Job Summary
In our always on world we believe its essential to have a genuine connection with the work you do.
Join Our Team
CommScope is seeking an Electrical Engineer I to join a small highly collaborative engineering team focused on copper Ethernet cabling systems hybrid fiber power solutions and powered communications technologies for enterprise data center and intelligent building environments.
This entry-level role is designed for a recent graduate or early-career engineer with 0 to 2 years of experience who wants hands-on exposure to product development laboratory testing electrical analysis standards-driven engineering and real-world troubleshooting. You will work alongside experienced engineers across the product lifecycle from early concept evaluation through design validation documentation qualification and product this is a very small team the role is intentionally broad: everyone is expected to contribute wherever needed whether that means assembling a prototype troubleshooting a test setup writing a program organizing the laboratory helping prepare the workspace or participating in a formal customer-facing meeting.
How Youll Make an Impact
As an Electrical Engineer I you will support engineering and product development activities by:
Supporting development and evaluation of hybrid fiber power fault-managed power and powered communications systems including power delivery protection and integration considerations.
Assisting with electrical modeling simulation and laboratory measurement of cables connectors and system-level performance.
Developing and executing engineering test plans to validate product performance reliability safety and compliance requirements.
Conducting laboratory testing such as electrical thermal environmental and EMC-related evaluations under the guidance of senior engineers.
Usinglab-gradeinstrumentation such as oscilloscopes multimeters power supplies data loggers network analyzers VNAs andprogrammable power loads.
Collecting organizing analyzing and summarizing test data using tools such as Excel MATLAB Python or similar analysis environments.
Supporting failure analysis and root-cause investigations related to electrical performance signal integrity power delivery and product reliability.
Collaborating with mechanical engineering manufacturing quality supplier compliance product management and field support teams.
Preparing technical reports test summaries design documentation engineering change information and material for internal design reviews.
Supporting product qualification prototyping pilot builds early deployments and new product introduction activities.
Building awareness of industry standards and practices including TIA IEEE IEC UL NEC and related requirements as applicable.
Contributing wherever the team needs support including practical laboratory work light workspace organization prototype assembly software development documentation and professional interaction with customers and other stakeholders.
Required Qualifications
Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited university.
Strong analytical thinking attention to detail and willingness to learn new technologies tools and standards.
0 to 2 years of professional engineering experience including internship co-op laboratory or academic project experience.
Fundamental understanding of circuit analysis AC/DC power fundamentals electromagnetics and signal integrity concepts.
Interest in hands-on laboratory work involving product prototypes electrical measurements data collection and troubleshooting.
Effective written and verbal communication skills including the ability to document test results and explain technical observations clearly.
Ability to work effectively in a small-team multidisciplinary environment while balancing laboratory analysis and documentation tasks.
Willingness to take ownership of both technical and routine tasks shift comfortably among different types of work and help the team complete whatever is required to meet its commitments.
Preferred Qualifications
Internship co-op senior design research or academic project experience involving electrical design testing communications systems or product development.
Exposure to structured cabling systems Ethernet technologies high-speed copper links fiber optic systems or telecommunications infrastructure.
Familiarity with Power over Ethernet low-voltage power distribution power electronics remote power or fault-managed power concepts.
Experience using MATLAB Python Excel SPICE or other tools for data analysis modeling simulation or test automation.
Exposure to measurement methods such as vector network analysis time-domain reflectometry signal-integrity measurements or thermal testing.
Awareness of standards organizations or requirements such as TIA IEEE 802 IEC UL NEC or electrical safety practices.
What You Will Gain
Hands-on experience with products used in enterprise networks data centers intelligent buildings and powered connectivity applications.
Exposure to the full product development lifecycle from concept evaluation through design validation qualification and commercialization.
Mentorship from experienced engineers working in copper cabling hybrid fiber power signal integrity power delivery and standards-driven product development.
Opportunities to develop practical expertise in laboratory measurement test planning technical documentation root-cause analysis and cross-functional engineering collaboration.
A collaborative environment where curiosity adaptability continuous learning and real-world problem solving are highly valued.
Ideal Candidate Profile
The ideal candidate is curious adaptablepractical and comfortable being a technical generalist. This is not a narrowly defined desk-engineeringposition. Itis a strong fit for someone who enjoysgetting hands-onmoving between analysis testingprogrammingdocumentationtroubleshootinglaboratory upkeep and customer interactionandtaking pride in helping with both highly technical assignmentsandordinary tasks that keep a small team position offers a broad technical foundation forsomeonewho wants to grow close to the hardware learn how systems behave from end to end and make a visible contributionto products that support modern connectivity and power distribution.
