• Writes and reviews test plans and test reports.
• Resolves safety and EMC approval issues for CE, CSA, FCC, etc.
• Performs feasibility studies, cost analyses, and simulations as required to assess the technical and economic viability of the concepts.
• Considers DFM (Design for Manufacturability) in all areas with a view to creating a volume production, high yield product while maintaining reliability.
• Creates tolerance stacks to determine the product can be assembled and will perform as intended when produced in production with all variations considered.
• Performs or considers FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis)
• Uses analysis and / or simulation to evaluate design options to meet performance, reliability and regulatory criteria.
• Works with multidisciplinary teams (Mechanical, Electrical, Software, Sales, Marketing, Production, QA, etc.) to innovate new products and resolve customer issues.
• Liaises and works collaboratively with external partners, suppliers, manufacturing and customers/representative to optimize the overall design and support / resolve design issues.
• Performs/Supports failure analysis of field returns and production failures.
• Creates new designs and supports existing designs and projects.
• Contributes to and follows the Product Development Process.
• Manages projects.
• Other duties as assigned. 

Qualifications:

• Bachelor of Electrical/Electronics Engineering, or equivalent.
• Eligible for or registered as a professional engineer in a relevant field is an asset.
• 3 years plus of relevant design experience in a manufacturing environment.
• Solid knowledge of engineering principles in power electronics, motor drives and controls, PCB layout, and EMC.
• Knowledge of Heat Transfer and Thermal Dynamics is an asset.
• Familiar with CAD tools and practices. Familiarity with Altium Designer, LTspice, Matlab, Simulink, PSIM, and SolidWorks is an asset.
