About The Position

Quest Defense Systems and Solutions is hiring Digital Design Electrical Engineers at various levels to design and develop digital electronics for missile guidance, video processing, and digital signal processing applications. The role works with multidisciplinary engineering teams on digital circuits using high-speed processors, FPGAs, configurable logic, and multiprocessor architectures. The position owns hardware across its full lifecycle, from requirements and architecture through design, simulation, integration, and test. Work is performed onsite in Tucson, Arizona. Relocation assistance is available. U.S. citizenship and an active DoD security clearance are required. Senior-level candidates may lead development from concept through production and provide technical oversight and mentoring.

Requirements

Experience designing and developing electronic circuit designs and multi-assembly hardware systems.
Experience levels are flexible across the combined role, which covers 2–8+ years of experience; the posting also specifies 8+ years and ability to drive hardware from concept to production.
Proficiency with electronic design and simulation tools for schematic creation, PCB layout, and signal- and power-integrity analysis.
Experience developing multilayer PCBs and complex circuit card assemblies.
Ability to perform hands-on laboratory testing, troubleshooting, and integration.
U.S. citizenship is required.
An active DoD security clearance is required.
