An Electrical Engineer designs, develops, and tests products and systems that use or produce electricity, including power generators, electric motors, radar and navigation systems, and communication systems. Works on larger electrical systems rather than small electronic products or devices.
Techtronic Industries is a fast-growing world leader in Power Tools, Outdoor Power Equipment, Accessories, Hand Tools. The Company is committed to accelerating the transformation of these industries through superior environmentally friendly cordless technology. At TTi Anderson, our RYOBI brand is recognized worldwide for its deep heritage and cordless product platforms of superior quality, outstanding performance, safety, productivity, and compelling innovation. The Electrical Engineer II will lead the hardware design and implementation of embedded power electronics for battery-powered products, with a focus on power conversion and motor control . You will work through the product development process in a team environment interacting with cross-functional stakeholders such as hardware, firmware, product development, and test engineers. This position will sit onsite at our headquarters in Anderson, South Carolina.
Primary Job Functions:
Design and own power electronics hardware for battery-powered products, including architecture, schematic capture, component selection, and design tradeoffs Design and debug MOSFET switching power stages and supporting circuits (gate drive, protection, current/voltage sensing, power sequencing) for low-voltage and high-current applications Support motor control hardware implementations (e.g., inverter/bridge power stages and associated sensing/protection) and collaborate with firmware engineers on HW/FW interfaces Prototype, test, and troubleshoot embedded electronics; drive root cause and corrective actions using lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, power supplies, electronic loads, spectrum analyzers, ESD/EMC tools, data acquisition systems, and analysis software Lead the design activities including component selection, schematic capture, PCB layout, prototype builds, and test plan development and execution Effectively communicate and motivate up, down, and across the organization to a diverse range of technical and non-technical team members; drive urgency in schedules and accountability to meet key project metrics Independently track projects to ensure adherence to schedule and the TTi's stage-gate product development process in a fast-paced environment
Required Job Qualifications:
Bachelor of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering or related field 3+ years of experience in embedded electronics design with strong hardware ownership, including 32-bit microcontroller-based circuits (firmware exposure is a plus) Demonstrated design experience in power conversion and/or motor drives in embedded hardware implementations Demonstrated experience with MOSFET switching in low-voltage battery systems (20-80V class), including practical understanding of gate drive, switching behavior, and protection needs Knowledge of electronic component selection and design tradeoffs Experience with schematic capture and PCB design tools, and ability to support occasional PCB layout needs (e.g., Altium or equivalent) Self-motivated, organized, efficient, process oriented with a strong work ethic Excellent problem-solving skills, exercises independent judgement and works well under pressure in a dynamic environment Excellent communication and interpersonal skills Applicants must be authorized to work in the U.S.; Sponsorship is not available for this position at this time.
