Sr. Electrical Engineer

MissionHires is seeking a Sr. Electrical Engineer on behalf of a company to lead the end-to-end design and development of analog, digital, and mixed-signal electronics across multiple product categories. This role owns schematic capture, simulations, part selection, verification, and design documentation while mentoring junior engineers, driving EMC/ESD compliance, partnering with manufacturing on production test strategies, and resolving complex field and sustainment issues. Experience with handheld electronics, rechargeable battery systems, and power electronics is highly preferred.

• Lead schematic capture, circuit simulations, and part selection for new designs
• Design advanced analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuit blocks
• Perform root cause analysis on complex hardware failures and field issues
• Define system-level electrical specifications with systems engineering
• Plan and lead cross-functional design reviews; drive closure of technical issues
• Oversee PCB layout and routing for performance, thermal, and EMI compliance
• Create verification plans and ensure full test coverage for validation
• Mentor junior engineers on test methods, circuit analysis, and documentation
• Collaborate with manufacturing to develop production test strategies and jigs
• Track progress, maintain schedules, and communicate status to stakeholders
• Integrate new technologies (e.g., advanced MCUs, power ICs) into designs
• Author comprehensive documentation: design justifications and test reports
• Manage engineering build logistics, including BOM review and kit releases
• Lead peer design reviews and improve electrical design checklist processes
• Work with suppliers to optimize component cost, availability, and performance
• Analyze and mitigate EMC/ESD risks via simulation, testing, and shielding
• Drive improvements in PCB layout guidelines and EDA tool usage
• Review and approve PCB and assembly changes (ECOs)
• Ensure component libraries are current and meet internal standards
• Support sustainment for obsolescence management and customer issue resolution
• Develop guidelines for documentation consistency and release processes
• Perform other related duties as needed

• BS in Electrical Engineering from an ABET-accredited program

• 5+ years of direct electrical engineering experience

• Proven experience designing circuits, analyzing test data, and independently validating performance

• Strong knowledge of analog, digital, and mixed-signal design principles

• Experience with handheld electronic products preferred

• Experience with small rechargeable batteries (e.g., 18650, Li-Po pouch) preferred

• Knowledge of USB charging methodologies and battery charging designs a plus

• Experience with AC/DC, DC/AC, and DC/DC power electronics preferred

• Demonstrated ability in EMC/ESD risk analysis and mitigation

• Strong technical, analytical, planning, and time-management skills

• Effective written and oral communication; able to present technical and financial justifications to all levels

• Ability to operate in changing, time-constrained, and occasionally stressful environments

• Collaborative team orientation with internal and external partners

• Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, Outlook, PowerPoint)
