Applied Technology is seeking a highly talented and technically strong person to fulfill an Electrical Hardware Engineering role.  In this technical position, the role will have unique and varied responsibilities. Candidates for this position are engineers with diverse knowledge and a wide variety of interests.  As a key resource across multiple products, the successful candidate will handle these type of tasks:

• 5+ years experience designing low power digital and analog circuits

• Experience with microprocessors, memory, power supplies, voltage regulators, batteries, charging, peripherals, sensors, and various hw interfaces (USB, MIPI, SPI, I2C), peripherals

• Design and optimize circuits for minimal current drain consumption to maximize battery life

• Generate schematics that include microprocessors, FPGA, RF, analog, power circuits, interface logic, sensors, peripherals, etc.

• Use layout tools (Cadence a plus) for part placement and for optimal PCB routing of high speed interface, impedance matching, power routing, etc.

• Write test procedures, interface control documents and other documentation

• Support full product development life-cycle: architecture, design, bring-up, integration of initial HW/SW, factory support, test & validation, and customer support

• Work collaboratively with all functional teams (hardware, RF, software, FPGA, mechanical)

• Be a flexible, results-oriented problem-solver who requires minimal supervision. Projects can vary greatly from one to the next, so you must thrive on variety and enjoy taking on new challenges.

• Be a member of a small (1-6 person) multi-disciplinary team, work directly with customers to develop product requirements and communicate technical status in meetings

• Candidate must be able to work onsite 5 days a week at the Schaumburg location 

Specific Skills/Knowledge:

• Electrical Hardware design of digital and analog circuits

• Knowledgeable in schematic capture & layout (Cadence a plus) and simulation tools (MATLAB, ADS, PSPICE, Sigrity, etc.) and lab automation (Python, LabView).

• Working knowledge of Embedded SW (C/C++) and ability to bring-up new embedded systems.

• Product & feature architecture development, requirements creation, and design and development experience

• Knowledge of lab equipment such as signal analyzers, signal generators, oscilloscopes, JTAG debuggers, soldering stations, etc.

• Self starter who can work without supervision and as a member of a team

• As you will be working in a small project team and regularly interacting with customers, excellent communication and teamwork skills are essential.
