Trimble is looking for a passionate problem-solver like you to architect and validate next-generation electrical designs that thrive in the harshest environments. We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Electrical Engineer specializing in embedded systems and sensors to architect, implement, and validate electrical designs for advanced machine control applications. In this role, you will lead the development of inertial sensor technology (IMUs) from initial prototyping through to production. You will collaborate closely with system, controls, firmware, and mechanical teams to deliver robust hardware solutions capable of thriving in harsh, high-vibration, and weather-exposed environments. Additionally, you will drive circuit analysis, lead design reviews, establish rigorous validation test plans, and ensure seamless transition of products to manufacturing.
Job Responsibility
IMU System Design & Hardware Engineering - Circuit Design & Analysis: Architect and implement PCB-level sensor interface circuitry, including power regulation, EMI shielding, and noise isolation tailored for harsh environments
Sensor Selection & Evaluation: Select, evaluate, and qualify IMU hardware components (accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetometers) from external vendors against strict performance criteria (bias stability, noise density, vibration tolerance)
Algorithmic Integration: Support the development of signal conditioning, filtering (Kalman, complementary, Madgwick), and sensor fusion middleware to deliver accurate orientation data
Calibration, Testing & Validation - Test Procedures & Fixtures: Design and comprehensive validation test plans covering static/dynamic accuracy, thermal cycling, vibration endurance, and environmental testing
Data Analysis: Utilize simulation and analysis tools to evaluate design performance and drive iterative improvements
Production Readiness: Define factory and in-field calibration procedures. Generate Engineering Change Notices (ECNs) and design production-level test fixtures to support the successful transition of products to manufacturing
Technical Non Managerial Leadership, Compliance & Documentation - Technical Leadership: Assume a leadership role in resolving complex technical problems. Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers and technicians
Regulatory & Standards Compliance: Ensure designs comply with Functional Safety standards ISO 19014 and IEC 65108, CE/FCC/IC certifications, and OEM-specific guidelines. Support safety analyses such as FMEA
Documentation & Lifecycle Management: Produce and maintain high-quality circuit schematics, Bills of Materials (BOM), wiring harness specifications, and test reports
Stakeholder Communication: Lead and contribute to internal design reviews and present technical updates, program status, and design concepts to customers and cross-functional stakeholders
Requirements
Master of Science in Electrical Engineering (MSEE) or a Bachelor’s Degree (BSEE) with equivalent experience
5+ years of exposure to electronic circuit design, research, and debugging for embedded systems and sensors, with a strong focus on IMUs
robust expertise in analog and exposure to digital electronic circuit design, component research, and risk mitigation strategies
proven track record working with Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs), specifically with accelerometers and gyroscopes
strong communicator capable of writing technical specifications and presenting to customers and cross-functional stakeholders
experience designing Functional Safety products or transferable experience
proficiency in Matlab and SPICE (PSpice) simulation software, alongside familiarity with C and C++ firmware development
Nice to have
Experience using Agile PLM and Oracle ERP systems
advanced proficiency in MS Office or Google Workspace for BOM creation, statistical data analysis, and technical report writing
