Principal Engineer

Job Title Electrical Engineer Principle - Copper & Hybrid Fiber‑Power Systems Job Summary We are seeking an Electrical Engineer (10+ years experience) to join a small, highly collaborative engineering team working on copper Ethernet cabling systems and hybrid fiber‑power solutions. This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys a hands‑on, broad technical scope and thrives in a dynamic, fast‑moving development environment. The successful candidate will contribute across the full product lifecycle—from concept and analysis through testing, documentation, and field support—acting as a technical generalist with depth in electrical engineering fundamentals. Key Responsibilities Technical Engineering & Development Support the design, analysis, and validation of copper Ethernet cabling systems, including twisted‑pair performance characteristics (impedance, insertion loss, crosstalk, return loss, etc.) Contribute to the development and evaluation of hybrid fiber‑power (HFP/FMPS) and powered communications systems, including power delivery, protection, and integration considerations Assist with electrical modeling, simulation, and lab measurement of cables, connectors, and system‑level performance Participate in failure analysis and root‑cause investigations related to electrical and signal‑integrity issues Testing & Validation Conduct and document laboratory testing (electrical, thermal, environmental, and EMC‑related tests) Use network analyzers, oscilloscopes, power supplies, data loggers, and related instrumentation Support development and execution of test plans aligned with industry standards (TIA, IEEE, IEC, UL, NEC, and ect. as applicable) Cross‑Functional Collaboration Work closely with mechanical, manufacturing, quality, and compliance teams Support interaction with suppliers, contract manufacturers, and field personnel Assist with preparation of technical documentation, drawings, reports, and internal design reviews Continuous Learning & Support Stay current with evolving Ethernet, cabling, and power‑delivery technologies Support Product Development‑related activities and product qualification efforts Support standards development through participation and contribution Support the industry through peer reviewed publication Provide technical assistance during prototyping, pilot builds, and early deployments Required Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (required; other degrees not considered) 10+ years of relevant engineering experience (entry‑level candidates encouraged to apply) Strong foundation in: Circuit analysis Electromagnetics and signal integrity AC/DC power fundamentals RF principles Ability to work effectively in a small‑team, multi‑disciplinary environment Willingness to be hands‑on in both lab and office settings Strong written and verbal communication skills Preferred / Nice‑to‑Have Qualifications Exposure to structured cabling systems, Ethernet PHYs, or high‑speed copper links Familiarity with: Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs) Time‑domain reflectometry (TDR) Power electronics or fault‑managed power concepts Experience with MATLAB, Python, or similar tools for data analysis Awareness of

TIA, IEEE

802, UL, NEC, or IEC standards Ideal Candidate Profile The ideal candidate is: Curious and adaptable a technical generalist comfortable wearing multiple hats Comfortable moving between analysis, testing, documentation, and troubleshooting Motivated by real‑world engineering problems rather than narrow specialization Interested in working close to the hardware and understanding how systems behave end‑to‑end Work Environment Small, collaborative engineering team backed by a large enterprise Mix of hands‑on laboratory work and analytical/problem‑solving tasks Exposure to both product development and standards‑driven engineering
