As an Electronics Hardware Engineer at Volt, you will play a pivotal role in leading engineering project teams and supporting functions through your expertise in electronics hardware design and simulation systems. Your primary responsibility will be to interface with cross-functional peers to develop new offers or enhance existing products. You will be tasked with creating solutions tailored for both external customers, such as electricians and installers, and internal stakeholders, including marketing, industrialization, and quality assurance teams. In this role, you will assist in refining Marketing Offer Requirements and developing Technical Product Specifications. You will also be responsible for creating product architecture options and selection methods. Your project management skills will be essential as you define engineering work packages, develop project schedules, and estimate the resources required for various tasks. You will direct the efforts of electronics designers, technicians, and other resources to ensure project success. Effective communication is key, as you will need to present and summarize project updates to internal stakeholders clearly. You will facilitate the generation of prototypes for testing and author verification and validation test plans, including test methods and acceptance criteria. Additionally, you will oversee the development of the product definition file, which includes schematic capture, PCB and PCBA creation, BOM creation, and the development of other specifications, preferably using the Cadence tool suite. Your role will also involve analyzing risks associated with safety products, quantifying these risks, and developing mitigation strategies using A/D/T/P FMEA and FTA techniques. You will be capable of developing, debugging, analyzing, and conducting root cause analysis for hardware and embedded systems from proof of concept through development, production, and customer support. Furthermore, you will contribute to the development of user documentation, such as instruction bulletins, safety labels, and product markings, and synthesize third-party standards into product requirements, with familiarity in UL/CSA/IEC standards being desirable.
