Senior Embedded Electrical Engineer

Molex is seeking an experienced Senior Embedded Electrical Engineer to join our team in Naperville, IL.

This role is responsible for specifying, architecting, designing and verifying electronic devices based on microcontrollers, sensors and radios.

These IOT based designs are for the purpose of creating solutions for our customers in the marketplace of medical/wearable sensors, tracking devices, loggers, tags, and smart labels.

This person will have knowledge of wireless interfaces such as Near Field Communications (NFC), Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Wi-Fi, and low bandwidth LTE-M cellular.

This person is interested in designing battery-powered electronics that utilize very low power modes to extend the life of the battery.

This person can select the components, design the schematic, guide efficient board layout, and bench level test the result.

This candidate enjoys the design challenge and investigates issues to improve the design based on previous design experience.

This role reports into the engineering team and works directly with other design engineers, mechanical engineers, layout engineers, and test engineers.

This person leads the electrical and software aspects of projects.

This candidate understands the importance of documenting and following a documented product development process.

Product focus areas include BLE smart labels and wearable skin patches.

Our design team focuses on developing silver printed electronic devices, flexible polyimide copper circuits and standard FR4 based design.

We assist customers in the development of unique flexible hybrid electronics.
