Job Description

We are seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer (Testing) to join a small, highly collaborative engineering team working on copper Ethernet cabling systems and hybrid fiber/copper 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 others 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

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering required

• 3-5+ years of relevant engineering experience

• Experience in Circuit analysis, Electromagnetics and signal integrity, AC/DC power fundamentals, RF principles is required.

• 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 Qualifications

• 10+ years of relevant engineering experience preferred

• 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

• Experience in Product Development, R&D, etc. a plus!

• Awareness of TIA, IEEE 802, UL, NEC, or IEC standards

• 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
