About The Position

L3Harris is seeking a Senior Associate Electrical Engineer with knowledge in Analog, Digital, or RF engineering. The role participates in complex projects or processes with general oversight and communicates within and outside its function to gain cooperation on operational processes, practices, and procedures. It makes moderate to substantial improvements to systems and processes and contributes to departmental goals and operating plans, directly affecting departmental results. The engineer designs, develops, modifies, tests, evaluates, and integrates electronic equipment, parts, components, or integrated circuitry for complex, high-performance hardware systems. The role supports or leads design activities for new and existing products, primarily involving medium frequencies and edge rates, while considering design for manufacturing throughout development. It also supports or leads design, development, documentation, verification, manufacturing debug, and product modifications, including changes driven by component obsolescence. Some work may involve vendor capability reviews, specialized electronic engineering areas, and algorithms for sensor-processing applications. The position also develops presentation and training materials, operation manuals, and test procedures. Travel of 5 to 10% is required.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree and 2 years of prior relevant experience; alternatively, a graduate degree and 0 to 2 years of prior related experience; or 6 years of prior related experience in lieu of a degree.
Active Secret security clearance.
At least 2 years of experience in analog circuit design.
At least 2 years of experience in RF electronics.
At least 2 years of experience in schematic capture and PCBA layout using Altium or Cadence.
At least 2 years of laboratory experience troubleshooting electronics in analog and RF domains.
At least 2 years of experience working with a network analyzer, frequency generator, vector analyzer, and digital/analog oscilloscope.

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with GPS electronics or circuit design.
Experience with A/D and D/A circuit design, interfacing, and use.
Familiarity with industry-standard EDA tools, including schematic capture, PCB layout, and FPGA development/simulation.
Experience developing military products.

Responsibilities

Design, develop, modify, test, evaluate, and integrate electronic equipment, parts, components, or integrated circuitry for complex, high-performance hardware systems.
Determine design approaches and parameters, and analyze electrical requirements for feasibility within time and cost constraints.
Analyze equipment to establish operating data, conduct experimental tests, and evaluate results.
Select components and equipment based on analysis of specifications and reliability.
Identify component operational characteristics that may affect system performance or sustainability.
Support or lead design activities for new and existing products, taking design for manufacturing into account throughout development.
Apply electrical engineering principles and techniques to design, development, documentation, verification, and manufacturing debug activities.
Support or lead moderately complex design modifications for existing products, including modifications prompted by component obsolescence and possible card-level redesigns.
Provide technical solutions to difficult problems and contribute to project milestones affecting sub-processes or small project tasks.
Understand and generate schematics incorporating digital and analog electronic circuits.
Provide guidance for PCB layout.
Review vendor capability to support development when needed.
Apply specialized knowledge in areas such as analog, digital, FPGA, DSP, CCA, power, antenna, and control systems as required.
Develop, design, and assess methodologies and performance of specialized algorithms for underwater acoustics, sonar, communications, geophysical, and other sensor-processing applications when applicable.
Generate presentation materials and training.
Develop and release operation manuals and test procedures.
Travel 5 to 10%.
