Your core tasks will entail the development of electrical component design solutions. Under the direction of senior Electrical Engineers, responsibilities include supporting the development and defense of impact assessments, vetting design solutions through program boards/reviews, participating in proof-of-concept activities, and adhering to program procedures. Accountability and active participation in team scrum meetings and internal/external demos, and documenting progress on team dashboards is expected.
