Principal Electrical Engineer

Holbrook, NY

The Company

Join a well-established and growing technology company with a diverse product portfolio, strong customer base, advanced engineering capabilities, and a collaborative work environment. This is an opportunity to take on a highly visible technical leadership role while working on complex electronic systems designed for demanding applications.

Why This Company Stands Out

• Principal-level technical ownership across the complete product lifecycle.

• Work on complex analog, digital, power electronics, and control systems.

• Exposure to harsh-environment and mission-critical applications.

• Opportunity to influence architecture, design decisions, and engineering standards.

• Highly hands-on role with direct involvement in design, analysis, troubleshooting, and product sustainment.

They Value and Appreciate Their Employees

• Competitive benefits package

• Supportive and collaborative work environment

• Opportunities for professional growth and technical development

• Stable, established organization with continued growth

• Opportunity to work with experienced engineers and multidisciplinary teams

• Strong emphasis on engineering excellence and innovation

Your Role with the Company

As a Principal Electrical Engineer, you will provide technical leadership across the entire product lifecycle—from requirements definition and system architecture through detailed design, qualification, manufacturing, production, and sustainment.

You will remain highly hands-on, developing and analyzing sophisticated analog, digital, power electronics, high-voltage, and control systems while guiding other engineers and helping establish technical direction.

Responsiblities

• Provide technical leadership from requirements and architecture through qualification, production, and sustainment.

• Design, analyze, simulate, and verify complex analog and digital electronic circuits for harsh-environment applications.

• Develop architectures incorporating A/D conversion, processors, microcontrollers, I/O, and communications interfaces.

• Design and analyze power electronics using MOSFET, IGBT, SiC, and GaN technologies.

• Develop and optimize DC/DC converter architectures for demanding applications.

• Perform thermal, electrical stress, worst-case, tolerance, aging, FMEA, EMI, and radiation analyses.

• Design high-power, high-voltage, and EMI-compliant PWB layouts.

• Apply control theory and digital control techniques to motor-control and power-control systems.

• Work with sensors including LVDTs, resolvers, and encoders.

• Develop and evaluate communication interfaces including CAN, RS-232/422/485, SPI, JTAG, PCI/PCIe, and 1G/10G Ethernet.

• Develop clear engineering requirements, specifications, design documentation, and technical review presentations.

• Evaluate complex tradeoffs involving performance, cost, schedule, reliability, manufacturability, and technical risk.

• Support prototype development, qualification, manufacturing, suppliers, and production through hands-on technical troubleshooting.

• Investigate difficult hardware problems and drive root-cause analysis and corrective actions.

• Support legacy products and identify opportunities for design improvements and product enhancements.
