About The Position

This engineering position requires the ability to design and document complex electromechanical interconnect assemblies using CAD and other PC-based design tools. Responsibilities include all aspects of interconnect design, including work with traditional multi-conductor cables, fiber optic cables, RF cables, high speed data cables, and flex circuits. Knowledge of different connector types and backshells, especially military, is desirable. The candidate will work closely with other engineering disciplines to define the system signal requirements, and review design solutions. Previous experience with military cables and requirements is a plus. Responsibilities include all aspects of cable design such as meeting environmental, signal integrity, EMC/EMI, and other manufacturing requirements. Successful candidates will be members of a highly motivated, multi-disciplined, cross-functional design engineering team chartered specifically to champion interconnect engineering. Due to the nature of our work this position requires the ability to obtain and maintain a Department of Defense security clearance.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree (Mechanical, Electrical, RF, Manufacturing, etc.) and minimum 4 years of prior relevant experience.
• Graduate Degree and a minimum of 2 years of prior related experience.
• In lieu of a degree, a minimum of 8 years of prior related experience.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a Department of Defense security clearance.
