Electrical Engineer

The role

You will design and develop electronics for next-generation radar systems. This includes board-level hardware development across mixed-signal, power, timing, and control electronics from requirements through production.

What you will do

• Design and develop PCBAs and electrical subsystems for next-generation radar hardware
• Translate system and subsystem requirements into schematics and board-level designs
• Support PCB layout and perform design checks
• Contribute to designs of mixed-signal, power, timing, and control electronics
• Perform hardware bring-up, laboratory testing, debugging, and electrical validation
• Analyze test results and assist with resolving hardware design issues
• Work with cross-functional engineers to integrate complete hardware systems
• Participate in design reviews and incorporate technical feedback
• Support prototype builds, manufacturing transition, and deployment activities
• Develop engineering tools, test software, and laboratory automation using Python

Required qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline
• 3+ years relevant experience designing or testing board-level electronics
• Experience with schematic capture and PCB design using Altium Designer or equivalent software
• Experience participating in hardware development from design through prototype bring-up and validation
• Working knowledge of mixed-signal design fundamentals, including power integrity, signal integrity, grounding, and EMI/EMC-aware layout
• Hands-on experience with board bring-up, debugging, and electrical validation
• Experience using circuit-simulation tools such as LTspice
• Experience developing engineering tools or test automation using Python
• Strong technical communication and documentation skills
• Ability to work effectively with cross-functional engineering teams

Nice to have

• Eligibility to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance
• Experience designing electronics for radar, aerospace, defense, communications, or other mission-critical applications
• Familiarity with FPGAs, embedded processors, or high-speed digital hardware
• Familiarity with product lifecycle management systems such as Arena
• Experience working in a multidisciplinary hardware-development environment
• Familiarity with RF hardware or RF system integration
