About The Position

SeaLandAire Technologies is a defense contractor in Jackson, Michigan, providing engineering, build, and field testing for prototypes and products used for data collection applications in difficult environments. These products help customers collect information crucial to national security. We are seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to join our growing Electrical Engineering Group. This position involves developing complex concepts into functional prototypes within a rapid development cycle. As a senior member of the group, you will drive the entire design cycle - from initial concept to field testing - and serve as a primary technical authority for circuit design, firmware, and system integration. In addition to individual design contributions, this role is critical to helping scale our EE Group. You will play a vital role in establishing design standards, streamlining development workflows, and providing high-level technical direction to ensure our engineering deliverables meet rigorous mission requirements. Project teams include electrical, mechanical, and acoustic engineers, lab technicians, and support staff. The teams work together to create innovative concepts and reliable implementations that focus on customer requirements. Senior Electrical Engineers steer the integration of vital sensing, control, signal processing, and communication functions across projects. You will also serve as a key technical interface for customers, translating their feedback into actionable design requirements.

Requirements

Expert-level Schematic Capture and PCB layout experience (Altium Designer preferred).
High proficiency in Analog circuits (Audio frequencies a major plus).
Power electronics, digital electronics, and RF design experience.
Deep experience with ARM-based microcontrollers (specifically STM32 family) and C/C++ language.
Familiarity with Windows/Linux applications and Python for testing and tooling.
Demonstrated experience in data acquisition, audio/acoustic systems, radio telemetry, sensing systems, or underwater systems.
Strong project management, time management, and organizational skills.
Experience navigating the technical compliance and constraints of defense contracts.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills for interfacing smoothly with engineers, technicians, administrative staff, and customers.
A bachelor’s degree or higher in electrical engineering is required.
10+ years of progressive electrical engineering experience, with a proven track record of leading complex technical projects and managing design lifecycles.
Must be a "U.S. Person" (U.S. Citizen or Legal Permanent Resident).
Employees must be able to obtain a security clearance; SeaLandAire will sponsor this process.

Nice To Haves

A U.S. government security clearance is not required to start but is very helpful.

Responsibilities

Lead multi-disciplinary project teams to solve complex technical problems with robust, high-reliability hardware/firmware design solutions.
Guide hardware and embedded software solutions from initial concept through rapid prototyping to production-ready design.
Write and review high-reliability embedded C code, helping to establish best practices and code quality standards within the EE Group.
Oversee configuration management, document development using version control systems, and ensure design integrity.
Optimize, update, and modernize existing design constructs to meet evolving customer needs.
Oversee and participate in rigorous design verification testing and hands-on field testing of hardware and firmware.
Collaborate closely with other engineers and technicians within the group, serving as a technical sounding board and assisting with complex design reviews.
Provide senior-level project leadership, including planning, organizing, assigning, and overseeing the technical execution of engineering work across various projects while communicating regularly with Project Managers and Project Engineers.
