The individual will assist in creating analog and digital circuit designs that meet design requirements. The candidate must be willing and able to work within a dynamic R&D team environment. Quality verbal and written communications abilities are required. Development of schematics, PCB layout and the ability to perform circuit analysis to calculate tolerances, errors, and drift are examples of expected design outputs. Additional design functions, such as writing and performing acceptance and test procedures will be part of the typical duties and expectations.

This position is expected to be an entry level position working under the guidance of an experienced design team. More experienced candidates with a demonstrated proficiency designing and testing printed circuit assemblies will be considered.

Responsibilities:

• Work within a cross-functional design team for large scale projects.
• Assist in the design of circuits and circuit boards from a blank slate to meet specifications or desired functionality.
• Assist in creation of documentation for designed electronic devices, including schematics, Bill of Materials, fabrication drawings, and assembly drawings.
• Assist in choosing components that will meet Environmental, Seismic, and EMC Qualification requirements.
• Create design documentation required by Quality Program such as: Design Management Plan, Design Drawings, Design Specification, Acceptance Procedure, Qualification Plan, Qualification Test Report, and Engineering Change Notice.
• Prepare theory of operation documentation and define operating parameters.
• Create Design Adequacy test regimens to ensure the designed product meets the specification requirements.
• Work with technical team members to ensure manufacturability of the design.
• Able to interface with fabrication and assembly partners (internal and/or external) for prototype and production of printed circuit board assemblies.
• Assist in building prototypes and test fixtures.
• Use assorted electronics lab test equipment to perform troubleshooting and make modifications to prototypes.
• Develop programming code (C, C++, C#, Python, Verilog…) to automate testing processes.
• Ability and/or willingness to learn how to solder and rework soldered components for R&D prototypes.
• Desire to learn about the basics of nuclear reactor physics and instrumentation.
• Additional related tasks may be assigned by management.

Qualifications:

• No work experience necessary but the candidate must demonstrate some level of experience in circuit design, simulation, circuit testing, soldering and troubleshooting.
• Minimum of a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, or related field.
• Must be experienced with hands-on test equipment such as oscilloscopes, meters, power supplies, Hi-Pot, Megger, function generators, along with other typical lab test equipment.
• Must be able to produce documentation at a high level of quality with attention to detail and in accordance with Paragon procedures.
• Must be self-motivated and able to assist the product development from inception through production.
• Experience with Altium, Spice, and Solidworks is a plus.
