Hybrid opportunity - 3 days in office/week in Cranberry Township, PA
Join a multi-disciplinary product development team that sustains and improves Omnicell’s Automation hardware platforms with electromechanical content. In this role, you’ll own hardware sustaining and reliability initiatives—from component selection and schematic updates to verification testing and factory support—helping keep automation systems performing safely and reliably in real-world customer environments.
Responsibilities
- Drive sustaining engineering priorities to support manufacturing sites, supplier deviations, design change requests, and quality/reliability improvement projects
- Own electrical design updates for PCBAs, including requirements definition, component selection, schematic capture, design verification testing (DVT), and production functional test development
- Create and execute electrical test plans/protocols and generate test reports to confirm designs meet specifications and quality system requirements
- Perform feasibility studies for new or modified designs, selecting methods, techniques, and evaluation criteria within broadly defined practices and policies
- Lead hardware troubleshooting and root-cause investigations; propose and implement effective corrective and preventive actions
- Provide on-site support as needed (domestic and international) to evaluate field issues, support customers, and assist with new product start-up activities
- Estimate, manage, and communicate effort and status across multiple concurrent tasks
Required Knowledge & Skills
- Demonstrated ability to apply electrical engineering fundamentals to practical hardware problems (troubleshooting, validation, and sustaining updates)
- Experience with schematic capture and bill of materials (BOM) creation/maintenance; familiarity with engineering change workflows is a plus
- Understanding of how off-the-shelf robotic/electromechanical components interact and connect (power, signals, grounding, and interfaces)
- Strong problem-solving skills; able to work independently on sub-assemblies while effectively multitasking across priorities
- Strong interpersonal and communication skills (verbal and written); comfortable collaborating across engineering, manufacturing, suppliers, and quality teams
- Self-starter who builds strong cross-functional relationships and assists teams in debugging complex system issues
Basic Qualifications
- 2–3 years of experience in electrical engineering (robotics/electromechanical hardware experience is a plus)
- Working knowledge of PCB/PCBA development activities (schematics, component selection, BOMs, verification testing, and production test support)
- Basic familiarity with PCB design tools (e.g., Altium) or similar schematic capture/ECAD tools
- Ability to document work clearly (test plans, reports, and technical documentation) using standard productivity tools (e.g., Microsoft Office)
Preferred Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Robotics Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience)
- Experience supporting manufacturing or fielded products, including ECOs, supplier issue resolution, and reliability improvements
- Hands-on lab troubleshooting experience using common test equipment (e.g., oscilloscopes, DMMs, logic analyzers) and creating repeatable test setups/fixtures
Success in this Role (6–12 months)
- Independently troubleshoot PCBA and system-level electrical issues from symptom to root cause using lab tools and structured problem-solving
- Deliver sustaining changes (schematic/BOM updates, ECOs, and test updates) that improve reliability, reduce repeat defects, and support manufacturing throughput
- Produce clear test plans and concise reports that communicate results, risks, and recommendations to engineering, quality, and operations stakeholders
- Collaborate effectively with cross-functional partners (manufacturing, suppliers, quality, systems/software) to resolve issues and close corrective actions
