You will own the hardware for new hygienic sensors and measurement systems end to end: architecture, schematics, PCB layout and routing (done yourself), board bring-up, and UL, CSA, CE and EMC certification. Our products run 24/7 in food, beverage and pharmaceutical plants, so we need someone who designs for compliance from day one.\nKey Responsibilities\nNew product design, concept to production\nOwn new product electronics from a clean sheet: requirements, architecture, component selection, schematics, prototypes and production release\n\nDesign analog, mixed-signal, power and microcontroller circuits for industrial sensing (RTD/NTC, 4-20 mA, HART, industrial I/O), with simulation, worst-case analysis and derating\n\nLead and participate in schematic and PCB design reviews\n\nPCB layout and routing (hands-on ownership)\nPersonally lay out and route your boards; layout is not handed off to another group or service bureau\n\nOwn the PCB end to end: placement, stack-up, multilayer routing (mixed-signal, power, high-voltage, controlled impedance), libraries, design rules and fab/assembly outputs\n\nWork with fabricators and contract manufacturers on DFM, DFT, Gerber/BOM reviews, prototype builds and production ramp-up\n\nDesign for compliance and certification\nDesign to UL, CSA and CE (LVD, EMC, RoHS) from the first schematic, applying UL/IEC 61010-1 safety rules (creepage, clearance, isolation, fault conditions) and IEC 61326-1 / IEC 61000-4-x immunity\n\nRun pre-compliance testing, work with third-party labs (UL, CSA, TÜV, Intertek) through certification, and maintain technical files and critical component lists\n\nValidation, sustaining and collaboration\nBring up and validate new boards using oscilloscopes, spectrum, logic and power analyzers; write and execute DVT plans, including environmental testing\n\nSupport the manufacturing production floor as part of sustainment: be on hand to resolve build and test issues, assist with troubleshooting, and lead root cause analysis of hardware, manufacturing and field failures\n\nDrive reliability, cost and obsolescence redesigns while protecting existing UL/CSA/CE listings\n\nWork closely with mechanical, firmware, manufacturing, quality and product management, and communicate design intent to vendors and certification bodies\n\nRequired Qualifications\nBS in Electrical Engineering (MS preferred) and 5+ years of hands-on hardware design on industrial or similarly regulated products\n\nProven ownership of at least two electronic products from concept through production, designed from scratch rather than modified\n\nHands-on PCB layout and routing: you have personally routed multilayer boards that went into production (Altium, KiCad or similar)\n\nDirect experience taking a product through UL, CSA and/or CE certification, including resolving safety and EMC findings with test labs\n\nWorking knowledge of safety (UL/IEC 61010-1, UL 508, IEC 62368-1) and EMC (IEC 61326-1, IEC 61000-4-x, CISPR 11) standards\n\nStrong grasp of analog and mixed-signal design, microcontroller systems, power supplies and isolation, signal conditioning, and circuit protection (ESD, surge, transients)\n\nExperience with board bring-up, debugging, lab instrumentation, and PCB/contract manufacturers\n\nBe ready to walk us through a product you designed, layouts you routed, and the certifications it earned\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nIndustrial instrumentation or sensor experience (temperature, pressure, level, flow, weighing)\n\nIndustrial protocols: 4-20 mA/HART, IO-Link, Modbus, PROFINET or EtherNet/IP\n\nHygienic processing environments (food, beverage, pharma; 3-A, EHEDG) and harsh[1]environment design (washdown, IP67/IP69K)\n\nHazardous location (ATEX/IECEx, Class I Div 2), functional safety (IEC 61508), or MID/NTEP experience\n\nRF, wireless or IoT connectivity with FCC/RED compliance\n\nExperience leading design reviews or mentoring engineers","description_format":"text","description_chars":4074,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Sensors & Transducers","Test & Measurement Instruments"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-12T23:47:51Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":34,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-13T00:56:33Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/ralliant-electrical-hardware-design-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/ralliant-electrical-hardware-design-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-13T00:56:33Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2123,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-14T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2241821},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2241821"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fralliant-electrical-hardware-design-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fralliant-electrical-hardware-design-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fralliant-electrical-hardware-design-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/ralliant-electrical-hardware-design-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fralliant-electrical-hardware-design-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4206488}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"ralliant.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4206488},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people);
