How you will make an Impact (Job Summary)

SPX is a diverse team of unique individuals who all make an impact. As an Electrical Engineer, you will be responsible for designing state-of-the-art products for the utility inspection market, utilizing embedded vision system to create cutting edge complex designs.  The Electrical Engineer will design, debug, and test prototype components and circuit card assemblies while working in a cross-functional organization. Product designs involve the combination of analog, digital and High Speed design for interfacing to PC's and SBC’s via USB, PCIe, Ethernet, and other common computer protocols. Senior Engineers may also provide work direction to other engineers, lead project teams, lead engineering wide process improvements, write standards as a subject matter expert and be a product owner.

The Electrical Engineer role involves occasional travel and requires the ability to work within commercial and scientific teams. The Electrical Engineer must be capable of high-level, project-oriented system design and analysis. The role requires the ability to take ownership of and be responsible for many simultaneous system deliverables. This includes project planning, design, implementation, testing, documentation, validation and support. He/she must be a graduate in an applicable field with significant industry experience or equivalent.

What you can expect in this role (Job Responsibilities)

1. Design and Development:

• Design and layout electronic circuitry.
• Designs complex electronic circuits, subsystems, systems, and products.
• Layout Circuits and systems vary in complexity: may include analog, digital, microprocessor, high voltage/power circuitry, and DC motor driver circuitry at both the schematic capture and PCB layout stages of development.
• Writes test plans and performs evaluation testing during the design process. These electronic components may interface with mechanical components. 

2. Technical Support and Analysis:

• Provides technical support for existing products, including quality assessment, failure analysis, and product improvement activities.

3. Documentation and Reporting:

• Writes manufacturing and test procedures and reports.
• Participates in project teams and activities related to product development and support.
• Provides technical support to sales and marketing for bids and proposals.
