About The Position

Lynntech is seeking an experienced electronics engineer to develop custom electronic hardware, embedded firmware, and integrated electrical systems for prototype products in the defense, aerospace, and medical markets. The role spans the product development lifecycle, from early-stage proof-of-concept through prototype development and testing to qualification of production-ready designs. The engineer develops multidisciplinary electrical solutions, including embedded firmware and software, custom circuit boards, integration of custom and commercial components, design for manufacturability, and system verification and validation. The position combines theoretical engineering and hands-on lab validation, with projects ranging from breadboard proof-of-concepts to minimum viable products. In addition to technical execution, the senior engineer may lead project teams, mentor other engineers, collaborate on proposals, support customer and technology-transition activities, and help advance new technologies. Lynntech describes varied long-term opportunities to grow as a technical expert or take on project, personnel, or other leadership roles.
