Senior Specialist, Electrical Engineer

L3Harris Technologies•Yorba Linda, CA

7d•$106,500 - $197,500•Onsite

About The Position

The Senior Specialist Electrical Engineer works with L-band RF systems, translating customer requirements into additional requirements and defining solution architectures. The role establishes requirements schemas, links requirements to documentation such as system and subsystem specifications and hardware/RF architecture descriptions, and flows applicable requirements down to software, ASIC, and test teams. The engineer oversees development of qualification test plans to verify that the architecture and solution meet customer requirements. The position works with subject matter experts in GPS and anti-jam signal processing, hardware design, control software, and government qualification standards. It also coordinates with cost account, program, and project management to develop solutions within program budgets and schedules. The role requires knowledge of low- and high-frequency analog and digital circuit design, including RF systems, and supports architecture, design, verification, integration, testing, troubleshooting, technical reviews, and proposal efforts. Travel of 5–10% is required. The role requires an active U.S. Secret security clearance and the ability to obtain one.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree and at least 6 years of relevant experience, or graduate degree and at least 6 years of related experience; alternatively, at least 10 years of related experience in lieu of a degree.
Active U.S. Secret security clearance; the role also requires the ability to obtain a U.S. Secret security clearance.
At least 3 years of experience with receiver, antenna, or radio design.
At least 4 years of hands-on experience working with RF circuitry in a laboratory.
At least 1 year of experience with embedded hardware design.
At least 1 year of FPGA design experience, with emphasis on digital signal processing.
At least 4 years demonstrating strong verbal and written communication skills.
At least 4 years of laboratory experience troubleshooting electronics in analog and RF domains.
At least 3 years of experience using a network analyzer, frequency generator, vector analyzer, and digital/analog oscilloscope.
Solid knowledge of low- and high-frequency RF, analog, and digital circuit design.
Experience with RF systems, ideally GPS receivers.
