RIX INDUSTRIES
RIX Industries is a technology-focused company specializing in the design, development and manufacturing of gas generation systems, precision compressor solutions, and cryogenic cooling technologies for critical applications in Marine, Aerospace, Land, Energy, Industrial, Medical, and Critical Infrastructure markets. Founded in 1878, the company is headquartered in Benicia, CA, and operates additional facilities in Sparks, NV.
The Embedded Systems Engineer III is responsible for the design, development, coding, testing, and maintenance of embedded systems and their software. Experience with both hardware and software is required. Familiarity with common PCB and PCB Assembly Industry Standards such as IPC, CE, and UL is required.
Perform schematic capture, PCB layout, component selection, bill of material generation, and produce PCB fabrication documentation. ~Design and develop digital circuitry for real time control of systems using microcontrollers, digital signal controllers, or digital signal processors. ~Design and develop digital communication interfaces such as CAN, RS232, RS485, Ethernet, SPI, or I2C. ~Perform thermal analysis of PCBA componentry for component selection or identification of thermal management requirements. ~Develop firmware and software for custom developed PCBAs to control and communicate with gas compression, gas generation, or cryogenic systems. ~Collaborate with engineers to integrate newly designed controllers into production units. ~Procure prototype quantities of components and PCBs and assemble/solder if required. ~Design and build functionally representative prototypes, both physical and computer models. ~Perform tests using functionally appropriate prototypes and document results. ~Perform technical trade studies to support product development strategies. ~Support Production and Supply Chain teams for production of PCBA designs through Contract Manufacturers. ~Support Test Engineering in EMC testing and qualification by designing immune and low EMI circuits or identifying necessary corrections or improvements. ~Perform Root Cause Analysis of electrical and electronic system failures. ~Design circuitry and electronic assemblies to meet regulatory standards including such as IPC, CE, UL, FCC, or MIL-Spec. ~Bachelor of Science in electrical engineering or related engineering field from an accredited engineering school. ~6 years’ experience with programming in Embedded C, C and C++. ~6 years’ experience with electro-mechanical integration of PCB assemblies. ~6 years’ experience with thermal analysis of power devices on PCB assemblies. ~6 years’ experience with digital hardware design (Microcontrollers and communication protocols such as Ethernet, RS485 etc). ~Completed (designed/built/tested) controller assemblies that went to end use field applications and experienced ‘field failures’ or customer ‘issues’. ~Ability to travel up to 10% of the time based on company need. ~Citizen or qualified U.5+ years of working experience in relevant industry. ~6+ years of experience generating PCB layout files and ordering of prototype assemblies. ~4+ years’ experience designing hardware testing systems for production. ~6+ years’ experience with first article design and testing. ~S. in electrical engineering or related discipline.
