• System design, deriving and allocating requirements to sub systems and components.
• Project Engineering responsibilities include technical leadership/mentorship of junior engineers and leading the multidisciplinary project team.
• Candidate will work directly with Program Management and external customers to develop cost and schedule estimates, staffing plans, status reports, etc.
• Develop system diagrams, system data sheets, component specifications, test plans, and provide input to user’s manuals.
• Support building and testing prototype systems, HW and SW integration, and field testing.
• Support transition to production including generation of module and system test procedures.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering with a Master’s Degree Preferred.
• Relevant industry experience in high technology electronics development is a must including antennas, transceivers, DSP/FPGA technology and the associated productization of new technology.
• Experience with military ground and airborne environments is an advantage.

New and recent graduates are also asked to send an unofficial transcript.
