About The Position

Lynntech is seeking an experienced electronics engineer to develop custom electronic hardware, embedded firmware, and integrated electrical systems for prototype products in the defense, aerospace, and medical markets. The engineer will contribute throughout the product development lifecycle, from early-stage proof-of-concept through prototype development and testing to qualification of production-ready designs. Work includes developing complete multidisciplinary electrical solutions, embedded firmware and software, custom circuit boards, integrated electrical systems, design-for-manufacturability practices, and system verification and validation. The role also offers opportunities to lead project teams, mentor engineers, and help identify and advance technologies through proposal-writing teams. Lynntech’s engineering work combines detailed prototype design with laboratory validation. Projects span a range of technologies and development stages, from breadboard proof-of-concepts to minimum viable products. Technical work includes electrical system architecture and integration, wiring and harness documentation, analog and digital circuit design, custom PCB development and testing, firmware implementation, and maturation of prototypes into reproducible, supportable product designs. The senior engineer will also contribute to technology advancement and transition. This includes working with customers, end users, business-development personnel, and manufacturing partners to translate needs into technical requirements; collaborating on grant proposals; leading early-stage design research; developing and executing prototype test plans; designing test fixtures; planning verification and validation; supporting technical reports; and helping transition technologies through technical maturation, cost and manufacturability assessments, qualification testing, field demonstrations, and transfer to manufacturing organizations. Long-term growth may involve technical expertise, technology-area specialization, or project, personnel, or other leadership roles.
