About The Position

L3Harris is seeking an Electrical Engineer with knowledge in Analog, Digital, or RF engineering. The role participates in complex projects or processes with general oversight, communicates across functions to support operational processes and procedures, improves systems and processes, and contributes to departmental goals and operating plans. The position designs, develops, modifies, tests, evaluates, and integrates electronic equipment, components, and circuitry for complex, high-performance hardware systems. It determines design approaches and parameters, analyzes electrical requirements and feasibility within time and cost constraints, conducts tests, evaluates results, and selects components based on specifications and reliability. The engineer supports or leads design, development, documentation, verification, manufacturing debug, and design modifications for existing products, including changes driven by component obsolescence. Design for manufacturing is considered throughout development. The role provides technical solutions to difficult problems and contributes to project milestones. It involves understanding and generating digital and analog circuit schematics, providing guidance for PCB layout, and potentially reviewing vendor capabilities. Relevant specialized skills may include analog, digital, FPGA, DSP, CCA, power, antenna, and control systems. The position may also involve developing and assessing specialized algorithms for underwater acoustics, sonar, communications, geophysical, and other sensor-processing applications. Other duties include preparing presentation materials, developing and releasing operations manuals and test procedures, and traveling 5–10% of the time. The job is on site in Yorba Linda, California, on a 4/10 schedule: four 10-hour workdays per week.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree and at least 4 years of prior relevant experience; or a graduate degree and at least 2 years of prior related experience; or, in lieu of a degree, at least 8 years of prior related experience.
At least 3 years of experience in analog circuit design.
At least 3 years of experience in RF electronics.
At least 2 years of experience with schematic capture and PCBA layout using Altium or Cadence.
At least 3 years of laboratory experience troubleshooting electronics in the analog and RF domains.
At least 2 years of experience working with a network analyzer, frequency generator, vector analyzer, and digital/analog oscilloscope.

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with GPS electronics and circuit design.
Experience with A/D and D/A circuit design, interfacing, and use.
Familiarity with industry-standard EDA tools for schematic capture, PCB layout, and FPGA development/simulation.
Experience developing military products.

Responsibilities

Design, develop, modify, test, evaluate, and integrate electronic equipment, parts, components, and integrated circuitry for complex, high-performance hardware systems.
Determine design approaches and parameters; analyze electrical requirements and design feasibility within time and cost constraints.
