Essential Functions: 

• Take responsibility for electrical design tasks including requirements analysis, specification generation, interface definition, component selection, circuit simulation, schematic capture, and board layout
• Provide technical responsibility for schedule, cost, at the board or subsystem level
• Support power designs for all circuit card assemblies (Digital, Power, RF, misc. CCAs)
• Design and specify magnetic components
• Electrical design integration at the board or subsystem level
• Simulate, breadboard, test and troubleshoot analog and power conversion circuits and subsystems
• Identify high risk circuits functions to simulate and prototype/breadboard before creation of full design
• Develop test plans and procedures for power subsystems and all relevant documentation for design description and requirements
• Participate and present in peer reviews, PDRs, CDRs and other required design reviews
• Participate in risk assessment and develop mitigation strategies
• Interface with interdisciplinary design teams and reviews
