5+ years of experience in electrical design, test engineering, or hardware development
Experience with schematic capture and PCB design tools (Altium, Mentor, DX Designer, etc.)
Strong background in circuit design, troubleshooting, and electrical analysis
Hands-on experience with electrical test equipment
Ability to obtain and maintain a Secret security clearance (U.S. Citizenship required)

Nice To Haves

Experience with analog, digital, RF, or mixed-signal design
Background in aerospace, defense, or high-reliability systems
Experience with hardware integration, system interconnects, and test adapters
Familiarity with embedded systems, debugging tools, or software-hardware integration
Experience leading projects or providing technical leadership
Strong root cause analysis and troubleshooting skills
Experience supporting manufacturing or production test environments

Responsibilities

Design and develop electrical test systems, test equipment, and hardware interfaces
Create schematics, wiring diagrams, and circuit designs using tools like Altium, DX Designer, Mentor Graphics, or Creo Schematic
Perform circuit analysis, integration, validation, and troubleshooting (analog, digital, mixed-signal)
Develop test adapters, cabling, and system interconnects for unit under test (UUT) configurations
Use lab equipment (oscilloscopes, DMMs, network analyzers, power meters) for testing and debugging
Support full lifecycle development from requirements through deployment in lab and production environments
Identify and resolve issues through root cause analysis and system-level troubleshooting
Contribute to project execution including technical scope, schedule, and deliverables
