About The Position

ALTEN Technology USA is an engineering company that helps clients develop products in industries including aerospace, medical devices, robotics, automotive, commercial vehicles, electric vehicles, and rail. The company is part of the global ALTEN Group and supports product development from consulting through full project outsourcing. The Senior Electrical Engineer supports bring-up, characterization, validation, and integration of printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) for advanced electronic and analytical instrument platforms. The role involves reviewing existing PCBA designs, developing and executing hardware test plans, troubleshooting prototypes and system-level hardware, and integrating PCBAs into electromechanical and instrument-level systems. The engineer documents test results, engineering findings, and Theory of Operation documentation, implements design updates, and supports qualified hardware release into production. The role also contributes to multiple new product development programs by adapting existing hardware architectures to changing product requirements, collaborating with cross-functional engineering teams, and using laboratory diagnostic equipment. The position is hybrid in Boulder, Colorado, with four days in the office. The listed salary range is $120,000–$150,000; the actual offer depends on factors including location, job-related knowledge, qualifications, skills, education, training, and experience. Selected candidates must successfully complete a pre-employment drug screening.
