Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience.

Eligibility for a Top Secret security clearance.

Working knowledge of:

• Analog and digital circuit design, including PCB design, layout, fabrication, documentation, and testing tools.
• PCB fabrication and assembly techniques.
• Circuit testing tools such as oscilloscopes, signal analyzers, multimeters, and signal generators.
• Low-power microcontrollers using C/C++ programming.
• Programmable Logic devices (CPLD & FPGA).

Experience working in team environments to develop solutions, deliver products, and evaluate performance.

Experience analyzing experimental data to inform design modifications.

Strong technical writing skills for reports and briefings.

Qualifications

Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience.

Experience with Altium Designer and VHLD.

Current Top Secret security clearance.

Experience in custom circuit card design, integration, and testing.

Self-starter with the ability to identify technical challenges, collaborate on solutions, and work independently when needed.

Ability to adopt a system-of-systems approach to requirements and produce reliable, robust designs.

Experience in laboratory and at-sea testing and evaluation.
