• Design, build, integrate, and test mixed-signal, low-voltage current-driver boards.
• Develop circuit designs incorporating microcontrollers, including embedded C programming, debugging, and integration.
• Design and support stepper motor control circuits.
• Lead bench-level system integration involving hardware, software, and FPGA-based designs.
• Develop design review packages, including analysis, performance budgets, and test data demonstrating compliance with functional requirements.
• Create test plans and procedures to validate circuit performance and functional requirements.
• Participate in peer and customer design reviews and effectively communicate technical concepts and results.
• Support project planning, design reviews, production releases, and updates to product documentation.
• Take ownership of engineering projects from concept through design, integration, test, and production.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree with 6+ years of relevant experience, or a graduate degree with 4+ years of relevant experience.
• Experience designing and developing digital, analog, power, and mixed-signal electronics.
• Hands-on experience with microcontroller-based board design.
• Experience with embedded C programming and microcontroller debugging.
• Ability to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance.
