As an Analog Hardware Engineer for Critical Infrastructure Communications (CIC) at GE Grid Solutions, you will be responsible for designing industry-leading solutions for industrial grade wired and wireless communications products. CIC is seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer who is team-oriented, can thrive in the critical path, and has a demonstrated track record of bringing a broad range of products from concept to production.

**About us**:
**Roles and Responsibilities**:

- Complete the analysis and design of analog and mixed-signal communications circuitry including low frequency power amplifiers, line drivers, active/passive filters, A/D, and D/A conversion considering EMC, thermal, mechanical, and electrical safety constraints.
- Perform sustaining engineer activities for legacy teleprotection products by mitigating component shortages through qualifying alternatives or redesigning circuits and sub-assemblies to address obsolescence.
- Distill product requirements into technical requirements, estimate scope of work, and develop hardware concept designs as required to meet project deadlines.
- Model HW circuitry for filters, power amplifiers, and transmit/receive chains.
- Work onsite with a team of Electrical and Embedded Firmware Engineers in an office/lab environment.
- Ensure compliance to product safety, emissions, and performance standards supporting 3rd party certification labs as needed.
- Support and troubleshoot existing product design deficiencies reported by customers and manufacturing.
- Demonstrate in-depth knowledge of hardware design and leverage technical experience to overcome complex design challenges.
- Provide support and specifications to Manufacturing and Test Engineering teams.

**Required Qualifications**:

- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering with 8-10 years of prior hardware design experience and product development ideally in telecommunication products.
- Minimum of 5 years of experience with analog hardware and power supply design.
- Minimum of 3 years of experience with communications standards including FCC, IC, ETSI, Anatel, and ACMA.
- Fluent in English and Français languages.

**Desired Characteristics**:

- Experience with multi-stage RF designs in the 20kHz to 100MHz frequency range.
- Experience with the design of narrowband receiver chains, LNAs, and other subcomponents.
- Experience designing, integrating, testing, and troubleshooting power supply circuitry spanning up to 370VDC and 300VAC.
- Experience with the analysis of Power Line Carrier communications systems.
- Experience with analog simulation circuit tools including AC/DC Analysis; SPICE preferred.
- Experience with communication interfaces and protocols (ex. IEC61850 GOOSE, C37.94, E1/T1, Ethernet, Optical).
- Experience with safety standards including EN62368-1 and EN6095-1.
- Proven knowledge of EMC and environmental standards required for CE Mark certification of telecommunication products.
- Ability to perform schematic and PCB layouts using ECAD software (ex. Altium Designer).
- Ability to multi-task, prioritize tasks, and quickly adapt in a fast-paced engineering environment.
- Ability to solder/desolder surface mount and through hole components using a soldering station and heat gun.
- Experience using signal generators, network analyzers, and spectrum analyzers.
- Ability to work collaboratively with an internation development team.
- Familiarity with MCU, SoC, and modem Integration.
- Familiarity with 4G LTE, 5G, and WiFi technologies.
- Demonstrated ability to work autonomously and collaborate with a team to resolve technical issues.
- Demonstrated ability to produce Hardware Design Specifications and other relevant design documentation.
- Strong interpersonal and leadership skills.
