Responsibilities
Update in-market circuit designs to address component obsolescence, component changes, second-source requests, cost savings, and other post-launch design improvements for mass production electronics associated with TASER devices and accessories
Collaborate with cross functional engineering design teams, technology partners, and manufacturing teams to own electronics maintenance during the post launch lifecycle
Execute bench-level verification and performance evaluation of components and circuits using laboratory tools such as oscilloscopes, power supplies, multimeters, logic analyzers, and custom related test equipment and software tools
Perform debugging, failure analysis, and rework of electronic systems, circuits, and components to identify and confirm root cause of issues associated with updated design changes or RMA returns. This includes close collaboration with the failure analysis team to conduct CT scans on suspect assemblies and the use of functional circuit testers in production to validate final issue resolution
Using OrCAD schematic design tools, improve or modify embedded mixed-signal electronic circuitry that integrates high voltage power supply circuitry, microcontrollers, flashlight/indication/display/LASER circuitry and drivers, memory devices (FLASH/EEPROM), switch-mode and linear power supplies, batteries, high-speed and low-speed data interfaces, electromechanical transducers, and other discrete digital and analog components for flex, rigid, and rigid-flex PCB designs
Partner with PCB Design engineers to define, plan, implement, and inspect printed circuit board layout updates using Allegro and other layout tools
Develop test methods, execute system and component-level verification, and lead test planning efforts to evaluate electronics design changes
Team with validation and other engineering teams to evaluate and document design update outcomes, test results, and related information, then present findings to management for review and further action
Update and help to finalize assembly drawings, bill of materials, Geber files, and other design documentation needed to support updated design change releases
Knowledge sharing, mentoring, and close collaboration with other team members and departments
Qualification
Required
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or similar engineering discipline
Six years of industry experience in electronics design and sustaining for mass-produced, handheld, embedded, battery-powered consumer devices
Expertise in identifying and implementing alternative electronic components or circuit design modifications to enhance performance, address obsolescence, and optimize supply chain efficiency for released mass-production electronics
Proficient in executing design changes across bill of materials, schematics, and layouts to support identified product changes/updates
Strong proficiency with basic discrete analog and digital circuit design (passive/active components, complex circuit analysis)
Demonstrated experience with component selection, circuit design, and verification testing in several of the following areas: Power supplies (SMPS, LDOs), microcontrollers, memory subsystems (FLASH, EEPROM), switches, connectors, communication interfaces (SPI, UART, I2C), indication LEDs, displays, LASERs, electromechanical transducers, hall effect sensors, inertial measurement units, accelerometers, protection circuitry (ESD, voltage, and current limiting components), discrete resistors/capacitors/inductors, rechargeable batteries and charging/balancing circuitry, RF subsystems (BLE, WiFi) for flex, rigid, and rigid-flex PCB designs
Strong hands-on expertise in electronics verification, characterization, and failure analysis, utilizing lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, power supplies, multimeters, custom test jigs and software related tools
Experience collaborating with laboratory technicians on circuit and component rework. Skilled in coordinating or performing component replacement and rework; hands-on soldering skills are a strong plus. Knowledgeable in rework processes, with the ability to execute directly or manage internal and external rework activities
Schematic design proficiency using industry leading design tools, including BOM development. Experience with Cadence/OrCAD is desired
Proficient in collaborating with PCB engineers on design realization, including layout review, optimization, and release to fabrication; experience with Allegro Viewer is a plus
Proficiency creating test plans needed to verify EE component and circuit changes
Independent contributor capable of developing products within cross-functional engineering teams
Strong proficiency in documentation, analysis, and presentation tools, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint
Basic experience with RF integration and test (BLE, WiFi)
