Specialist, Electrical Engineer (Carlsbad, CA)

L3Harris Technologies•Carlsbad, CA

3d•$92,500 - $171,500•Onsite

About The Position

L3Harris is seeking an Electrical Engineer with knowledge of analog, digital, or RF engineering. The role participates in complex projects or processes with general oversight, communicates within and outside its function to gain cooperation on operational processes, practices, and procedures, and makes moderate to substantial improvements to systems and processes. The position contributes to departmental goals and operating plans, with direct impact on departmental results. The engineer designs, develops, modifies, tests, evaluates, and integrates electronic equipment, parts, components, and integrated circuitry for complex, high-performance hardware systems. The role supports or leads design activities for new and existing products, including design, development, documentation, verification, manufacturing debug, and product modifications. Design for manufacturing is considered throughout development. The position may also assess vendors, develop specialized algorithms for communications and sensor processing applications, and prepare presentation materials, training, operation manuals, and test procedures. The schedule is 9/80, totaling 80 hours over nine workdays in each 14-day period, with every other Friday off. Travel of 5 to 10% is required.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree and at least 4 years of relevant experience; or a graduate degree and at least 2 years of related experience; or, in lieu of a degree, at least 8 years of related experience.
Knowledge of analog, digital, or RF engineering.
Ability to understand and generate schematics with digital and analog electronic circuits.
Ability to provide guidance for PCB layout.

Nice To Haves

At least 3 years of experience in analog circuit design.
At least 3 years of RF electronics experience.
At least 2 years of schematic capture and PCBA layout experience using Altium or Cadence.
At least 3 years of laboratory experience troubleshooting electronics in analog and RF domains.
At least 2 years of experience using a network analyzer, frequency generator, vector analyzer, and digital or analog oscilloscope.
Familiarity with tactical data links and circuit design.
Experience with A/D and D/A circuit design, interfacing, and use.
Familiarity with industry-standard EDA tools, including schematic capture, PCB layout, and FPGA development or simulation.
Experience developing military products.

Responsibilities

Design, develop, modify, test, evaluate, and integrate electronic equipment, parts, components, and integrated circuitry for complex, high-performance hardware systems.
Determine design approaches and parameters, and analyze electrical requirements for feasibility within time and cost constraints.
Analyze equipment to establish operating data, conduct experimental tests, and evaluate results.
Select components and equipment based on specification and reliability analyses, and identify component characteristics that may affect system performance or sustainability.
Support or lead design activities for new and existing products, predominantly involving medium frequencies or edge rates, while considering design for manufacturing throughout development.
Apply electrical engineering principles and techniques to design, develop, document, verify, and debug manufacturing of products.
Support or lead moderate-complexity modifications to existing products, often driven by component obsolescence and potentially requiring major card-level redesign.
Provide technical solutions to difficult problems and contribute to milestones that affect sub-processes or small project tasks.
Understand and generate schematics containing digital and analog electronic circuits, and provide guidance for PCB layout.
Review vendor capabilities to support development as needed.
Apply specialized knowledge in areas such as analog, digital, FPGA, DSP, CCA, power, antenna, and control systems as required.
Develop, design, and assess methodologies and performance of specialized algorithms for communications and other sensor-processing applications as needed.
Generate presentation materials and training.
Develop and release operation manuals and test procedures.
Travel 5 to 10% of the time.
