Design Engineer II – Electrical

**Position Title: Design Engineer II - ElectricalDepartment: EngineeringLocation: Lenexa, KS** **About AGI** AGI is a global food-based infrastructure company publicly traded in Canada. With over 3,800 employees and over 30 global manufacturing brands, AGI is a leading provider of equipment and technology solutions for agricultural commodities including seed, fertilizer, grain and feed systems and an expanding platform for food processing facilities. **The Opportunity** The Design Engineer II – Electrical is responsible for owning and delivering electrical and embedded hardware subsystems within connected products. This role contributes to the design, development, validation, and support of PCB-based electronic systems throughout the hardware development lifecycle. This role also contributes to delivering connected hardware solutions that enable real-time farm and grain monitoring through integrated embedded systems. **Responsibilities:** - Own delivery of electrical subsystems from design through validation. - Generate schematics, PCB layouts, Bills-Of-Materials, and design documentation. - Execute hardware development lifecycle activities, including prototyping and testing. - Evaluate design tradeoffs to balance performance, cost, and complexity within the subsystem scope. - Perform internal product testing and evaluate products for compliance with design criteria. - Product validation and verification testing to ensure the product meets required standards (FCC, CE, CSA, UL/cUL, ATEX) and revise designs as needed. - Integrate electrical subsystems with firmware, sensors, and mechanical systems to ensure system-level performance. - Apply design principles, including manufacturability, reliability, and cost optimization, to develop robust solutions. - Identify technical risks and issues early and drive them to resolution. - Conduct analysis to find the root cause of hardware or low-level software design issues in existing or new products and generate detailed reports to document the findings and resolutions. - Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including firmware, mechanical, and manufacturing. - Contribute to technical design decisions within the assigned subsystem scope. **Requirements and Qualifications** - Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or related field, or equivalent experience. - 3–7 years of experience in electrical or embedded system design. - Experience designing embedded electronic systems and PCB-based hardware, including schematics and layout. - Understanding the hardware development lifecycle, including design, prototyping, validation, and support. - Experience hardware testing, debugging, and root cause analysis. - Familiarity with embedded systems, microcontrollers, and hardware/software interfaces. - Experience integrating electrical subsystems with firmware, sensors, and mechanical systems. - Understanding design principles, including manufacturability, reliability, and cost optimization. - Awareness of regulatory and compliance considerations for electronic systems. - Strong problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to diagnose and resolve technical issues within the scope. - Ability to evaluate design tradeoffs and make effective engineering decisions. - Ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment. - Strong communication skills and willingness to learn **Preferred Qualifications** - Experience with PCB design and electronic design tools (e.g., Altium, Eplan, or similar) - Experience with hardware validation, test equipment, and debugging tools. - Experience with microcontroller-based systems and embedded architecture. - Familiarity with communication interfaces (e.g., CAN, SPI, USB, Ethernet). - Experience with wireless-enabled systems (e.g., LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth). - Experience with EMI/EMC, ESD, and signal integrity considerations. - Experience supporting products through regulatory certification (UL, FCC, CSA, ATEX). - Experience working in industrial…
