We are presently seeking an Electrical Engineer III who will be responsible for designing, testing and updating electronic systems, components, equipment, and subsystem for advanced light delivery products used in high power illumination applications. The individual in this role will work in a cross functional development team to design, evaluate and test electrical or electronic circuit and systems. The work is done independently and is reviewed at critical point. The scope of daily responsibilities covers the full product development life cycle, including feasibility study, prototype, design, development, system integration, production release, and manufacturing support.  The position follows a hybrid work model, requiring regular onsite attendance at our Mississauga location a minimum of four days per week. One remote workday per week may be available based on business needs.

Main Responsibilities:

• Accountable for completion of product development activities to meet design, budget, and schedule requirements. The final product needs to be cost effective to manufacture, compliant to appropriate compliance standards and meet or exceed customer expectations for safety, reliability, and performance.
• Responsible for detailed electrical and electronic circuit design, components’ capability analysis, and system function evaluation and verification, and material cost and timing estimation.
• Design schematics and PCB layouts of semiconductor device, electronics component, industrial control, LED/Laser driver, power distribution, sensor, wired and wireless communication, and signal processing by using Altium Designer or another EDA tool.
• Perform simulations, characterization, process modeling and integration with EDA tools to represent final product as close as possible in the development of new components and products.
• Conduct testing and troubleshooting in creative ways for prototype/Alpha/Beta products to provide effective solution to improve system performance.
• Devises solutions based on limited information and precedent and adapts existing approaches to resolve issues and improve performance and reduce cost for the released products. 
• Prepare design documentation, engineer report, and case analysis for product risk management, functional specifications, operational procedures, test plans, and design release package.
• Investigate electronic and electrical failures by assessing unusual circumstances and uses sophisticated analytical and problem-solving techniques to identify cause.
• Monitoring processes, systems and staff and punctually identifying problems and making recommendations and implementations for improvement. 
• Develop necessary test fixture/equipment with consideration of potential evolving into manufacturing test platform. Observing existing products and processes and making recommendations for improvement. 
• Showing initiative and keeping up-to-date on the latest research and new technologies, applying new knowledge to product design and improve products.
• Maintain professional and technical knowledge by attending educational workshops, reviewing professional publications, and participating in professional societies.
• Provide technical support to other development teams, manufacturing, and customer service.
• Representing the company at conferences and delivering presentations if required.
• Develop and maintain good relationships with internal team members as well as external vendors and contractors.

Requirements:

• 4-5 years of experience in electronics and electrical design, schematics, simulation, PCB layout, modeling, prototyping and test of electrical systems.
• Post-secondary education from recognized University with major in Electrical / Electronic Engineering or equivalent.
• Complete knowledge and full understanding of area of specialization, principles, and practices within a professional discipline.
• Ability to plan ahead and adapt to unforeseen situations.
• Extensive understanding of electronics and design software tools used to create design architecture and plans.
• Experience in electronic system and subsystem design of embedded processors, sensors, high power laser/LED driver, high power distribution, thermal modelling and simulation, SMPS and communication buses and protocols.
• Thorough understanding of the circuit board layout with regards to mixed signal and high-power signal integrity, noise and emissions reduction.
• Knowledge of PCB, DFM, DFT rules and IPC specifications.
• Knowledge with IEC standards for Medical, laser and/or industrial Devices: IEC 60601-1, IEC60601-1-2, IEC60825, IEC62471, IEC 61326 other CE Mark requirements such as Technical Documentation Files and ISO 14971.
• Strong analytical and excellent problem-solving skills.
• Proficiency in the use of electrical design tool and modeling software.
• Team player with the ability to work in a faced-paced multi-disciplined product development environment.
• Enhances relationships and networks with senior internal/external partners who are not familiar with the subject matter often requiring persuasion.
• Adapts style to differing audiences and often advises others on difficult matters.
