GIA (Gemological Institute of America)
Electrical Engineer
Benefits include medical, dental, vision, matching 401‑K plan, paid vacation, sick and holidays, tuition assistance, and commuter benefits.
Location Secaucus, New Jersey. This role requires on‑site presence due to the nature of the work.
Job Overview We are seeking a motivated and experienced Electrical Engineer to join our design team. The ideal candidate will contribute to the design, development, and implementation of cutting‑edge automated metrology systems and products. This role requires a strong understanding of electrical design required for automated instrumentation, with a focus on integrating multiple systems, cross‑linked with mechanical and software components to create innovative solutions for automated metrology systems.
Key Responsibilities
Design and develop electronics for automated instruments, including schematic capture, PCB layout review, and component selection.
Create and maintain documentation such as schematics, BOMs, wiring diagrams, and test procedures.
Design, develop, and test operational modules, components for automated metrology equipment.
Select, integrate, and validate electronic components, including sensors, microcontrollers, and power systems, into larger mechatronic systems.
Develop and implement control algorithms and schemes for motion control, position sensing, and other automated processes.
Build, test, and troubleshoot prototypes and production systems using lab equipment (oscilloscopes, DMMs, power supplies, etc.).
Support the full product lifecycle, helping transition designs from R&D to production and assisting with sustaining engineering.
Collaborate with cross‑functional teams (mechanical, software, optical) to integrate systems and meet project requirements.
Build, test, and troubleshoot prototypes to validate performance and identify design flaws.
Create detailed design specifications, schematics, and technical reports to document designs, test results, and operational procedures.
Assist with the manufacturing release of designs, ensuring they are manufacturable and meet quality standards.
Analyze and optimize existing metrology systems for improved performance, efficiency, and cost reduction.
Ensure all designs comply with relevant industry safety, regulatory, and quality standards.
Interface with vendors for sourcing and validating electronic components.
Participate in continuous improvement efforts, including root cause analysis and process optimization.
Required Skills And Experience
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or related field.
Minimum 5 years of experience as an electrical engineer working on electrical system design and component integration in the automated metrology field or mechatronics.
Strong understanding of metrology principles, control systems, signal processing and embedded systems.
Proficiency in embedded system fundamentals, including microcontrollers and hardware interfaces.
Experience with schematic capture tools (e.g., Altium Designer or similar).
Familiarity with Ethernet, CAN, or Modbus communication.
Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings and assembly diagrams.
Knowledge of 6‑layer PCB layout and routing principles.
Experience with programming languages such as C/C++.
Capability to design multilayered PCB microcontrollers, LED drivers, motor drivers and multiple power regulators.
Strong hands‑on skills with electronic prototyping and debugging.
Familiarity with industry‑standard communication protocols: UART, SPI, I2C, etc.
Good understanding of motors, sensors, relays, and industrial automation components.
Ability to assemble, test, and troubleshoot electronic systems.
Preferred Qualifications
Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or related field.
Experience working with imaging, lasers, optics, or spectroscopy systems.
Experience in coding and controlling robotic systems, vision systems and optoelectronics.
Familiarity with safety systems and standards (e.g., UL, ANSI, IEC).
Knowledge of Python or MATLAB.
Knowledge of CAD and simulation software.
Soft Skills
Strong problem‑solving and analytical skills.
Detail‑oriented with a focus on quality and reliability.
Excellent communication skills—written and verbal.
Able to manage multiple tasks and prioritize effectively in a fast‑paced environment.
Team player who collaborates well with others while working independently when needed.
Physical Requirements For testing, debugging, and maintenance of instruments, the employee may be expected to inspect, probe, wire, install and uninstall components which require frequent use of hands and arms, standing, reaching, bending, crouching, and occasionally lifting or carrying weights up to 25 pounds. During the duties of this job, the employee is regularly required to talk or hear. Specific vision abilities required include close vision, distance vision, color vision, peripheral vision, depth perception, and the ability to adjust focus.
Work Environment The work environment is typically low to moderate noise levels.
Salary Range $95,000 – $135,000.
Equal Opportunity Employer All employment decisions are made without regard to unlawful considerations of race, sex, religion, national origin, age, disability, or any other legally protected status. Reasonable accommodations are available upon request.
Disclaimer This job description indicates in general terms the type and level of work performed as well as the typical responsibilities of employees in this classification and it may be changed by management at any time. Other duties may also apply. Nothing in this job description changes the at‑will employment relationship existing between the Company and its employees.
