Electromagnetic Interference And Compatibility (EMC/EMI), The Hardware Engineer will be responsible for executing schematic capture and PCB design in Altium for fire detection and suppression controllers. This includes working on a new control board for the air replenishment system redesign and a new vehicle fire suppression controller. The engineer will implement, revise, and verify board designs while collaborating on architecture-level decisions and conducting DFMEA.
Responsibilities

 * Create and revise schematics and PCB layouts using Altium / Altium 365.
 * Design mixed-signal microcontroller-based boards, including analog signal conditioning and A/D interfaces.
 * Support designs for intrinsically safe environments, including fusing, current limiting, and voltage limiting.
 * Conduct EMC troubleshooting and design remediation as needed.
 * Perform component selection and support obsolescence-driven redesign work.
 * Conduct board bring-up and benchtop verification using oscilloscopes, multimeters, and related lab equipment.
 * Collaborate with firmware engineers on hardware/firmware integration and debugging., Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI): We may use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to support parts of our hiring process, including sourcing, screening, and evaluating candidates.
