Senior Specialist, Electrical Engineer
About The Position
The Senior Specialist, Electrical Engineer will join a team supporting military communication products throughout their lifecycle. Working from a laboratory adjacent to manufacturing, the engineer investigates problems involving analog, digital, and RF hardware; diagnoses issues to the component level; determines solutions through experimentation and simulation; and implements corrective actions. The role collaborates across multifunctional teams and provides electrical engineering support and guidance to technicians and junior engineers. For new product launches, the engineer works across engineering on root-cause analysis and prototype troubleshooting to help ensure successful transition to full-rate production. The role also supports digital and related analog hardware designs and performs detailed analysis of analog, digital, and/or RF circuitry.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering and at least 6 years of prior relevant experience; or a graduate degree and at least 4 years of prior related experience; or, in lieu of a degree, at least 10 years of prior related Electrical Engineering experience.
- Ability to troubleshoot analog and digital circuits to the component level.
- Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
- Ability to design and conduct engineering experiments and act on test results.
- Ability to design and analyze circuits and components using simulation tools.
- Experience leading a small technical design or troubleshooting team, providing direction, and prioritizing tasks to meet target yields and shipments.
- Ability to work in a fast-paced environment and interface with multiple teams across the organization.
- Ability to use typical laboratory equipment, including oscilloscopes, DMMs, spectrum and network analyzers, logic analyzers, and signal generators.
- Strong problem-solving skills and motivation to learn.
- Ability to analyze designs and communicate technical information to support staff.
- Ability to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance.
