ESS’s Advanced Materials businesses manufacture a wide variety of high-performance products, including fluorocarbons, hydrofluoroolefins, caprolactam, resins, ammonium sulfate fertilizer, phenol, specialty films, waxes, additives, advanced fibers, customized research chemicals and intermediates, and electronic materials and chemicals.

The Senior Electronics Engineer will be responsible for electronic design, layout and testing of optoelectronic sensors for Authentication Technologies programs for the Fine Chemicals business. The position will be located in Ft Washington, PA.

Authentication Technologies (AT) is part of the Fine Chemicals business unit and is a leader in the development of Authentication solutions for banknotes, coins, high value documents and materials packaging.

This is an opportunity for an engineer to lead the electronics design of optoelectronic sensor products. This includes high reliability designs that need to operate in difficult environments. The designs are mixtures of low noise analog circuits coupled to digital interfaces and laser optical source drivers. Work includes low EMI and EMC designs and layouts. Significant hands-on efforts are required with good data capture abilities. Many of the sensors are incorporated into customer machines, so the ability to resolve specification issues is important.

This engineer will be expected to work on a team to develop new concepts, develop intellectual property, support new project proposals, assess competitive technologies and products, and develop new technologies for future products. This will include understanding customer requirements, translating those into device and product requirements, performing trade studies, writing research and development proposals, project cost estimating, budgeting, and program management. The engineer must be technically creative, have strong organizational and communication skills, and able to work in a collaborative environment.

Responsibilities

• Leads electrical design efforts in a highly-dynamic team environment with strong customer focus
• Develop electrical systems (circuit modeling and layout) using the Mentor Graphics tool, and ability to work on analog to digital interfaces
• Work closely with optical, mechanical, and software engineers to develop robust, high-quality sensor solutions
• Responsible for delivery of one-off prototypes to support business efforts
• Leading electronics through maturation from concept development to engineering to production
• Works closely with technical teams at key customers – important to be able to develop trusting relationships with customers
• Develops a clear understanding of customer technical requirements, and is able to translate into plans to address, and involving multiple sites and external partners
• Generate new ideas and help drive technology development project pipeline
