digital hardware solutions.
Consider & pursue patent applications as differentiators to secure
our competitive advantage. Generate reports, present findings &
provide continuous feedback to the team throughout the review
process- good communication is essential. Develop creative
approaches that favorably optimize complex design tradeoffs for:
product cost, performance, feature set, time to market, and
technical risk. Follow a defined design process, coordinating
technical reviews with the associated disciplines to facilitate
good DFM outcomes in terms of yields, cost and performance. Manage
support and verification activities (thermal, electrical stress,
worst-case, FMEA, tolerance, aging, and EMI analyses, performance
simulations, and design verification) to ensure all requirements
are met for the intended application. Develop project plans,
budgets, schedules; identify the resources required to get from
market requirement to product release. Identify risks and develop
contingency plans to mitigate schedule / technical threats to the
program. Provide technical guidance, including material and labor
cost estimates to support winning tactical business opportunities
and proposals. Mentor, coach, and train engineers to greater levels
of technical and professional achievement. Adopt and support legacy
product lines, resolving new vendor materials / product issues as
they arise. Investigate new methods, processes, techniques, tools,
components, and technologies that may lead to improvements in
quality, timeliness, and efficiency. Conduct in-depth technical
interviews and make hiring recommendations to further build out a
capable and talented technical Engineering team. Qualifying
Experience: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering; Graduate
Engineering degree preferred. Deep bench of Analog Circuit design:
Multiple A to D architectures (multi-pass SAR, Flash, Sigma Delta,
Pipeline) and D to A (serial DACs, R2R, current steering, charge
scaling). Low noise and high dynamic range techniques, sample
acquisition and hold circuits, Bandgap references. Oscillators,
VCO’s, Op-amps, Switched Capacitor Circuits; Active Filters, single
ended / common & differential mode circuits. PCB design techniques
for low noise, low EMI, and high current. Type 2 control loops as
used in Synchro to digital converters; resolver to synchro
transformers, phase / frequency control loops, stability analysis.
Comfortable with analysis in both time & frequency domains. Control
theory and Matrix mathematics including Z domain transform for
digital control; Clark and Park transform theory. Sensors /
detectors- inductive, Hall, optical, LVDT, Synchro / Resolvers and
Encoders. Proficient with CAD tools such as LT-Spice, P-Spice,
OrCAD, Allegro and Pantheon. Analog / mixed signal ASIC design and
verification using Cadence, Synopsis, or Siemens tool suites a
plus. Power electronics / power management (Buck/Boost, LDO, Charge
Pump, Inverters using MOSFET, IGBT, SiC and GaN devices). Motor
control system simulation Space-level radiation hardened design for
analog and digital circuits- rad lot testing, ionizing radiation,
single event upset and total dose analysis regarding component
selection. High level understanding of thermal, electrical stress,
worst case, FMEA, tolerance, aging, and design for low EMI.
