Design Engineer - Electrical Hardware
Xylem is a Fortune 500 global water solutions company dedicated to advancing sustainable impact and empowering the people who make water work every day. As a leading water technology company with 23,000 employees operating in over 150 countries, Xylem is at the forefront of addressing the world's most critical water challenges. We invite passionate individuals to join our team, dedicated to exceeding customer expectations through innovative and sustainable solutions. The Design Engineer - Electrical Hardware will take a lead role in the design and development of innovative, energy-efficient electrical hardware solutions. As a core contributor to our multidisciplinary global engineering team, you will play a critical part in bringing disruptive technologies to market that solve real-world water challenges. We are seeking a hands-on electrical engineer with deep hardware design expertise, strong communication skills, and a passion for cutting-edge technology. This role is ideal for engineers with experience in both power electronics, analog and digital systems design, and embedded hardware development. Responsibilities
Lead the design, development, optimization, and validation of power, analog, and digital hardware systems. Design and develop electrical circuits used in power conversion applications such as variable speed drives (VSD/VFD). Perform technical feasibility analysis, architecture planning, and specification writing for new product designs. Conduct thermal and electrical simulations, create hardware prototypes, and execute rigorous lab testing to validate designs against functional and regulatory requirements. Collaborate closely with firmware developers to ensure smooth integration of hardware and software systems. Support root cause analysis and implement robust corrective actions for hardware-related product issues. Perform FMEA, risk analysis, and drive design improvements based on reliability and manufacturability. Work cross-functionally with product managers, marketing, and customers to translate market needs into viable hardware solutions. Stay up to date with emerging trends in power electronics and hardware development to guide innovation and continuous improvement. Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field (Master's degree preferred). 5 plus years of experience in electrical hardware design, particularly in the development of power electronic products or embedded systems. Proficiency in hardware design tools such as Altium Designer, OrCAD, PSIM, or PLECS. Strong understanding of analog/digital circuit design, EMI/EMC mitigation strategies, and thermal management for power systems. Experience designing with modern power electronics topologies (e.g., VFDs, active front ends, PFC circuits). Hands-on familiarity with embedded system development and C/C++ programming for microcontrollers. Excellent communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills. Xylem is a global leader in water technology, committed to creating sustainable solutions that improve the way water is used, managed, conserved, and re-used. Join us in driving innovation and making a difference. The estimated salary range for this position is $80k - $120k plus bonus. Starting pay is dependent on multiple factors, such as skills, experience, and work location, and is not typically at the top of the range.
