  • Experience with digital circuit design, analysis, simulation, or testing
  • Understanding of schematic design and PCB/CCA development processes
  • Experience working with processors, FPGAs, memory, or digital communication interfaces
  • Hands-on laboratory experience using electronic test and measurement equipment
  • Ability to work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary engineering team
  • 5+ years of experience developing and designing electronic circuits, CCAs, or multi-assembly electronic systems
  • Experience developing and supporting complex, multi-layer circuit card assemblies
  • Proficiency with electronic design and simulation tools used for schematic development, PCB design support, and hardware analysis
  • Experience with requirements analysis, parts selection, trade studies, hardware architecture, and schematic capture
  • Experience supporting PCB physical layout and applying appropriate design constraints
  • Ability to independently support hardware checkout, troubleshooting, and integration
  • 8+ years of experience developing digital electronics, circuit card assemblies, and/or multi-assembly electronic systems
  • Demonstrated ability to take a hardware design from requirements or initial block-diagram concept through detailed design, hardware fabrication, test, and integration
  • Strong understanding of the complete PCB/CCA design process
  • Advanced experience with schematic capture, design analysis, simulation, and design verification prior to hardware execution
  • Experience developing complex hardware incorporating processors, FPGAs, memory, and high-speed digital interfaces
  • Strong background developing multi-layer CCAs and defining or applying hardware design constraints
  • Ability to provide technical direction, mentor less-experienced engineers, and lead hardware development activities
  • Experience supporting programs through development and transition into production
  • All candidates must be US Citizens due to the nature of the work
  • Clearance or the ability to obtain a clearance

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience designing electronics for missile, aerospace, avionics, defense, or other high-reliability applications
  • Experience with high-speed digital electronics
  • Experience with homogeneous or heterogeneous multiprocessor architectures
  • Familiarity with FPGA development and integration
  • Familiarity with embedded software and hardware/software integration
  • Experience with signal integrity and/or power integrity analysis
