About The Position

As an Electrical Engineer III at Mercury Systems, you will be a recognized proficient hardware electrical engineer working with our world-class, integrated team on the complete hardware development lifecycle. You will independently design complex embedded systems for mission-critical applications—from below the ocean to orbiting in space. Work on challenging projects including the world's most secure processing and storage hardware, advanced FPGA RF and signal processing systems, Digital Radio Frequency Memory (DRFM) devices, advanced display technologies, and extreme environment electronics that power operations across Space, Air, Land, and Sea. This role requires taking ownership of significant design efforts while serving as a technical resource for junior engineers. At Mercury, we work with an Integrator Mindset, collaborating across sites and disciplines to create novel solutions that directly impact the security of our country and the safety of our world.

Requirements

Minimum 4 years of electrical engineering product development experience from concept to production
Experience designing complex embedded digital hardware products from concept to completion
Experience designing complex circuits with microprocessors, FPGAs, or network switches
Experience with high-speed digital interfaces such as FPGA, PCIe, SATA, I2C, ARINC 429, Ethernet, HD-SDI
Experience developing detailed design specifications, test plans, and verification reports
Experience designing schematics using Cadence DEHDL (Concept) or equivalent
Understanding of signal integrity principles for high-speed digital design
Experience leading projects and mentoring other engineers
This position requires you to have or obtain a government security clearance. Security clearances may only be granted to U.S. citizens.
