Senior Level, Lead/Staff
$100/hr - $105/hr
10+ years expPTR Global is a leading provider of information technology and workforce solutions. They are seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer V to lead power analysis and validation for smart glasses cases, ensuring performance, reliability, and safety standards are met.
Responsibilities
Own power validation efforts for smart glasses case systems and subsystems, including defining validation plans, test coverage, and pass/fail criteria
Perform system-level electrical analysis of power rails, regulators, batteries/charging paths, and load behavior to identify inefficiencies, instability, and failure modes
Execute lab debugging and troubleshooting using industry-standard instrumentation (oscilloscopes, power meters, DMMs, logic analyzers, etc.) to root cause issues
Conduct comprehensive failure analysis of power-related issues, including electrical component failures, battery degradation, charging anomalies, and system-level power failures using advanced diagnostic techniques
Partner cross-functionally to translate observed power validation findings into actionable engineering improvements (design, firmware, test methodology, or process changes)
Supervise/guide simulation and validation activities where applicable, including correlation between lab results and expected performance
Support manufacturing and sustaining efforts by investigating power-related yield issues, field returns, and production test gaps; drive fixes and preventative actions
Ensure compliance with relevant operational, safety, and regulatory standards (e.g., EMC, safety), and support documentation needed for certification activities
Estimate scope, timeline, and resource needs for power validation workstreams; manage multiple tasks and priorities in a fast-paced environment
Create clear technical documentation including test procedures, validation reports, debug logs, design recommendations, and executive-friendly summaries
Qualification
Required
10+ years of experience as an Electrical Engineer with strong lab-based power validation and debugging experience
Proficiency with lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, power meters, multimeters, electronic loads, etc.)
Demonstrated strength in system-level electrical analysis and troubleshooting (power integrity, transient response, noise, efficiency, stability)
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a track record of driving issues to root cause and implementing durable fixes
Excellent documentation and communication skills, with the ability to explain complex electrical findings to cross-functional partners
Experience in consumer electronics, wearables, or similar industries (highly integrated systems, tight power/thermal constraints)
Familiarity with automated test systems and scripting (Python, LabVIEW, or similar) to improve validation throughput and repeatability through automation
Working knowledge of regulatory and safety considerations relevant to hardware products (EMC, safety, etc.)
Ability to work independently, prioritize effectively, and manage multiple concurrent validation/debug efforts
Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering (or related engineering field) required
Preferred
Experience developing or maintaining power validation methodologies for battery-powered wearable systems
Experience creating automated power characterization (power profiling, regression tests, long-run stability testing)
Experience supporting NPI/manufacturing validation and bridging lab validation to production test strategies
