Electrical Engineer III Communications
Join a team where your engineering talent directly supports the people who protect and serve. At OTTO Engineering, we design and build innovative communications and power‑management products used by Public Safety professionals and Military teams around the world. You’ll help create rugged, reliable, and innovative products that professionals depend on every day. If you’re excited by meaningful engineering challenges and the chance to build technology that truly matters, this role is a great fit.
Our Electrical Engineer III will design circuitry for Communications and Power Management Products, working on concept through production product development and participating in the technical resolution of field and production issues. Prior experience in portable (battery‑powered) electronics, analog, audio, and digital circuitry is desired. The engineer should be able to work independently or as part of a team. Degree of supervision required to perform job duties should not exceed 20%.
Specifically, the Electrical Engineer III will:
Participate in the full product development life‑cycle: design, bring‑up, integration of initial HW/SW, factory support, test & validation, and customer support
Component specification and selection
Design digital interface logic, sensors, peripherals, microprocessors, memory, etc.
Design audio circuits (A/D & D/A converters, audio power amps, op‑amps, etc.)
Design analog circuitry including filters, FETs, power supplies (linear and switch‑mode regulators), and battery monitoring & charging
Evaluate and document product performance to customer specifications
Ongoing support of existing products (perform updates, assist with factory or customer issues)
Generate schematics using Altium CAD. Provide guidance to a Printed Circuit Board Designer for routing, high‑speed interface, impedance matching, power routing, EMC compliance, etc.
Generate Engineering Documentation: Schematics, BOMs, ECNs, Test Plans, and Specifications
Hands‑on design, troubleshooting, using oscilloscopes, DMMs, and other test equipment
Define and execute performance tests, reliability tests, EMC testing, and field failure analysis
Define requirements for circuit board level testing as well as end‑of‑line functional product testing, including selection of test equipment
Collaborate with cross‑functional teams including Sales, Quality, Mechanical, Firmware, and Manufacturing Engineers
Conduct and participate in design reviews and DFMEAs
Ensure compliance with industry standards including collaboration with test labs and regulatory agencies
Help define project timelines and adherence to timelines
Assists with other related duties as required or assigned
