- Conduct research and development activities aligned with organizational goals and objectives
- Design and conduct experiments, simulations, and analyses to drive new technology and product development
- Lead ideation, conceptualization, and prototyping of innovative solutions
- Collaborate with internal and external partners
- Ensure R&D projects meet industry standards, regulatory requirements, and quality protocols
- Contribute to strategies for successful commercialization of R&D innovations
YOU MUST HAVE
- Masters in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related discipline and 7 years experience.
- Experience with development, testing, and troubleshooting of sensors and their associated electronics.
- Must be a US citizen, permanent resident, or have protected status.
WE VALUE
- Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related discipline and 5 years of experience.
- Strong communication and presentation skills.
- Program leadership experience
- Experience with two or more of the following:
- Test techniques particularly focused on high performance sensors; writing test plans; developing data collection software/tools; analysis and interpretation of data; measurements over applied environmental conditions such as temperature, rotation, acceleration, vibration, magnetic field, etc.
- Embedded software development (e.g., FPGA, DSP).
- Analog electronics development including sensor electronics technology, low noise circuit design, and optimization of circuit layouts.
- Digital electronics development (e.g., ADC, DAC, SPI interfaces).
- Analytical capability to design transducers using mechanical and electrical analysis, simulation, and/or finite element modelling using tools such as COMSOL or ANSYS.
- Ability to understand the physics and demonstrate capability of modeling sensors and microsystems using first principles, equations, and simulation tools, and translate these modeling results into improvements in device performance.
- Prior experience with micro-electromechanical systems and microfabrication processes.
