* Own electrical and controls at the system level for electro mechanical machines, including requirements, architectures, interfaces, diagnostics, and verification plans.
* Architect, select, and integrate system components (motors, inverters, batteries, chargers, sensors, switches, and harnesses) to meet performance, durability, manufacturability, safety, and cost targets.
* Develop and tune controls systems for machine applications, including motors, actuators, and power-stage electronics.
* Lead hands on prototyping, instrumentation, and integration of electrical, mechanical, and software systems to evaluate concepts and mature designs.
* Identify emerging technologies, develop innovative concepts and product proposals aimed at meeting targeted market requirements or addressing distinct customer challenges.
* Apply strong mechanical aptitude to mounting, cooling, sealing, and EMC considerations; support CAD and modeling activities for layouts, space claims, and harness routing.
* Execute fast fail experiments and structured testing to quickly learn, iterate, and reduce technical risk.
* Plan and execute system level validation using schematics, oscilloscopes, meters, DAQ systems, computer simulation methods, and data analysis to verify performance, durability, and reliability.
* Support compliance activities in partnership with regulatory teams and external labs for EMC, safety, and functional safety requirements.
* Operate as the technical nexus between mechanical, electrical, software, marketing, systems, and other groups to align solutions with customer needs and program objectives.
* Contribute to feasibility studies, concept development, and production launch activities within cross functional teams.
* Support existing products through troubleshooting, debugging, and product improvement activities.
* Create and maintain technical documentation including system requirements, DFMEAs, test plans, and design review materials.
* Provide day to day technical guidance to junior engineers and collaborate effectively with suppliers.
* Collaborate with the Legal team regarding possible patent initiatives and strategies to minimize liability.
* Occasionally travel to test sites, suppliers, distributors, customers, manufacturing facilities, and others as required.
