Software Systems Engineer jobs in Carson City, NV

Job Title : Technical Project Manager

Location : Minden, Nevada (Onsite)

Duration : Fulltime

Key Job Responsibilities:

• Ability to produce multiple solutions and selection of the lowest cost alternative as per design requirements. Optimize analog and digital circuit design by identifying components, reviewing end-of-life component lifecycles, and conducting technical evaluations and testing. Use expertise in power supplies, microprocessors, microcontrollers, memories, ethernet controllers, peripheral interfaces and displays of industrial products.
• Review/compare component specifications between like components from the same and different manufacturers, including specifications of all electrical/electro-mechanical components (purpose of each pin, timing, speed, voltage, and current limits) and effects on circuits.
• Review electrical circuit design: evaluate circuits and determine which components can be removed to simplify design. Redesign schematics and layouts using printed circuit board design tool Altium designer.
• Trained to utilize schematics design tools, including Altium, Allegro Design Entry, ORCAD, and PCAD and simulations using LT SPICE to assist in cost reduction activities. Use Six Sigma tools, such as Failure Modes, Effects, and Diagnostic Analysis (FMEDA), to maintain reliability while designing less expensive products.
• Overseeing manufacturing processes, prototype circuit board design and development activities and electrical bill of material (BoM) preparation for printed circuit boards and interact with component vendors to get information on designs, board bring up, functional and system testing.
• Gain understanding and familiarization of customer products and process requirements to enable the engineer to conduct feasibility analysis on PWA changes and provide design changes and support through release of the product changes.
• Follows well defined alternate component qualification process and performs qualification testing following customer test methodology such as manufacturing tests, temperature, humidity, GTEM, HALT, and calibration and vibration testing for specific prox. probes, seismic sensors, and enclosures.
• Conduct cost comparisons and feasibility studies on mechanical components, such as sheet metal, castings, machined components, standoffs, and electromechanical components to help identify potential MCO projects.
• Identify and validate critical measurements and tolerance checks of the new components using customer systems (CMM, optical comparators & profile projectors, and gauges). Document design modifications for MCO projects.
• Follow proper test methodology utilizing available test equipment such as high vibration tests (seismic lab), temperature and HALT tests, and humidity susceptibility and corrosion resistance tests.
• Component database Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) cleanup, engineering document creation and release and parts standardization process involved component optimization (reducing/eliminating electrical components), application requirements, inputs/outputs, and communication protocols.

Prerequisite:

• B Tech or M Tech in Electrical Engineering or a related field
• Overall 10 years of experience in the industry.
• Minimum 3-5 years of experience in leading managing Electrical Engineering team
• Minimum of 5 years of experience in the areas of Altium Designer
• Proven experience as a Technical Project Manager in the Electrical Engineering space
• Good at schematics design tools including Altium, Allegro Design Entry, ORCAD, and PCAD and simulation using LT SPICE to assist in cost reduction activities.
• Expertise in the areas of analog and digital circuit design
• Good understanding of the Test methodology and equipment such as high vibration tests (seismic lab), temperature and HALT tests, humidity susceptibility tests etc.
• Experience in Six Sigma tools, such as Failure Modes, Effects, and Diagnostic Analysis (FMEDA), to maintain reliability while designing less expensive products.
• Extensive experience working with business users to translate business language requirements into a detailed technical requirement.
• Good understanding of Engineering/Technical Material Cost Out (MCO) and support to component risk mitigation/component shortages etc.
