Electrical Design Engineer - Power & Data

Job Description

Electrical Design Engineer – Fort Wayne | Power & Data Team

Are you excited by the idea of bringing bold ideas to life through hands-on electronics design? At Dekko, we’re seeking an Electrical Design Engineer to join our Power & Data team at our Fort Wayne location.

This role is ideal for a curious and motivated engineer who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys problem-solving across disciplines, and wants to help shape what’s next. You’ll work on a wide range of projects, from concept development to functional prototypes, while learning and growing alongside a highly skilled team.

What You’ll Do:

• Support the design and development of analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuits for new product concepts.
• Participate in system architecture discussions, circuit design, simulation, PCB layout, and prototype development.
• Help evaluate and select components based on performance, cost, and manufacturability.
• Use lab tools (e.g., oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power analyzers) to test and validate circuit functionality.
• Assist in troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and implementing design improvements.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including mechanical, software, and manufacturing engineering.
• Support documentation, design reviews, and testing to meet performance, regulatory, and safety standards (UL, FCC, CE, etc.).
• Stay current on emerging technologies and industry trends that could inform future design strategies.

What You’ll Need:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• 2–5 years of hands-on experience designing electronic systems in a professional setting.
• Familiarity with schematic capture and PCB layout tools (e.g., Altium or similar).
• Understanding of embedded systems, low-power design, and microcontroller integration.
• Comfort working in a lab setting—testing, iterating, and debugging hardware designs.
• Strong problem-solving skills, curiosity, and a willingness to ask questions and learn.
• Ability to communicate technical ideas clearly within a multidisciplinary team

Bonus Points if You Have:

• Knowledge of or exposure to IoT systems, wireless communication (BLE, Wi-Fi, LoRa), and low-power design.
• Familiarity with EMC/EMI best practices/compliance and regulatory compliance testing.
• Familiarity with design for manufacturing (DFM), design for test (DFT), and transitioning prototypes to production.

What We’ll Give You:

A competitive compensation package. Quality medical benefits, including a company funded Pension, 401K plan, health & wellness perks and so much more!
