About The Position

The Product Engineer works onsite in McKinney, Texas, in a manufacturing environment supporting development RF microelectronics, including Fire Control AESAs, Electronic Warfare systems, and SATCOMs. The role interfaces with internal and external suppliers, engineering teams, and program leadership to develop cost-reduction activities, mitigate process defects, and promote effective design choices using statistical analysis. The engineer resolves product-specific design and process challenges for RF microelectronics used in land, sea, airborne, and space applications. The position focuses on operational plans with a short- to medium-term impact (1–2 years) across programs and recommends and implements products, processes, policies, and standards in support of the functional strategy. The role requires an active and existing DoD Secret clearance after the first day; U.S. citizenship is required.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM preferred).
At least 2 years of prior engineering experience.
Currently possess or be able to obtain a Secret clearance; an active and existing clearance is required after day one.
U.S. citizenship, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.
Experience troubleshooting issues and establishing root-cause corrective action.
Experience driving continuous improvement through process and cycle-time reductions using Six Sigma principles.
Experience supporting ongoing development builds in a clean-room environment.

Nice To Haves

Advanced degree in the aforementioned disciplines.
ABET-accredited education; ABET is preferred but not required.
