About The Position

The Hardware Engineering Directorate is seeking a Principal Digital Hardware Engineer with digital electronics design and analysis skills to join our team. We are looking for candidates willing to collaborate, innovate, and team with our engineers to generate and utilize today’s cutting-edge technology to design digital electronics circuits that implement missile guidance, video and digital signal processing. Our technology base includes high-speed digital electronics, configurable logic, and homogeneous / heterogeneous multiprocessor designs. The Effector Guidance Electronics Department designs digital electronic circuit cards and electronic units which are supported from proposal through transition to production. Our systems are subject to environments ranging from the frigid, sub-zero vacuum of space to the blistering heat of the desert floor, to the high pressures of the ocean depths.

Requirements

Typically requires a Bachelor's Degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 8 years of prior relevant experience
Minimum of eight (8) years engineering digital circuit design experience
Experience in the development and design of electronic circuit designs, and/or multi-assembly system/unit design
The ability to obtain and maintain a US security clearance prior to the start date.
U.S. citizenship is required as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.

Nice To Haves

Experience in taking design concepts from block diagram or requirements level to development of complete hardware designs, with verification via test and integration
Experience with PCB design process and expertise with design tools (schematic capture) to analyze and simulate designs prior to hardware execution
Experience using Mentor Graphics Design Creation (Siemens EDA) tools: DxDesigner, xDX Designer VX, and/or Expedition
Experience using PCB electronic circuit design software: HyperLynx signal integrity, power integrity and analog simulation, and/or Xpedition Enterprise (xPCB)

Responsibilities

The Principal Electrical Engineer is responsible for the design, analysis, simulation, test, and integration of digital electronic modules and/or CCAs for missile applications.
