Overview
Electrical Engineer II – Sustaining Engineering. Location: Lincolnshire, IL. Shift: Day, 8am–5pm. Duration: 6 months with possible temp-to-hire. Updated: entry-level/intermediate with ~2–5 years of experience. Responsibilities
Support Existing Products: investigate and resolve electrical issues in current production and products in the field; analyze root causes and implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPA). Design Improvements: recommend and implement circuit and PCB design enhancements to improve product reliability, manufacturability, and cost-efficiency; perform tolerance analysis of electrical components. Change Management: prepare and process Manufacturing and Engineering Change Orders (MCOs/ECOs); maintain and update product documentation including schematics, BOMs, and PCB layout files. Cross-Functional Collaboration: work closely with mechanical engineering, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and customer service teams to address technical issues; participate in design reviews, failure investigations, and continuous improvement projects. Testing & Validation: develop and execute test protocols for electronic components, circuits, and systems; evaluate returned product failures, perform electrical analysis, and provide detailed reports with proposed solutions; collaborate with suppliers to resolve electrical component quality or obsolescence issues; review and approve supplier drawing changes and deviations as needed. Compliance & Standards: ensure product compliance with relevant industry standards, regulations, and internal requirements; support documentation and testing for agency certifications (e.g., UL, CE); assist in sustaining projects from initiation through release; manage small-to-medium projects or portions of larger projects independently with moderate supervision. Minimum Qualifications
Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field. Experience: 2+ years of experience in electrical/electronic design, manufacturing support, or sustaining engineering; hands-on experience with electromechanical systems, PCBAs or embedded electronics. Design Tools: working knowledge with PCB CAD tools; working knowledge of schematics design, circuit analysis, and electrical documentation standards; experience creating and processing Engineering Change Orders (ECOs), Bills of Materials (BOMs), and design documentation. Problem Solving: ability to troubleshoot circuit and system-level electrical failures and implement CAPA; familiarity with root cause analysis tools such as 5 Whys, Fishbone diagrams, or FMEA. Communication: strong written and verbal communication skills; able to collaborate with cross-functional teams including mechanical engineering, manufacturing, quality, and procurement. Software Tools: basic proficiency with Microsoft Office (Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook); experience using Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems (e.g., Windchill, Arena, Agile). Preferred Qualifications
Industry Experience: experience supporting or designing printers, copiers, or other electromechanical office equipment; familiarity with high-volume manufacturing and PCBA assembly process. Testing & Validation: experience developing and executing mechanical test plans and validation protocols; hands-on experience with lab equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, power analyzers, signal generators). Cost and Quality Focus: background in component cost reduction, reliability improvement, or vendor quality improvement projects; experience working directly with suppliers to resolve part issues and approve alternate components. Regulatory Knowledge: familiarity with compliance standards such as RoHS, REACH, or UL certifications relevant to printers or electronic equipment.
