Ideal candidates have 8+ years in space/defense electronics, strong debugging and test skills, and experience with high-speed interfaces

Qualifications

• Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering or related field required.
• 8+ years designing power, interface, or mixed-signal electronics for space, airborne, or harsh-environment defense systems.
• Experience designing isolated DC/DC power conversion, EMI filters, and transient/over-voltage protection.
• Familiarity with MIL-STD-461/464 EMI/EMC design and test methods.
• Experience with connector selection, pin/harness definition, and derating analysis.
• Strong hardware debugging skills with standard lab equipment.
• Proficiency with schematic capture/circuit simulation tools and worst-case derating analyses.
• US Person status required for access to export controlled data.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

Responsibilities

• Define and own the electrical architecture for EO/IR sensor payloads including power, connectors, grounding, and comms.
• Design, analyze, and test isolated power conversion, EMI filtering, inrush, and protection for low-voltage DC payload power.
• Select connectors, define pin assignments, perform derating analyses, and establish EMI shielding and isolation.
• Design and support high-speed Ethernet (10GbE) and RS-422/I2C/SPI interfaces between sensor electronics and host avionics.
• Support EMI/EMC qualification testing and ESD protection design.
• Select radiation-tolerant components for space and tactical environments.
• Perform parts stress/derating analyses and support hybrid microelectronics selection.
• Collaborate with firmware, mechanical, optical, and systems engineers for bring-up and verification.
• Develop and execute test procedures using oscilloscopes, power supplies, network analyzers, and EMI test gear.
