Integrated Solutions Engineer

=================================

About the Role

==================

Contec Americas is looking for an Integrated Solutions Engineer to design, build, and support the integrated hardware and software systems our customers rely on. You will take products from research and specification through prototyping, installation, and production release. You will also work with our sales team on proposals, and with customers and suppliers to solve technical problems.

This is a hands-on role. You will split your time between the engineering lab, project teams, and customer and supplier conversations.

What You'll Do

------------------

• Research technical solutions for customer applications. Design enablement plans and configuration specifications that meet customer requirements.
• Do PCB-level design and development for computing platform, display, and electromechanical assembly projects.
• Apply your knowledge of ARM-based processors, AI accelerators, and FPGAs (including VHDL) to design, configure, test, and troubleshoot computing platforms.
• Build Intel- and AMD-compatible systems from the component level to finished assembly. Build, test, and document electromechanical assemblies.
• Install and functionally test Windows, Linux, Android, and QNX operating systems.
• Prototype and test proposed solutions for feasibility, reliability, and quality.
• Work as part of an Engineering Project Team to bring new computing platforms, displays, and assemblies to production release. Your work may include:

+ Project management

+ Hardware, OS, and application software configuration

+ Functional and validation testing

+ Production test configuration support

+ Packaging design and test

• Troubleshoot hardware and OS issues for customers and Manufacturing, and support production-released platforms.
• Write clear work instructions and engineering notes so Proof of Concept and Pre-Production configurations can be reproduced accurately.
• Give sales teams technical information, requirements, and cost estimates for proposals, quotes, and statements of work. Create new product configurations for customer proposals.
• Take part in customer quarterly business reviews (QBRs), supplier training, and industry conferences.
• Keep all documentation compliant with our ISO quality system.

What You Bring

Required

• A Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering Technology, or a related field, plus at least 2 years of experience in electrical engineering, mechatronics, computer hardware, software, and operating systems. Or 10 years of relevant experience.
• Ability to interpret complex technical documentation, including specifications, schematics, datasheets, and quality procedures. We operate in an ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 environment.
• Proficiency installing, configuring, and troubleshooting Windows, Linux, Android, and QNX.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook), including costing models and spreadsheet analysis.
• Strong written and verbal communication, and a systematic approach to root-cause problem solving.
• A valid driver's license.
• Ability to pass a background check and drug screening. No security clearance required!

Preferred

• Project Management or Agile certification.
• Experience with ARM-based architectures, AI accelerators, FPGA design with VHDL, and PCB-level design.

Work Environment and Physical Requirements

----------------------------------------------

You will work mainly in an office and engineering lab, and regularly support manufacturing areas where ESD controls and hazardous materials communication procedures apply. Travel of up to 10% to customer and supplier sites may be required. On-site visits are strongly encouraged, though some QBRs may be virtual.

The role involves sitting, standing, walking, and fine hand work. You must be able to occasionally lift or move up to 25 pounds. It requires close, distance, color, peripheral, and depth vision, and the ability to adjust focus.
