Electrical Engineering CO-OP - Fall 2022

IEC is pursuing an electrical engineer / electrical engineering technology co-op looking to work

within the field of electrical engineering. The electrical department is involved throughout the

lifecycle of IEC’s products from prototyping to troubleshooting designs and the number of

engineers assigned to each project is project dependent. The candidate’s responsibilities depend

on situation but involve a wide skillset within the discipline such as: documentation, assembly, and

troubleshooting. They may be operating independently, together with other electrical engineers, or

alongside other disciplines to solve the task at hand. Time will be spent both in design &

documentation as well as assembling various components so they should be comfortable working

hands-on.

Requirements:

• Solid understanding of the fundamentals of electronics

• Capable of reading and understanding schematic diagrams.

• Strong critical thinking / troubleshooting skills

• Hands-on experience with test equipment such as power supplies, multi-meters

(oscilloscopes preferred as well)

• Knowledge or hands-on experience in one or more of following circuits is desirable:

o Serial Communication (RS-232, RS-485, RS-422, UART, etc.)

o Analog Circuitry (Buffering, Filtering, Single vs Differential Signaling)

o Digital Circuitry (Logic, Microcontrollers, Bus Topologies)

o Power Regulation and Components (Linear, Switching, BJT vs FET)

o Motors and Motor Controls (Brushed, Brushless, Quadrature Encoders, etc.)

Duties:

• Develop test fixtures to support engineering and production processes.

• Work within CAD software to document wire harnesses, fixtures, and system designs

• Assemble prototypes, fixtures, and wire harnesses by following IEC or vendor

documentation.

• Troubleshooting at various points in design (board, wire harness, system, etc.)

• Use Engineering Change Processes to execute change orders on designs and if

necessary, validate the change through assembly and testing.

• PCB schematic design and board layout

• PCB prototype assembly or modification including thru-hole and surface mount rework.

• Help identify and develop test and design changes through discovery and critical thinking.

Relocation Assistance: None. 

Hourly Pay: Dependent upon experience.

Education: Pursuit of a Bachelor’s Degree (or greater) in Electrical Engineering or Electrical Engineering

Technology
