Seasoned Electrical Engineer - Hardware, Plymouth, MN

Req ID: 45767

Job Location (Short): Minneapolis, MN, USA

Employment Type: Full Time

Segment: Danfoss Power Solutions Segment

Job Category: R&D, Technology and Engineering

Work Location Type: On-site

The Impact You'll Make

Danfoss is on the lookout for curious, creative, “let’s-figure-this-out” Electrical Engineers to join our growing team. If you love solving complex problems, tinkering with new tech, and celebrating small wins with a supportive crew of fellow engineers, you’ll fit right in.

In this role, you’ll put your engineering degree and PCB expertise to work developing new product features, enhancing existing ones, and ensuring our technology operates at peak performance. You’ll dive into schematics, PCB layouts, and mechanical drawings, leveraging tools like Altium Designer and NX to bring ideas to life. Your strong grasp of advanced math concepts and hands-on experience with digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, RF tools, and power supplies will help you troubleshoot and innovate with confidence.

Beyond design, you’ll act as a technical resource for sales, production, quality, and procurement teams—because around here, engineering doesn’t happen in a vacuum (even if we do sometimes test things in one). If you’re ready to combine creativity with precision and collaborate across disciplines, we’d love to hear from you.

This position works onsite at our Plymouth, MN facility.

Work authorization support is not available for this role now or in the future.

What You’ll Be Doing

+ Lead the design and development of cutting-edge products, applying your PCB and engineering expertise to boost performance and reliability.

+ Analyze and test designs using tools like oscilloscopes, signal generators, and RF equipment—yes, this is where you get to break things scientifically (and learn from it).

+ Solve functional, application, and production challenges with creativity, precision, and a solid command of advanced math concepts.

+ Enhance existing products with new features, cost-saving improvements, and updates driven by technology advances or component changes.

+ Own complex tasks independently, organize your workload, and deliver high-quality results on time—cape optional, but confidence required.

+ Collaborate across teams including sales, marketing, service, production, drafting, procurement, suppliers, and operations—because good engineering is a team sport.

+ Support internal and external customers with clarity, responsiveness, and a can-do mindset.

+ Build strong relationships and facilitate productive cross-functional discussions to keep projects moving forward.

What We're Looking For

+ Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering or related field from an accredited institution

+ 3–10 years of hands-on experience working with PCBs and PCBAs

+ Solid command of ECAD and mechanical CAD tools—experience with Altium Designer and NX earns bonus points

+ Strong grasp of advanced math concepts (algebra, calculus, probability, statistics… you know, all the fun stuff)

+ Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings, schematics, PCB layouts, and PCB drawings

+ Working knowledge of digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, data acquisition hardware, inspection equipment, signal generators, power supplies, RF tools, and current probes

+ Excellent communication and interpersonal skills—because even the best ideas need the right voice behind them
