The work includes circuit design and simulation, schematic development, component selection, board fabrication and qualification, testing infrastructure, and support for hardware planning. The position involves collaboration with project managers, lead engineers, suppliers, vendors, and colleagues.

Candidates must have a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a related field, plus at least five years of relevant experience, or equivalent experience. U.S. citizenship and the ability to obtain and maintain a Department of Defense security clearance are required. Willingness to travel within the continental United States is also required.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a related field and at least five years of relevant experience, or equivalent experience.
• Experience researching, designing, developing, and testing systems and components such as circuit boards, including product-level integration and testing.
• Experience in analog and digital circuit design and simulation.
• Working knowledge of one or more schematic-capture tools; OrCAD/Cadence experience is identified as preferred within the required-skills section.
• Ability to read and generate schematics and create parts lists.
• Working knowledge of basic test equipment, including oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, and power supplies.
• Understanding of basic analog and digital circuits, surface-mount technologies and handling practices, and datasheets.
• Experience designing with complex analog and digital components, including ASIC devices.
• Ability to analyze design requirements, debug complex circuits, document findings, and provide solutions.
• Ability to develop synthesis and implementation constraints and take a design to completion.
• Working knowledge of interfaces such as video, avionics discrete interfaces, MIL-STD-1553, fiber technologies, 10/100/1000 Ethernet, SPI, I2C, or RS-232.
• Experience with high-speed digital signal integrity and board-layout constraints.
• Working knowledge of gated Quality Management Systems in an AS9100 environment.
• U.S. citizenship and ability to obtain and maintain a Department of Defense security clearance.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; strong attention to detail; highly organized and computer literate.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced professional office environment, cooperate with people inside and outside the company, and work independently or as part of a small team.
• Willingness to travel within the continental United States.
• Ability to learn quickly, work independently, and demonstrate self-confidence.

Nice To Haves

• Master’s degree in a related field, such as computer engineering, computer science, systems engineering, or another applicable engineering discipline.
• Hands-on experience using Vivado and/or Quartus-II.
• Knowledge of FPGA architectural elements and their efficient use in complex designs.
• Experience with EMI design and testing and MIL-STD-461 solution resolution.
• Experience with defense-systems LRU dynamic qualification, including “Shake and Bake.”
• Knowledge of the Solid-Edge mechanical CAD tool.
• Python, C, or BASIC coding skills for creating hardware test scripts.
• Knowledge of and experience with DO-178 and DO-254.

Responsibilities

• Research, design, develop, and test systems and components, including circuit boards and product-level integrations.
• Analyze product- or subassembly-level design requirements from system and hardware perspectives.
• Create and interpret schematics and parts lists using schematic-capture tools.
• Design and simulate analog and digital circuits, including designs incorporating complex components and ASIC devices.
• Debug complex circuits, document findings, and provide solutions.
• Design, set up, and operate testing infrastructure; use basic test equipment to evaluate hardware.
• Support project managers and lead engineers with hardware planning.
• Work with suppliers and vendors to select components and arrange for circuit boards to be built, tested, and qualified.
• Develop synthesis, implementation, and board-layout constraints, including constraints for high-speed signal integrity.
