TL;DR · System Architect, Electronic Product Development

The System Architect Electronic Product Development role involves leading the design and development of next-generation electronic locating and marking system architectures for buried asset applications. Working within a product development team, the individual will design analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuits, including sensor signal conditioning, data-acquisition front ends, and power electronics like motor-drive and DC-DC circuitry. Key responsibilities include integrating embedded processors, microcontrollers, and industrial I/O such as EtherCAT into board-level designs while ensuring EMC/EMI, signal integrity, and power integrity. The role requires expertise in RF and HF circuit design, high-speed digital design, and regulatory compliance for CE, UL, and FCC standards. The position focuses on developing field-deployed sensor and automation hardware to deliver energy and industrial automation solutions.

What you'll do

  • Lead the design and development of next-generation electronic locating and marking system architectures.
  • Design analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuits including sensor signal conditioning and data-acquisition front ends.
  • Design power electronics and power-distribution circuits including motor-drive, DC-DC, and protection circuitry.
  • Integrate embedded processors, microcontrollers, connectivity, and industrial I/O into board-level designs.
  • Select and specify electronic components while balancing performance, cost, availability, and manufacturability.
  • Design for electromagnetic compatibility, signal integrity, and power integrity to support regulatory compliance.
  • Drive product architecture, feasibility studies, prototyping, and engineering verification activities.
  • Generate intellectual property positions including invention submissions, patents, and trade secrets.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering or Science completed and verified prior to start from an accredited institution.
  • 5 years of experience in developing electronic hardware product architectures.
  • 7 years of experience designing electronic hardware from concept through prototype and production.
  • 7 years of experience with analog, digital, and/or power circuit design.
  • Master's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering or related discipline (preferred).
  • 5 years of experience with RF and HF circuit design (preferred).
  • 5 years of experience with power electronics, motor-drive or servo-drive circuit design (preferred).
  • 5 years of experience with mixed-signal design, sensor interfaces, and signal conditioning (preferred).
