RF Digital Circuit Engineer
About The Position
SAIC is seeking an experienced RF and Digital Circuit Engineer to support the design, development, integration, testing, troubleshooting, and sustainment of complex electronic systems in Crane, Indiana. The role involves hands-on work with radio-frequency systems, digital circuitry, embedded electronics, and electronic test equipment. The engineer will analyze system and circuit performance, diagnose hardware issues, develop technical solutions, and collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering and technical teams. Work may include new system development, existing-system modifications, production activities, laboratory testing, and lifecycle sustainment. This position requires in-person support and may periodically require second-shift support.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
- Active Secret clearance.
- At least 3 years of hands-on electronics troubleshooting and circuit analysis.
- Professional experience designing, testing, integrating, or troubleshooting RF and digital electronic systems.
- Working knowledge of RF principles, digital logic, electronic components, circuit analysis, and signal processing.
- Experience reading and interpreting electrical schematics, circuit-card drawings, wiring diagrams, and technical specifications.
- Hands-on experience with electronic laboratory and RF test equipment.
- Ability to diagnose complex electronic hardware and system-level performance issues.
- Strong technical writing, analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
- Ability to work independently and as part of a multidisciplinary technical team.
- Must be a U.S. citizen.
Responsibilities
- Design, analyze, test, and troubleshoot RF, analog, and digital electronic circuits and subsystems.
- Develop and evaluate circuit designs, schematics, block diagrams, wiring diagrams, and technical documentation.
- Perform laboratory testing and system-level integration using electronic test equipment.
- Troubleshoot circuit cards, RF assemblies, digital interfaces, power supplies, communication systems, and related electronic hardware.
- Analyze RF performance characteristics, including frequency response, signal integrity, gain, noise, impedance, modulation, filtering, and power output.
- Evaluate digital circuitry, including processors, microcontrollers, field-programmable gate arrays, memory devices, data buses, and digital communication interfaces.
- Support the development of test procedures, test plans, acceptance criteria, and automated or manual test solutions.
- Conduct failure analysis and root-cause investigations and recommend corrective actions.
- Support prototype development, system modifications, hardware upgrades, and engineering change activities.
- Review technical data, drawings, specifications, and system requirements for accuracy and completeness.
- Document test results, engineering analyses, technical recommendations, and design decisions.
- Collaborate with systems, software, mechanical, test, manufacturing, logistics, and configuration-management personnel.
- Provide technical guidance to engineering technicians and other team members.
- Support technical reviews, customer meetings, design reviews, and program-status discussions.
- Ensure engineering activities comply with applicable quality, safety, cybersecurity, configuration-management, and documentation requirements.
