Principal Electrical Engineer
jacobs management groupChester (NJ)
About the role
My client builds x-ray imaging systems that let engineers see inside what can't be taken apart, plus medical products that help clinicians and communities. As Principal Electrical Engineer, you'll own the electrical design of next-generation digital radiographic equipment from concept to production.
Why you should applyOwn complete electrical subsystems end-to-end, not just a single slice
Work hands-on across battery systems, PCB, and harness design
Senior technical-lead role with real ownership and IP contribution
Collaborate with mechanical, firmware, manufacturing, and supplier teams
What you'll be doing:
Design analog and digital circuits for digital radiographic detectors
Create schematics, PCB layouts, and design documentation
Run board bring-up, testing, debugging, and validation
Design wire and flex harnesses, including connector and terminal selection
Partner with firmware engineers on embedded integration; troubleshoot hardware issues
About you:
Be able to do the job as described.
You've led the electrical systems on multiple products, concept to production
You're fluent in embedded microprocessor design for ARM cores and DDR memory
You're a hands-on prototyper who builds PCBs, harnesses, and test fixtures
NDT or radiography experience is a strong plus
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
