22h • $60 - $68

About The Position

In this role, you will be tasked with working closely with avionics engineers to review and design electrical integration details to ensure details are documented and communicated to all relevant stakeholders for flight critical electronics, PCB assemblies and FPGA-based processing architectures.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent, with 3+ years of experience designing, testing, and troubleshooting complex system designs
• Experience designing mixed-signal PCBs with multiple layer counts, layer stackup and impedance matching for power and sensor applications, understanding correct grounding approaches and employing appropriate board protections and filtering
• Experience designing PCBs with Altium software
• Ability to perform power system and electrical loading analysis, simulation, and testing to determine optimal solutions
• High competence using lab test equipment (benchtop power supplies, electronics loads, oscilloscopes, DMM, logic/spectrum analyzers, etc.) with familiarity of thermal and EMI test chambers and using basic software debugging tools
• Familiarity with common electrical bus interfaces (CAN, I2C, SPI, Ethernet, RS232/422, RS485, USB)
• Hands-on experience with microcontrollers, including bring-up and design work
• Knowledge of modern analog and digital electronics and electronic circuits
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. security clearance

Responsibilities

• Full cycle PCB design including collecting requirements, schematic design, component selection, supervision or completion of layout, bring-up, test, debug, and system integration
• Conduct bring-up and design work on microcontrollers, ensuring seamless integration within the system
• Troubleshoot issues that span electrical and software boundaries, utilizing both lab equipment (Oscilloscopes, DMM, etc.) and basic software debugging tools
• Perform power design, including development and integration of power management systems and components
• Develop payloads and subsystems (sensors, payload interfaces, power management, and networking)
• Create system interconnect diagrams and define wire harnesses that connect electronic equipment within a subsystem

Benefits

• Goken offers a competitive compensation structure and benefits that support professional growth and personal well-being.
• We also foster a culture built on high performance, collaboration, continuous improvement, and ongoing professional development.
