About The Position

The Receiver, Exciter & Processing Architecture (REPA) Department is seeking an Electrical Engineer to help develop and produce next-generation radar receiver, exciter, and transmitter subsystems. The Senior Hardware Design Engineer applies knowledge of Circuit Card Assemblies (CCAs) and analytical skills to design and develop products for signal processing, command, and control. The role covers mixed-signal hardware for new and existing products, collaborating with systems, mechanical, manufacturing, and electrical engineers on design trades, requirements flow-down, electrical analysis, test planning, and delivery of hardware that meets program requirements. The position also provides technical support during transition to production and ongoing production activities. Opportunities may include leading small projects or processes, with cost and schedule management, proposal writing, and presentations identified as desired skills. This is a first-shift, 100% onsite position based in Tewksbury or Marlborough, Massachusetts, with anticipated travel between Massachusetts sites. Occasional travel to supplier, integration, and customer sites may also be required. The role requires the ability to obtain and maintain an Interim Secret U.S. government security clearance before the start date; U.S. citizenship is required. An active and transferable U.S. government-issued clearance is also stated as required prior to the start date.

Requirements

Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) and at least 5 years of relevant experience.
Combined experience in two or more of the following areas: digital design from requirements development through build and test; RF/analog design from requirements development through build and test; production testing and circuit troubleshooting.
Experience with design simulation tools such as HyperLynx or LTSpice and analytical tools such as Matlab.
Experience with design development tools such as Mentor Graphics' Xpedition schematic capture and layout.
Ability to obtain and maintain an Interim Secret U.S. government-issued security clearance before the start date.
U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.
The posting also states that an active and transferable U.S. government-issued security clearance is required prior to the start date.

Nice To Haves

Experience interfacing with and testing digital-to-analog converters (D/A) and analog-to-digital converters (A/D).
Experience with high-speed digital interfaces such as JESD204B, DDR3 or DDR4 memory, SERDES, 10G+ Ethernet, or Fiber Channel.
Background in FPGA hardware inference designs, including SERDES and LVDS chip-to-chip and board-to-board.
Experience allocating and flowing down requirements from system to component level.
Experience with cost estimating, budget management, and schedule management.
Laboratory experience using logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, a phase noise analyzer (PNA), and a spectrum analyzer to test and verify digital and mixed-signal circuits and systems.
Experience in a production environment.
Experience in technical writing, proposal writing, and oral presentations.
Active or existing Secret U.S. security clearance.
Team leadership skills, including cost and schedule management, proposal writing, and presentation experience.

Responsibilities

Perform circuit and subsystem architecture, design, modeling, simulation, and verification.
Integrate and test hardware at component, CCA, and subsystem levels.
Support transition to production and provide technical support to manufacturing and test engineers.
Collaborate with systems, mechanical, manufacturing, and electrical engineers on design trades, requirements flow-down, electrical analysis, and test plans.
Deliver working mixed-signal hardware that meets program requirements.
Travel occasionally to supplier, integration, and customer sites, and between Massachusetts work sites.
Potentially manage small projects or processes within the area of responsibility.
