Job Description

Fairmount Automation, Inc. is hiring a Senior Electrical Engineer to help design embedded microprocessor-based electronics and the associated PCB work for mission-critical U.S. Navy automation, control, and monitoring systems. This hybrid role in Conshohocken, PA involves real-time embedded system development, circuit and interface design, prototype testing, and hands-on troubleshooting through production and product support.

What you’ll do

Develop embedded microprocessor- and microcontroller-based systems running real-time operating systems.
Conduct trade studies to select electronic components for wide temperature-range operation and demanding environmental conditions.
Design analog and digital interfaces for sensors, actuators, communication devices, and other industrial control components.
Develop power supply, signal-conditioning, and processor/interface circuitry.
Perform circuit analysis and simulation to verify design performance.
Create electrical schematics and collaborate with a draftsman to generate PCB layouts for new and existing products.
Support PCB design reviews, manufacturing reviews, prototype builds, and production releases.
Apply design-for-manufacturability and design-for-test practices throughout product development.
Design electronic products intended for military and marine environments and support engineering principles needed to meet applicable military requirements and qualification testing.
Support design and qualification activities tied to standards including MIL-STD-461G, MIL-STD-901E, MIL-STD-167-1A, and MIL-STD-1399.
Troubleshoot issues found during environmental, EMI/EMC, vibration, shock, and system qualification testing.
Modify, debug, and evaluate prototype electronic assemblies.
Perform hands-on testing with oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, signal generators, power supplies, logic analyzers, and related laboratory equipment.
Execute component-level troubleshooting and rework, including soldering and PCB modification.
Develop test procedures and automated test and validation systems, then analyze results to drive design improvements.
Support troubleshooting of engineering prototypes, production hardware, and fielded equipment.
Participate across the product development lifecycle from initial concept through production and product support.
Produce clear electrical design documentation, specifications, test procedures, engineering drawings, and technical reports, while maintaining accurate design records for product configuration and manufacturing.
Work closely with software, mechanical, manufacturing, and systems engineers to resolve multidisciplinary engineering challenges.
Support production personnel and suppliers as products transition from engineering into manufacturing.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering.
Three or more years of experience designing and developing embedded electronic products.
Strong understanding of embedded system architecture, microprocessors, and microcontrollers.
Strong analog and digital circuit design skills.
Experience designing printed circuit boards and developing electrical schematics.
Experience interfacing microprocessors with analog and digital devices used in automation and control systems.
Hands-on experience troubleshooting electronic hardware using oscilloscopes, meters, signal generators, and related test equipment.
Ability to troubleshoot and modify prototype PCB assemblies, including soldering and component-level rework.
Strong technical documentation and communication skills.
Ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary engineering team including electrical, software, mechanical, and manufacturing engineers.
U.S. citizenship is required.
