Electrical Engineer

About UsHow do scientific questions get answered? How do new things get built? They always require people with a love of science or engineering who use building blocks to discover and create. Alicat Scientific has been manufacturing and servicing high quality mass flow and pressure devices since 1991, and we have grown every year for over 20 years. Each instrument is a custom made building block that might be employed in support of space rockets, hydrogen fuel cells, medical oxygen delivery systems, environmental monitoring stations... or anywhere precision gas instruments can advance science and industry.At Alicat, speed is embedded throughout our organization, including the instrument''s speed of response, our speed of product development, and our speed of customer support. We don''t believe in hierarchy or power by title, prefer principles over rules, and believe if you make an impact people will notice. Our informal environment celebrates differences, whether those differences are as big as our diverse backgrounds or as small as our opinions of movies.Job SummaryThe Electrical Engineer will be responsible for designing circuits that implement analog, mixed-signal, and digital circuit designs. The individual will be highly motivated, analytical, creative, and passionate about electrical design. They will contribute all the way from product ideation to release to manufacture.Essential FunctionsPerform hardware development for flow and pressure control devicesDesign analog circuits that include: high/low/band pass filters, current and voltage inputs/outputs, linear and switching power supplies, operational/instrumentation amplifiers, discrete semiconductors, etc.Design mixed-signal circuits that include: high-resolution Analog-to-Digital Converters, high-resolution Digital-to-Analog Converters, comparators, phase-locked loops, timers, etc.Design digital circuits that include: high speed microprocessors, PWM, I2C, SPI, TTL, MIPI, etc.Designs circuits that meet applicable safety standards (CE, UL, ATEX, Ex)Design valve and motor control circuitsDesign hardware interfaces that implement USB, RS232/RS485 serial communication, wireless communication, and various industrial communication protocols (EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, PROFIBUS, Modbus TCP, etc.)Use CAD tools for schematic capture, layout, and library managementPerform simulations to validate circuit designs/conceptsTroubleshoot electrical issues during board bring up and validationPerform schematic/board layout reviewsCoordinate/supervise electronics tests with the test engineering groupQualificationsExperience in analog, digital, and mixed-signal hardware circuit designExperience using CAD tools for schematic capture, layout, and library management (Altium)Experience performing circuit simulations in LTSpice or similarExcellent written and verbal communication skillsProficient with lab equipment such as logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, power supplies, function generators, etc.Experience with Ethernet, USB, Bluetooth, and WiFi designsIntelligent, creative, passionate, driven, and analyticalWhat We OfferA rewarding career where your level of impact is only limited by your ambition. There is no ''red tape'' to get in the way of you and others in the company making a difference. In addition to a competitive salary, you will enjoy exceptional healthcare, retirement 401k with up to a 5% employer match, bi-annual bonuses, and other work/life benefits. We offer parental leave (including paternal) of 14 weeks fully paid, flexible work schedules, and educational assistance. Got a hobby project you''re tinkering away with that might make you a better engineer? We''ll cover the costs associated with that since new capabilities ultimately make us a better group. You''ll also expand your knowledge by closely collaborating with a tight-knit group of multi-discipline engineers.
