We offer an excellent opportunity for highly motivated individuals in a fast-paced, biotech organization.
The Electrical Engineer II is an experienced member of the Sustaining Engineering team responsible for maintaining and improving existing electronic products used in industrial and medical-related applications. This role involves supporting manufacturing, resolving technical issues in production, addressing component obsolescence, and updating product designs as necessary.
This individual is expected to have a background in Electronics, including Analog and RF-based systems, PCB design (schematic capture and layout), and hands-on troubleshooting. Experience in embedded systems development and product design is highly valued. A working knowledge of industry safety and communication standards (e.g., IEC, FCC, EMC / EMI compliance, ISO / UL) is desirable.
Essential duties and responsibilities :
- Support production and fielded products through electrical troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and corrective actions.
- Address component obsolescence by identifying replacements, revalidating circuits, and updating documentation.
- Develop and maintain electrical design artifacts, including schematics, PCB layouts, and component libraries.
- Create or update test fixtures and work instructions to support manufacturing and product testing.
- Support and troubleshoot Analog Circuitry including RF.
- Contribute to embedded hardware / software integration and debugging when required.
- Collaborate with mechanical, software, and quality teams to resolve design and production issues.
- Lead or support engineering change requests (ECRs) and product documentation updates.
- Recommend improvements to existing products for reliability, cost, manufacturability, or compliance.
- Assist in qualifying components and ensuring adherence to applicable safety and performance standards.
- Mentor junior engineers and support cross-functional training in troubleshooting and design best practices.
- Participate in internal reviews, audits, and support CAPA (corrective and preventive action) activities as needed.
- May lead medium- to large-scale projects within the sustaining engineering scope.
- Oversees testing done by internal and external laboratories. Communicates and supports with independent testing companies when certifications are required.
- Ad-hoc projects and tasks as needed
Required qualifications :
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent.Minimum 35 years of experience in electronics design, sustaining engineering, or manufacturing support.Strong skills in schematic capture and PCB layout using industry-standard tools (e.g., Altium, OrCAD / Allegro).Proficient in electrical troubleshooting at the component and system level of Analog circuits, including RF design or RF-enabled systems and associated measurement instruments (e.g., Spectrum Analyzer, VNA, etc)Familiarity with embedded system hardware; software / firmware experience is a plus.Effective communication and collaboration skills across engineering and operations teams.Strong documentation skills and attention to detail.Self-motivated, organized, and capable of managing multiple priorities.Preferred qualifications :
Experience in an electronics manufacturing environment supporting high-reliability or safety-critical products.Knowledge of industry safety and communication standards (e.g., IEC, FCC, ISO, UL, EMC / EMI compliance).Understanding of design for manufacturability (DFM), testability (DFT), and lifecycle management.Exposure to configuration / change management tools and structured engineering workflows.Familiarity with root cause analysis methodologies such as 8D, Fishbone, or 5 Whys.Physical and environmental requirements :
Ability to sit or stand for extended periods and work at a computer or lab bench.Manual dexterity for handling small components and tools.May occasionally lift up to 50 lbs.Normal color vision and visual acuity required for component identification and inspection.Work may occur in office and production environments, including exposure to moderate noise and standard lab equipment.Travel requirement :
Occasional travel up to 10%, typically for supplier visits, field investigations, or training.Barry-Wehmiller is an equal opportunity employer. M / F / D / V This organization uses E-Verify.
