Electrical Engineer - Product Development

Position summary

The Product Development Electrical Engineer supports various phases of projects ranging from concept generation and initial design all the way through final hardware delivery and volume production. The types of projects vary from exploratory trade studies to highly detailed electro-mechanical systems, to the fabrication of complicated prototype assemblies and testing. As a member of the Product Development department the Electrical Engineer will be engaged in work related to the design of motor controller systems including the development of new electrical schematics, revision to legacy schematics, research of new electrical components and materials, and review of electrical harness & panel area designs and work instructions.

At any given time, the Electrical Engineer is responsible for the success of multiple projects, providing the opportunity to work on all aspects of the product development cycle. Candidates that have a strong technical background with hands-on experience developing complex controls hardware excel at this position.

Initiative: Product Development engineers don't have a daily agenda given to them and are expected to take it upon themselves to work closely with customers, vendors and ACT personnel to fulfill projects goals and objectives.

Technical Knowledge: We are looking for a candidate who has a strong academic engineering background, coupled with hands-on skills and fabrication and testing capabilities.

Teamwork Skills: As a member of the product development team, the ideal candidate must have the ability to give and receive encouragement and constructive criticism, communicate effectively, and work cooperatively with team members to achieve common goals.

Critical Thinking Skills: The product development customer and projects vary widely, and the strategies and design approaches that worked for one program may be completely different for the next opportunity. Because of that, we need a curious individual who loves to dive in, experiment, and develop innovative solutions to new challenges.

Desire to Grow: The ideal candidate wants to be the best at their job and is never content with "good enough". They set lofty goals and constantly seek to improve themselves and expand their professional knowledge and skillset.
