R020443Machine Solutions is the premier provider of advanced equipment and services for the medical device, biopharmaceutical, and blood- and plasma-collection industries. We support our customers’ needs and growth by delivering quality and value through a wide breadth of products. Machine Solutions provides proprietary mechanical solutions to a variety of complex process, testing and device design challenges. Our equipment has become the industry standard for stent crimping, balloon catheter pleating and folding, catheter braiding and medical device manufacturing applications. As a pioneer in radio frequency technology, the company has continued to develop advancing technology for thermal forming, molding and welding plastic for medical manufacturing, biopharmaceutical, and blood- and plasma-processing applications. Our experienced team of engineers has been instrumental in automating manual processes that enable our customers to increase production volumes and profit margins, and we believe in providing a superior customer experience by designating resources to a dedicated aftermarket team that is always ready to provide technical service and process support. Machine Solutions is privately owned by BW Forsyth Partners, a Barry-Wehmiller company.BW Forsyth Partners is the investment arm of multibillion-dollar global manufacturing and engineering consulting firm Barry-Wehmiller. Established in 2009, BW Forsyth Partners blends Barry-Wehmiller’s unparalleled legacy of value creation and people-centric culture development with keen investing experience to help companies realize their true potential. With a focus limited to areas known well, BW Forsyth Partners seeks to partner with leadership teams to acquire small- to middle-market companies in the capital and component equipment, and professional services sectors. In each of our operating companies, BW Forsyth Partners deploys operational improvements and strategy development without compromising the autonomy, strategic vision and entrepreneurial spirit of their leadership teams.**Job Description:****GENERAL PURPOSE OF JOB:**The Principal Electrical Design Engineer leads and performs the design, development, and verification testing of advanced electrical and electronic systems for new product development efforts. This role serves as a technical authority in electrical engineering, detailed design, verification, and design transfer. The ideal candidate has deep expertise in circuit design, embedded systems, solid working knowledge of electrical safety and regulatory compliance, is passionate about driving innovation and design excellence and serves as the electrical design expert.**ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:*** Leads the strategic direction and vision for the electrical engineering design function, aligning it with the overall business objectives serving as the overall electrical design authority.* Performs and leads the electrical design and development of complex systems, including analog, digital, power, controls and mixed-signal circuits.* Own product electrical architecture from concept through production release.* Design, implemented, and optimized motion control systems for precision automation applications, including servo and stepper motor control.* Develop and review schematics, PCB layouts, and system interconnect diagrams using industry standard CAD tools, e.g. Cadence.* Perform detailed component selection, simulation, tolerance analysis, and failure mode evaluations (FMEA).* Direct, review and coach work of junior and mid-level engineers, providing technical mentorship and design guidance.* Collaborate closely with mechanical, software (firmware & GUI), and systems engineering teams to ensure seamless integration and system-level performance.* Define and execute electrical verification and validation test plans in alignment with design inputs and regulatory requirements.* Interface with manufacturing engineering to support design for manufacturability & testing and, and production test strategy development.* Ensure compliance with applicable safety, EMC, and regulatory standards (e.g., UL, IEC, FCC, ISO, CE).* Lead technical design reviews, risk assessments, and root cause analyses.* Support supplier selection, component qualification, and obsolescence management.* Contribute to continuous improvement of design processes, tools, and standards.* Ensures GMPs are followed in the product development cycle and mentors’ junior engineers in the proper usage GMPs and quality procedures.* Serve as an ad-hoc electrical design expert for other engineering functions.* Must be able to travel when the need arises.**QUALIFICATIONS:****Technical Skills:*** PID control algorithms to enhance system responsiveness and stability across multi-axis platforms.* Expertise with both analog and digital circuitry design.* Proficiency with schematic capture and PCB layout tools (e.g. Cadence).* Strong understanding of PLCs, microcontrollers (Beckhoff, Omron, Allen-Bradley, etc.).* FPGAs, sensors, and communication interfaces (I2C, CAN, Ethernet, Modbus, Profinet).* Experience and expertise with EMC design and testing, grounding, and shielding best practices.* Familiarity with safety-critical or regulated product environments (e.g., medical, aerospace, automotive).* Hands-on experience with laboratory testing, instrumentation, and debugging tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, etc.).* Proficiency with breadboard and prototype circuitry assembly.**Soft Skills:*** Strong leadership, communication, and mentoring abilities.* Excellent problem-solving and analytical thinking.* Collaborative and adaptable with cross-functional teams.* Setting up, maintaining and managing EE R&D lab space.**Preferred Qualifications*** Windows programming languages; .NET and WPF.* Solid working knowledge of RF design, circuit behavior and heating technology.* Experience with ISO 9001, 13485, IEC 61131-3, and 21 CFR 820 quality systems and design controls.* Knowledge of system engineering practices and requirements traceability.* Experience in reliability engineering and lifecycle analysis.* Project management or technical lead experience in multi-disciplinary programs.# :**Education:*** Master’s or Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field required.**Experience:*** 10+ years of experience in electrical product design and development, with at least 3 years in a technical leadership or principal engineer capacity, or 8+ years with a Master’s degree.* Proven track record of bringing products from concept through production.* Demonstrated expertise in analog and digital design, power management, and embedded systems.# Ability to read, analyze and interpret general business periodicals, professional journals, technical procedures, schematics, interconnects assembly and part drawings or governmental regulations. Ability to write reports, business correspondence and procedure manuals. Ability to present information and respond to questions from groups of managers, clients, and customers.**PHYSICAL DEMANDS:**With or without reasonable accommodation minimal time will be spent walking, stooping, kneeling, crouching. Some time will be spent standing, sitting, talking, and hearing, and using hands to handle, feel and reach. At times up to 50 pounds will need to be lifted. To effectively complete the tasks in this position the following vision requirements are needed:* Ability to adjust focus, ability to identify and distinguish colors,**WORK ENVIRONMENT:**Minimal time will be spent in wet or humid conditions, and near caustic or toxic chemicals. Some time will be spent working near moving mechanical parts. The noise level is moderate (examples: business offices with #J-18808-Ljbffr
