Electrical Engineer, Hardware Platform, 5+ years of experience

The role

Electrical Engineers will support defense hardware development across propulsion and weapons systems programs. This includes leading full-cycle PCB design, optimizing circuits for safety-critical applications, and conducting design analysis and testing.

What you will do

• Lead full-cycle PCB design for high-reliability defense hardware
• Design and optimize circuits for safety-critical aerospace and defense applications
• Conduct design analysis including worst-case, thermal, DFMEA, component derating, and signal/power integrity
• Execute board bring-ups and lead Design Verification Testing, qualification testing, and functional testing
• Develop system interconnect diagrams and define wire harnesses
• Collaborate with mechanical, thermal, software, systems, quality, and manufacturing teams
• Conduct peer-level and cross-discipline design reviews
• Perform root cause and failure analysis
• Support vendor surveys and component sourcing

Required qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
• 5+ years of experience designing, testing, and troubleshooting complex PCB designs
• Strong fundamentals in analog, digital, and power electronics
• Proficiency with electronic CAD tools
• Familiarity with circuit simulation tools (LTSpice or equivalent)
• Competence with lab test equipment: oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, thermal chambers, current probes, spectrum analyzers, and test automation
• Familiarity with standard interfaces including CAN, I2C, SPI, Ethernet, USB, and PCIe
• Common MCU/CPU/FPGA architectures
• Experience designing for signal integrity and power integrity
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance

Nice to have

• Active DoD Secret or Top Secret clearance, or DOE L/Q
• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering
• 5+ years of experience in defense, aerospace, UAS, missile, or maritime hardware development
• Experience with propulsion electronics: motor controllers, power distribution/conversion, flight controller circuits, or electromagnetic actuators
• Experience with fuzing, ordnance, or other safety-critical weapon systems electronics
• Familiarity with MIL-STD-1316, MIL-STD-882E, MIL-STD-2105, or DoD Weapons Safety Board processes
• Experience with MATLAB/Simulink for control loop modeling or system simulation
• Familiarity with avionics design standards: DO-254, DO-178C, DO-160
• Experience scaling electronics designs to production volume
• Altium Designer preferred

Benefits

• Comprehensive, competitive benefits package available at little to no cost to employees

Before you apply

• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
• Consent to pre-employment risk, integrity, and due diligence screening
