Local candidates only.

AMETEK is seeking a highly skilled and hands-on Electrical Engineer to deliver electronics designs and support sustaining engineering of released products. This role has a particular emphasis on board level troubleshooting, production support, component obsolescence management, and controlled engineering changes that maintain product performance, reliability, and manufacturability.

The successful candidate will work closely with other engineers, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Quality, and Document Control in a collaborative, fast-paced environment.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Take ownership of assigned electronic designs and act as a results-oriented team contributor supporting both new and released products
• Create, update and validate electronic designs as part of a new product development process or in response to needed design changes of a existing designs.
• Troubleshoot and resolve electronics hardware issues affecting manufacturing yield, reliability, and field performance of released products.
• Perform hands-on board-level debugging and failure analysis using schematics, PCB layouts, BOMs, and laboratory instrumentation.
• Support manufacturing floor activity by identifying electrical root causes, recommending corrective actions, and validating implemented solutions.
• Manage electronics component obsolescence, including identifying at-risk parts, sourcing alternates, and evaluating form, fit, and function compatibility.
• Implement electronics design changes to released hardware while preserving system architecture.
• Escalate system-level design concerns to Product Engineering as required while independently resolving component- and board-level issues.
• Build and modify breadboard and bench-level prototypes using existing hardware, and development boards.
• Work closely with Mechanical Engineering to integrate designs and modifications into fixtures, enclosures, and instrument assemblies.
• Author and process Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) for electronics hardware, component substitutions, and documentation updates.
• Collaborate closely with Document Control to maintain accurate revision control of schematics, BOMs, and associated documentation.
• Document troubleshooting activities, change rationale, and validation results clearly to support manufacturing and quality records.
• Support Operations, Supply Chain, and Quality during implementation of sustaining changes into production.

REQUIRED EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field required.
• 5–7 years of experience supporting released electrical hardware in production or sustaining engineering environments.
• Working knowledge of embedded software and programmable logic concepts, with experience using C/C++, C#, and/or hardware description languages (VHDL or Verilog) in support of microcontrollers, FPGAs, CPLDs, or similar devices.
• Strong understanding of analog and digital circuits with proven board-level troubleshooting expertise.
• Proficient in creating and interpreting schematics, PCB layouts, and BOMs using standard ECAD tools (e.g., Altium, OrCAD, or equivalent).
• Extensive hands-on experience using oscilloscopes, DMMs, logic analyzers, and related test equipment.
• Demonstrated experience managing component lifecycle and obsolescence issues.
• Familiarity with formal ECO, configuration management, and documentation control processes.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with emphasis on clear technical documentation.
