At SPAN, we are building products to drive the rapid adoption of renewable energy and enable a more modern, flexible grid. Span’s smart panel replaces the standard electrical panel to become the center for connected power in the home, providing intelligent load-balancing and revolutionary edge-of-grid controls through the Span mobile app.
The Role
We are seeking an experienced and driven electrical engineer to own critical electronic design on SPAN’s next generation of products. As a senior design engineer, you will be responsible for developing state of the art energy management hardware that will ship to market and power people’s homes. You will own the design through all stages of development, collaborating with the R&D, Power Electronics, Mechanical, Test, and Manufacturing teams to bring your concept to life.
In this role, you will:
-
Own PCB/assembly designs with precision analog, power, and digital content.
-
Bring up, validate, and test the performance of PCBAs in the system.
-
Design or specify magnetic components and wire harness assemblies.
-
Collaborate with internal and external teams on specification of mechanical interfaces, thermal interfaces, and overall product function.
-
Be responsible for the design, development, production, testing, and maintenance of embedded systems.
-
Work with electrical engineers and firmware engineers to create embedded systems and drive the design of the compute platform and its periphery to ensure that hardware functions and software features are implemented.
-
Develop and validate highly robust repeatable power and analog circuit topologies.
-
Design power, mixed signal, and digital circuits and circuit components
-
Place and route PCB layouts to comply with creepage and clearance rules, high voltage safety concerns, high speed signal integrity requirements, low noise analog design best practices, EMC/EMI regulations, and thermal and mechanical design requirements.
-
Work with contract manufacturers throughout the full product lifecycle to ensure parts are made to specification and achieve our standards for product quality and yield.
