Build advanced electronics. Own critical design decisions. See your work move from concept to deployment.
We’re seeking a Staff Electrical Engineer who enjoys solving demanding hardware challenges and staying close to the technology. In this hands-on leadership role, you’ll design sophisticated electronic systems supporting radar and mission-critical applications, guide technical decisions, and mentor fellow engineers.
If your strengths include high-speed digital design, FPGA-based systems, and hardware bring-up, this opportunity offers meaningful ownership across the full development lifecycle.
Why Consider This Opportunity?
- Own the engineering: Shape system architecture and lead designs through prototyping, testing, and deployment.
- Work on challenging technology: Combine high-speed interfaces, FPGAs, embedded processors, mixed-signal electronics, and RF components.
- Stay hands-on: Build, test, troubleshoot, and refine hardware in the laboratory.
- Expand your impact: Mentor engineers and collaborate with customers, suppliers, and multidisciplinary teams.
- Make your next move with support: Relocation assistance is provided.
What You’ll Do
- Design and validate high-speed digital, embedded, and mixed-signal electronic systems.
- Develop circuitry using PCIe, DDR4/5, Ethernet, SGMII, USB, SPI, and I²C.
- Create FPGA logic using VHDL/HDL and support processor and system integration.
- Develop schematics and PCB layouts using Altium or comparable tools.
- Lead hardware bring-up, verification, debugging, and root-cause analysis.
- Build test setups and procedures to evaluate performance and reliability.
- Support prototype assembly, component rework, and field troubleshooting.
- Guide technical reviews, maintain clear documentation, and meet applicable quality, safety, and regulatory requirements.
What You’ll Bring
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field, or equivalent experience.
- Approximately 8–12 years of relevant engineering experience.
- Strong high-speed digital design, signal integrity, and embedded electronics experience.
- Hands-on FPGA, VHDL/HDL, and microprocessor architecture knowledge.
- Proficiency in schematic capture and PCB design.
- Experience with high-speed digital interfaces and laboratory instrumentation.
- Strong technical judgment, communication skills, and the ability to lead complex problem-solving.
- Familiarity with Git or Subversion.
Experience That Adds Value
RF and GHz-frequency design; power electronics; aerospace, defense, or ruggedized hardware; thermal analysis and conduction cooling; and experience with spectrum analyzers, vector network analyzers, and signal generators.
Additional Requirements
U.S. citizenship and eligibility for access to classified government information are required. The role involves hands-on laboratory work and may require occasional travel.
