Senior Electrical Engineer
Responsibility Statement
The Senior Electrical Engineer will be responsible and accountable for architecting, developing and testing of embedded electronic systems that meet or exceed Vicon's design goals. This would include schematic capture (both analog and digital), PCB layout review, test plan development and design validation.
Challenge
The challenge is develop cost effective, compact, designed for manufacturing, high quality electronic circuits with low emissions profile to power Vicon's cameras and continually lower the cost of the cameras.
Specific Responsibilities and Accountability
Design board-level electronics for use in embedded systems for cameras and other products
Review and update existing designs to add features, reduce cost and improve power efficiency
Perform schematic capture, both analog (power and signal) and high speed digital design
Create PCB designs, determine component placement, review layout and hand-off for manufacturing
Validate prototype builds for functionality, EMC and thermal characteristics
Develop and document test and programming fixtures
Develop FPGA code encompassing test bed design, functional simulation as well as synthesizable HDL code
Maintain symbol and footprint libraries
Manage BOMs and parts qualification using Agile documentation control system
Mentor and educate other team members and review their work as necessary
Collaborate with operations team and contract manufacturers to ensure that designs can be translated in to finished product
Collaborate with mechanical engineer to ensure designs are compact and fit appropriately within the camera housing
Collaborate with software engineers to design and leverage hardware features in product firmware
Demonstrate project leadership ability to understand program requirements and translate into design documents
Develop and maintain appropriate product design, design test and validation, and
Work with Engineering management and other team members to ensure designs are completed on schedule
Performance Skills
Strong organizational, oral and written communication skills
Enthusiastic and self-directed team player who has a strong work ethic, ability to execute and complete priorities judiciously and multitask under tight deadlines and changing priorities
