Rockwell Automation is doing things never before possible . We connect the imaginations of people with the potential of technology to make the world more intelligent, more connected and more productive.

We help the world work better and people work smarter and are looking for bright minds to make that happen. The makers, the forward thinkers, the problem solvers. That's where you come in.

As an Electronic Simulation Project Engineer, you will be part of a central team focused on new product development. This includes Electromagnetic Compliance, Signal Integrity and Power Integrity requirements, having a direct impact on product quality and reliability. You will partner with global Rockwell Automation system architects, electronic designers and PCB designers. You will provide recommendations and consulting services to SIC engineers on all aspects of EMC/SI/PI design and troubleshooting. Opportunities will exist to educate others, grow your own skills and advance simulation.

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:

• Sets the Simulation and Design strategy for assigned projects independently
• Develops methods and procedures for the SIC EE team.
• Provides advice, consultation and training for members of the SIC EE team and other departments.
• Communicates project status, concepts and issues and matches the message to the audience
• Manages large complexity projects independently
• Works with architecture and design teams to evaluate design tradeoffs for design optimization considering performance, cost and manufacturability requirements
• Drives process improvements to increase team capabilities and efficiency
• Leads investigation in new tools and technology
• Generates and verifies layout guidelines at board and system level
• Independently designs PCB stack-up
• Independently identifies potential design issues and provides options for solutions
• Independent success with gigabit and higher speed channel analysis.
• Validates simulations in the lab and determines if design specifications are met
• Documents simulation and validation results
• Evaluates lab instrumentation and recommends new equipment
• Manages team members who are responsible for implementing project tasks
• Mentors and evaluates performance of team members and helps establish development plans
• Participates in interviewing candidates
• Effectively presents to large groups

Basic Qualifications
