Job Description

Senior Electrical & Applications Engineer

Location: Boston, MA Full Time On Site
Company: IET Labs, Inc.

Overview

IET Labs is the world’s leading manufacturer of precision impedance standards and test instruments, continuing the GenRad tradition of accuracy and reliability.

We are seeking a senior electrical & analog engineer. This role covers new product development, circuit design, reliability, calibration integrity, and product improvement across the full IET product line—from precision resistance standards to LCR meters.

This is a hands-on technical leadership position. The ideal candidate has deep expertise in analog and mixed-signal design and can balance technical expertise with the practical needs of a small, collaborative manufacturing environment.

No travel is required. The position includes customer interaction via email and video for technical support and troubleshooting.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Leadership

• Lead all aspects of electrical design, testing, and validation for new and existing products.
• Provide expert guidance in analog and mixed-signal circuit design for metrology-grade instruments.
• Review and approve schematics, PCB layouts, and component selections.
• Ensure designs meet required performance, reliability, safety, and compliance standards.
• Maintain focus on long-term stability, accuracy, and calibration integrity.

• Maintain and update technical documentation, spec sheets and BOM’s

Management and Supervision

• Lead and mentor a small team of engineers and technicians.
• Allocate resources across design, R&D, and production support priorities.
• Improve design methods, documentation, and quality control processes.
• Work closely with production, calibration, and sales to resolve technical issues and meet customer requirements.
• Provide direct technical support to customers (remote only).

Project and Strategic Oversight

• Define project scope, budgets, and schedules with senior leadership.
• Contribute to IET’s technology roadmap and long-term product strategy.
• Interface with suppliers, customers, and partners on technical specifications and requirements.
• Support all stages of the product lifecycle, including prototyping, testing, certification, and production transition.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering.
• 5+ years of circuit design experience, ideally in test, measurement, or precision instrumentation.
• Proven expertise in analog circuit design, including amplifiers, dividers, bridges, and precision references.
• Strong knowledge of metrology principles—calibration, uncertainty, and temperature coefficients.
• Hands-on approach to troubleshooting and validation.
• Comfortable in a small-company environment where engineering, production, and management work closely together.

Preferred Experience

• Analog design experience in instrumentation
• Understanding of resistance, capacitance, and inductance standards, bridges, and LCR instrumentation.
• Strong documentation and communication skills suited to calibration-grade design.

Company DescriptionSince 1976, it has been IET Lab's mission is to manufacturer very high-quality instruments at competitive prices while providing a level of hospitality not often found in the industry.

By combining the many hundreds of man-years of engineering experience of GenRad, esi and IET, we have become the world's preeminent manufacturer of impedance instruments, offering from the most cost-effective to the most stable electrical standards.

IET Labs is small enough to offer the individual exceptional service each of our customers deserves, while large enough to offer the worlds most complete impedance solutions with over 1300 different products.

While many in the industry outsource not only manufacturing but engineering, IET is proud to claim that we manufacturer 98% of our products in the United States and almost all of our major components are manufactured in the United States.
