Job summary

LMK Recruiting Solutions seeks an experienced Electrical Engineer to design and integrate advanced hardware for aerospace and high‑reliability domains. You will own end‑to‑end electrical subsystems, from concept through production release, collaborating across multi‑discipline teams to ensure robust, manufacturable, aviation‑grade hardware.

The role emphasizes hands‑on development in lab and production environments, with a focus on power electronics, embedded digital systems, and system

Qualifications

• Minimum of 8 years of experience developing and shipping complex electronic hardware.
• Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.

Responsibilities

• Lead system architecture and integration across complex, multi‑domain programs.
• Own electrical subsystems end‑to‑end — from concept, through validation, to production release.
• Design and develop power electronics, embedded digital, and mixed‑signal hardware using ECAD tools (Altium, Cadence, or equivalent).
• Drive DFM/DFT/DFC/DFA/Cost decisions early, ensuring designs scale cleanly into manufacturing.
• Create robust schematics and guide PCB layout, with signal integrity and EMI/EMC discipline, and production‑ready documentation.
• Architect and implement communication bus physical layers (CAN and other aviation buses) for fault‑tolerant, certifiable avionics data communication.
• Partner with suppliers and contract manufacturers to support prototype builds, first‑article inspections, and production ramp.
• Define validation and test strategy, including ICT, boundary scan, functional test coverage, ESS, and production yield metrics.
• Support lab bring‑up and integration, troubleshooting issues, root‑cause investigations, and iterative designs.
• Perform electrical analysis (SPICE, power‑stage evaluation, SI, thermal, EMI mitigation).
• Participate in design reviews to ensure system‑level performance, safety, reliability, manufacturability, and cost targets.
• Get hands‑on during board bring‑up, system integration, and hardware testing.
