Electrical Engineer

Overview

Itron is innovating new ways for utilities and cities to manage energy and water. We create a more resourceful world to protect essential resources for today and tomorrow. Join us.

At Itron, we help utilities and cities deliver reliable, efficient, and sustainable energy and water. We're looking for an Electrical Engineer with a strong focus on precision analog and power electronics to join our Devices group and help design the next generation of electricity metering products. This role is ideal for someone who is passionate about high-accuracy measurement, robust hardware design, and collaborating across disciplines to deliver safe, reliable solutions for customers around the world.

• Design, develop, and validate precision analog circuits for electricity metering devices operating in high-voltage environments (up to 240 V), focusing on accuracy, safety, and customer-centric performance.
• Design and support AC-to-DC power conversion and power supply circuitry, including magnetics, isolation, protection, and efficiency optimization to deliver innovative and reliable products for utility and energy customers.
• Develop robust, regulatory-compliant electronics that interface with external utility power systems, incorporating surge, transient, and fault protection circuitry to protect people, infrastructure, and data.
• Perform hands-on circuit bring-up, debug, and characterization using oscilloscopes, precision meters, and environmental chambers, ensuring design quality and performance.
• Troubleshoot and drive root-cause analysis of analog and power circuitry to meet product quality, reliability, and long-term stability targets; document learnings to support continuous improvement and innovation.
• Collaborate with firmware, systems, compliance, mechanical, test, and manufacturing teams throughout the product lifecycle to contribute to a collaborative and authentic team culture.
• Define and support manufacturing test requirements, calibration flows, and verification strategies for analog and power subsystems to ensure scalable production and reliable field performance.
• Apply best practices for high-voltage PCB design, including creepage, clearance, isolation, and noise mitigation, balancing agility and rigor in design decisions.
• Participate in and lead technical design reviews, providing clear documentation, data-driven recommendations, and open feedback to support accountable engineering decisions.
• Provide technical guidance and peer support to junior engineers, sharing knowledge in analog and power design, mentoring in lab practices, and fostering an inclusive, growth-oriented and innovative environment.

• 5+ years of professional experience in electrical engineering with a strong focus on analog circuit design and power electronics (or equivalent education/experience).
• Proven experience designing AC-to-DC power supplies, including magnetics, isolation techniques, protection circuitry, and efficiency optimization.
• Hands-on experience designing electronics that operate in high-voltage or energy-connected environments (e.g., utility, industrial, metering, instrumentation).
• Experience developing hardware for regulated or compliance-driven products with familiarity in standards and test requirements.
• Strong understanding of analog-domain challenges, including noise, accuracy, thermal effects, drift, and long-term stability; data-driven design trade-offs.
• Proficiency with electrical lab equipment (oscilloscopes, precision meters, power analyzers, environmental chambers) for validation, troubleshooting, and failure analysis.
• Experience with schematic capture, circuit simulation, and PCB layout tools, with emphasis on high-quality analog design and high-voltage layout constraints.
• Clear and inclusive communication skills; ability to explain technical concepts to cross-functional partners and work effectively in collaborative, agile teams.
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field, or equivalent practical experience in analog and power electronics.

• Experience with electricity metering, metrology, or revenue-grade measurement…
