Responsibilities
- Use electronic design and simulation tools to develop and analyze circuit designs.
- Create design review packages and present circuit designs at peer reviews, including analysis, performance budgets, and test data demonstrating compliance with functional requirements.
- Create test plans and procedures to validate circuit implementations against functional requirements.
- Translate system-level requirements into detailed implementation-level block diagrams.
- Lead bench-level system integration involving hardware, microcontrollers, FPGAs, and software designs.
- Work with Operations to transition testing and integration of new electronic hardware into production.
- Support project planning and execution, design reviews, and production release of modified or new product documentation.
- Review product specifications and generate system- and module-level block diagrams, flow diagrams, and design concepts.
- Generate trade studies analyzing cost and schedule impacts for short-turnaround efforts.
- Support proposal efforts and early program stages to define detailed system requirements.
- Design, build, and test digital and mixed-signal circuit boards.
- Program and debug microcontrollers in embedded C.
