PCB Hardware Design Engineer, Senior

Booz Allen Hamilton•Usa, MD

23h•Onsite

About The Position

The Opportunity: Are you looking for an opportunity to combine your technical skills with big picture thinking to make an impact on national security? You understand how a board-level design decision ripples through an entire system, and you know how to turn a set of requirements into hardware that performs in the field. Your ability to lead a design effort and bring a circuit card from concept through fabrication, bring-up, and qualification makes you an integral part of delivering a customer-focused engineering solution. As an Electrical Engineer on our team, you will own the circuit board design and layout effort for an advanced defense capability program, working alongside Booz Allen colleagues, other support contractors, and U.S. Navy personnel. You will translate system and subsystem requirements into board-level specifications, lead schematic capture and multilayer PCB layout, and guide designs through signal and power integrity analysis, design reviews, fabrication, assembly, and test. You will set the technical standard for the hardware team, mentor junior engineers, and serve as the design authority the program relies on to deliver reliable electronics on schedule. Grow your skills by merging proven engineering discipline with new technologies to build systems that support the mission. Join us. The world can't wait.
