Job Category: Engineering – Electrical

Job Type: Full Time

Schedule: Work 9 out of every 14 days – totaling 80 hours worked – every other Friday off

Join a dynamic team in the aerospace sector as a Digital Hardware Engineer, where you\'ll take ownership of the full hardware lifecycle—from conceptualizing high-level requirements to seeing your designs move through manufacturing and into the field.

Responsibilities

• High-Speed Digital Protocols: Demonstrate comprehensive technical knowledge of embedded microprocessor design and integration for ARM Cores, DDR memory interfaces, and high-bandwidth USB and Ethernet.
• Design Simulation & Analysis: Utilize simulation tools such as LTSpice for circuitry, HyperLynx for signal integrity, and MATLAB for system-level modeling.
• Advanced Architecture & PCB Design: Lead the full design cycle, including requirement analysis, schematic capture (using Mentor VX/Designer), and complex high-speed layout analysis.
• Verification & Validation (V&V): Execute subsystem and system-level test plans, using lab equipment like oscilloscopes and logic analyzers to identify and resolve critical hardware defects.
• Compliance & Reliability Engineering: Design for MIL-STD-461 (EMI/EMC) and adhere to IPC standards to ensure hardware survivability in high-reliability environments.
• Security Clearance Eligibility: Ability to obtain and maintain a US Security Clearance.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical/computer engineering or a related field.
• 6+ years of relevant experience (4+ years with a master’s degree).

Preferred Additional Skills

• Familiarity with SDR architectures, embedded SW/VHDL, and configuration management tools like Agile.
• Nuanced understanding of Software Defined Radio (SDR) architectures and interactions between digital boards and RF circuitry.
• Experience using embedded software, scripting (e.g., Python), or VHDL to automate design analysis and facilitate rapid troubleshooting.
• Proficiency with Agile PLM software to manage product data and streamline manufacturing introduction.
• Familiarity with Boundary Scan tools (JTAG) for testing high-density PCBAs where physical probe access is limited.
