Power Supply Design Engineer - REF2680I

About the position

This position is for an Electronics Design Engineer who will work in the high voltage power supply group reporting to the Electrical Engineering Manager. The ideal candidate will have a working knowledge of micro power supply design, analog circuitry, embedded systems, etc. Responsibilities will include the design of new high voltage micro power supplies, starting from the product concept, to breadboard proof of circuitry, to prototypes, and release to production. These devices are high voltage, low current designs typically 50-200 mW. The work includes preparation of project proposals; circuit design and analysis; PC board layout concept & requirements; mechanical design supervision and concept formulation; stress and reliability analysis of circuitry; component specification, de-rating and selection; cost analysis; and preparation of product documentation. The individual will be responsible for the design of new products and the upgrading of existing products to reduce cost, add features, improve performance & reliability, and to incorporate embedded technology in those designs. Experience with SPICE and design software, circuit miniaturization, and high voltage technology are highly preferred. This position requires strong communications skills (verbal and written), that are carried out in a timely manner, and that may include daily interaction with engineers at other Elbit Systems of America locations. The candidate may be required to prepare and maintain project schedules, and to supervise the activities of electronics technicians and interns. The individual will be expected to work in a hands-on manner and to provide one-on-one mentoring of technicians and interns.
