Circuit Design Engineer

Geologics•Orlando, FL

20h•$71•Hybrid

About The Position

This role involves owning the full product lifecycle for control circuit assemblies (CCA). The engineer will develop detailed schematics and PCB layouts, create verification plans to ensure electrical, timing, and safety requirements are met, and collaborate with various specialists and engineers. Responsibilities include defining control algorithms, feedback loops, and interface requirements, resolving board-level constraints, and liaising with external vendors for design files, BOM, and manufacturing instructions. The position also supports prototype fabrication, assembly, yield analysis, and the generation and maintenance of design documentation. The work environment is hybrid, with core days in the office on Tuesday and Wednesday, and flexible WFH days on Monday or Thursday, requiring 3 days on-site per week.

Requirements

Relevant circuit-card design experience (schematic capture and PCB layout)
Ability to perform analog and mixed-signal circuit analysis and simulation
Proficiency with Mentor Graphics, Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro, or comparable tools
Strong background in analog/mixed-signal design, power electronics, and control-loop theory
Experience with SPICE-based simulation and signal-integrity analysis tools
Familiarity with ADC/DAC selection, voltage-level translation, and EMI/EMC mitigation techniques
An Active Secret Clearance is required prior to start.

Nice To Haves

Prior work on laser or directed-energy weapon systems or high-energy electromagnetic applications
Knowledge of military standards and qualification processes
Experience with vendor management, low-volume high-reliability PWB fabrication, and component sourcing
Familiarity with system-integration testing and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation environments

Responsibilities

Own the full product lifecycle for control circuit assemblies (CCA)
Develop detailed schematics and PCB layouts using industry standard tools
Create comprehensive verification plans to confirm that the CCA meets all electrical, timing, and safety requirements
Work closely with servo system specialists and subject matter experts to define control algorithms, feedback loops, and interface requirements
Collaborate with mechanical and packaging engineers to resolve board level constraints
Liaise with external silicon and PCB vendors, providing clear design files, bill of materials (BOM), and manufacturing instructions
Support prototype fabrication, assembly, and yield analysis activities
Generate and maintain complete design documentation
Update design requirements and coordinate servo requirements
Update schematics incorporating servo and SME feedback
Perform power, stability, ADC/DAC accuracy, electrical-stress, and signal-quality analyses
Conduct EE implementation and packaging implementation reviews
Complete layout & routing (constraints, stack-up, EPCAD support)
Support packaging prerelease review and DVT/test-plan creation
Assist CCA fabrication (PWB vendor coordination, component procurement, CCA population)
Conduct initial testing (inspection, bench test, DVT, integration support)
