Cybersecurity - Hardware Design Engineer - PCB, SMT

Erias Ventures•Annapolis Junction, MD

About The Position

Erias Ventures is seeking engineers who wish to grow their careers and want to become part of a strong, entrepreneurial-minded, and technical company focused on bringing innovative solutions to the difficult mission problems facing our customers. This role involves designing and testing new integrated circuits and hardware components for signal processing applications and research. The engineer will design, document, and develop code (including firmware) for digital signal processors or other programmable hardware devices like ASICs and FPGAs. Responsibilities include analyzing existing hardware for reverse engineering, modifying vendor hardware for specific government needs, and assisting with new product design and improvement of existing products. Communication with other engineering personnel is crucial for coordinating design efforts and ensuring project completion. The role also involves conducting design analysis for cost efficiency, manufacturability, and reliability, applying ASIC or FPGA place and route (P&R) tools, and developing documentation for P&R design flows. Additionally, the engineer will work with tool and library vendors, perform de-processing of electronic components to retrieve firmware/software, integrate new P&R tools and libraries into the government's CAD environment, and provide technical leadership to less experienced engineers.

Requirements

A current Top-Secret/SCI with polygraph security clearance is required.
7 years of experience as a HDE in integrated circuit or microelectronic component design or reverse engineering of the same is required
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering from an accredited college or university.
5 years of additional hardware design engineering experience may be substituted for a bachelor’s degree.
PCB layout experience
Experience with schematic capture to support CDES
Experience with high density interconnect (HDI) design and fab as well as schematic capture

Responsibilities

Designs and tests new integrated circuits and hardware components for a wide variety of signal processing applications and research.
Designs, documents, and develops code (to include firmware) for digital signal processors or other programmable hardware devices such as Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) and Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) hardware.
Analyzes the function of existing integrated circuits and hardware components for the purpose of reverse engineering the hardware and firmware.
Conducts the necessary hardware engineering and related functions to modify and adapt vendor-manufactured hardware to meet special Government needs and contingencies.
Assist with designing new products and processes and improving and maintaining existing products
Communicate with the other engineering personnel to coordinate the interrelated design and assure project completion
