About The Position

We are seeking a mid-career Electrical Engineer to support EO/IR seeker and precision munitions products and related technologies. The selected candidate will join the Hardware Team supporting development programs in the Franchise Program Portfolio, part of the Precision Guidance and Sensing Solutions product line. The role involves translating system requirements into system architectures and complex printed board assembly designs, developing and testing electronic solutions, documenting verification and design reviews, and working within schedule and budget constraints.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering.
• At least four years of relevant experience in a related industry, such as defense or electronics, or two years with a Master’s degree.
• Solid understanding of digital, analog, power, and mixed-signal electronics fundamentals and interface/communication standards such as UART, SPI, QSPI, I2C, USB, Ethernet, ARINC 429, MIL-STD-1553, and PCIe.
• PCB/CCA design experience, emphasizing DFA and DFM optimization for complex rigid and rigid-flex mixed-signal HDI PCBs.
• Proficiency in testing and troubleshooting analog, digital, and power-supply-based circuits in a laboratory using oscilloscopes, bench supplies, vector network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, frequency counters, arbitrary waveform generators, function generators, and logic analyzers.

Nice To Haves

• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, RF Engineering, or equivalent.
• Familiarity designing with FPGAs, System-On-Chips (SoC), and/or CPLDs using VHDL and/or Verilog.
• Familiarity designing and writing embedded software for microcontroller-based systems and modules.
• Knowledge of system-level EMI mitigation techniques and proper grounding and shielding architecture.
• Experience with high-speed mixed-signal HDI PCB design, constraints management, and routing for interfaces with lane rates exceeding 1 Gbps.
• Hands-on experience with high-voltage testing, emphasizing measurement safety.
• Experience with low-noise, wide-bandwidth, low-power Analog Front-End systems.
• Understanding of SPICE simulators and simulation methods, preferably LTSpice, TINA, or PSpice.
• Experience with PCB and CCA design features including micro-vias and blind/buried vias, stacked micro-vias, via-in-pad and via-fill/cap processes, controlled impedances, backdrilling, high-pin-count/fine-pitch BGAs, Chip-on-Board (COB), QFNs/DFNs, LGAs, and other advanced IC package types.
• Familiarity with phase/gain margin stability analysis and other small-signal analysis techniques for analog circuit and switch-mode power-supply design.
• Familiarity with Signal Integrity and Power Integrity as applied to proper layout techniques.
• Active DoD Secret security clearance.

Responsibilities

• Translate system requirements into successful system architectures and complex printed board assembly designs.
• Create board schematics and layouts using Cadence Allegro System Capture.
• Perform trade studies and prototyping to select critical components and develop optimized electronic architectural solutions (SWAP).
• Verify complex custom circuit blocks of an overarching system.
• Document design verification tests and design review documentation.
• Participate in knowledge-sharing through mentoring.
• Work within schedule and budget constraints and elevate concerns when challenges arise.
