Job Description

Electrical Hardware Engineer – Norton Shores, MI

DISHER is partnering with a leading U.S.-based designer and manufacturer of LED lighting solutions to add an Electrical Hardware Engineer to their growing team. The Electrical Hardware Engineer is responsible for the design, layout, build, and validation of LED based lighting fixtures for machine vision applications. As an individual contributor, you will own hardware design tasks from concept through production release, working closely with mechanical, software, optical, and test engineering peers to deliver reliable, manufacturable products. You will spend significant time at the bench building, measuring, and troubleshooting, and will produce the schematics, layouts, and documentation that support their products throughout their lifecycle.

What it’s like to work here

The culture is built on five core values: Own It, Lift Others, Build Together, Do the Right Thing, and Raise the Bar. Teams take full ownership of their work from concept through production release, collaborating closely across mechanical, electrical, optical, firmware, test, manufacturing, and quality disciplines to deliver integrated, manufacturable products. Work is hands-on and practical and engineers build, test, and refine real products side by side, supporting one another and raising the standard on every build.

What you will get to do:

Design analog and digital circuits for LED lighting products, including LED drivers, power conversion, signal conditioning, and control interfaces
Create schematics and PCB layouts applying sound practices for signal integrity, thermal performance, and EMC
Select components and define circuit architecture with documented rationale on cost, availability, and lifecycle
Apply thermal analysis and thermal management techniques for high-output LED systems
Build, bring up, and debug prototypes hands-on at the bench; conduct design validation testing
Perform failure analysis and root cause investigation on prototype, pilot, and field-returned units
Design to safety and regulatory standards (UL, CE, FCC); support compliance packages and certification testing
Develop BOMs, work instructions, and manufacturing documentation for new and revised designs
Collaborate cross-functionally with mechanical, firmware, optical, test, and manufacturing teams
Document test plans, validation reports, and engineering records in a clear, repeatable format

What will make you successful:

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering highly preferred
3+ years of electrical hardware design experience, concept through production release
Proficiency in PCB CAD tools (Altium, Eagle, KiCad, or OrCAD) for schematic capture and PCBA layout
Working knowledge of LED technology, LED drivers, and switch-mode power supplies (or comparable analog/power electronics)
Experience with thermal analysis and thermal management in electronic assemblies
Proficiency with lab equipment: oscilloscopes, power supplies, electronic loads, DMMs, thermal imaging
Skilled in soldering and circuit assembly, including fine-pitch and surface-mount rework
Circuit troubleshooting, failure analysis, and EMC/EMI compliance design practices
Analytical circuit calculation skills (power dissipation, thermal derating, tolerance/worst-case) using Mathcad, MATLAB, Python, or similar
Strong verbal/written communication; self-directed and able to manage multiple priorities
