16d•Onsite

About The Position

The Lead Electrical Hardware Engineer is a lead engineering role responsible for the end-to-end design and development of high-speed digital electronic modules and circuit boards, including Circuit Card Assemblies (CCAs), from concept through production. The work involves reviewing and deriving hardware requirements, developing design concepts, and performing detailed electrical design of circuitry such as microprocessors, memories, FPGAs, voltage regulators, power reset sequencers, analog circuitry, and interface transceiver circuits. The engineer captures designs as schematic diagrams using CAD tools, collaborates with the ECAD department on printed wiring board (PWB) layout and routing, and tests and verifies populated electronics assemblies. The role also supports firmware and software integration and contributes to requirements specifications, design documents, and comprehensive test plans and procedures. It is an on-site position in Camden, New Jersey, with a regular 9/80 schedule and minimal travel.
