Position Objective

Demonstrates an extensive knowledge and understanding of electrical engineering principles, concepts, practices and theories. This position requires the candidate to take on the responsibilities of a lead electrical engineer.

Responsibilities include; own the electrical architecture, collaborate with cross functional leads and provide technical guidance and direction for the electrical development. The individual will also interface with internal and external customers. This position also requires the candidate to be an individual contributor to the team. Responsibilities may include research, design, development and test of complex electrical engineering designs and concepts.

This is a temporary position scheduled to last between 6-12 months.

This position utilizes a 9/80 schedule - every other Friday is off!
