About The Position
Silvus Technologies, a wholly owned subsidiary of Motorola Solutions, is hiring an Electronics Design Engineer for its Hardware Engineering team. Reporting to the Team Lead, Electronics Design, this role contributes to the development of MANET radios and advanced R&D projects, with an emphasis on electronics hardware and PCBA design. The position is based at Silvus Technologies’ headquarters in West Los Angeles, California, and follows a hybrid schedule requiring at least three onsite days per week: Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. The work takes place primarily in an office and laboratory environment, with occasional field exposure to heat, cold, and allergens during tests or demonstrations. The listed duties represent current essential functions, and management may assign or reassign duties and responsibilities. Employment is contingent on successfully clearing a background check and drug test. Candidates must be a U.S. Person because the company serves clients under U.S. federal contracts.
Requirements
- Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related field.
- At least two years of experience in multilayer PCB design.
- Experience implementing digital communication peripherals at the hardware level, such as USB 2.0, Ethernet, I2C, and RS232.
- Experience designing power-supply circuitry.
- Strong familiarity with test equipment such as a DMM, bench-top supply, oscilloscope, logic analyzer, and spectrum analyzer.
- Must be a U.S. Person (U.S. Citizen or U.S. Permanent Resident) due to clients under U.S. federal contracts.
- Employment is contingent upon successfully clearing a background check and drug test.
