Senior Electrical Engineer - RCP Hardware (Onsite)
About The Position
The Resilient Connectivity Products (RCP) Hardware Technologies organization is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to help shape the next generation of secure, high speed communication systems for ground, airborne, and space platforms. You’ll join a team building cutting-edge, high speed digital electronics that power mission critical systems—advanced software defined radios, high bandwidth data links, and secure communication platforms spanning ground, airborne, and space environments. This is a Hardware Electrical Engineer role where you’ll design and develop high-speed digital circuit card assemblies (CCAs), applying knowledge of FPGAs, processors, and memory to deliver next-generation products. Expertise in digital PCB design, signal integrity, EMI control, manufacturability, and testability is essential. The selected candidate will collaborate closely with cross-functional partners and will support all phases of the hardware development lifecycle—program pursuit, design, integration, verification, and factory transition.
Requirements
- Expertise in digital design for medium to high complexity multilayer PCBs (12+ layers) with understanding of DFM/DFT, PCB fabrication, controlled impedance design, board assembly, and design verification testing.
- Demonstrated end to end circuit card development experience — from concept through verification — requirements, schematic capture, layout, bring up, and card level verification testing.
- Proficiency with PCB design tools like Xpedition, Cadence Allegro, or Altium Designer.
- SI/PI analysis experience with tools such as HyperLynx, ADS, or SPICE.
- A degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and minimum 5 years prior relevant experience, or an Advanced Degree in a related field and minimum 3 years of experience.
- The ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued security clearance is required. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance
Nice To Haves
- Active SECRET Security Clearance or HIGHER
- Effective communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to articulate complex technical info to non-technical stakeholders, leadership, and customers.
- Advanced knowledge of high-speed protocols, such as PCIe, Ethernet, and high-speed memory interfaces
- Control Account Manager (CAM) experience with knowledge of the Earned Value Management System (EVMS) principles and practices for performing cost, schedule, and risk management for hardware development projects.
- Ability to prepare estimates, bids and proposals.
- Previous experience working in a defense or aerospace company
- Experience with Agile for Hardware Development as a Scrum Master and/or Product Owner, including planning, tracking, and managing hardware development projects in JIRA is a plus.
Responsibilities
- Design high-speed digital Circuit Card Assemblies (CCAs) from requirements and schematic capture through PCB layout, integration, and production.
- Ensure robust signal and power integrity (SI/PI) via advanced modeling, simulation, and hardware validation.
- Implement Design to Cost (DTC), Design for Manufacturing (DFM), Design for Test (DFT) principles to ensure producible, cost-effective, and testable designs.
- Perform hardware integration and Design Verification Testing (DVT), while providing technical support for Product Qualification Testing, factory production, and formal Root Cause Analysis (RCA).
- Collaborate across Systems, Software, and Mechanical Engineering teams while serving as the primary technical interface to align internal stakeholders, leadership and customers on program objectives.
