Senior Electrical and Electronics Engineer

Senior Electrical and Electronics Engineer

This is a hands‑on engineering role (~70–80% design) with customer‑facing and project coordination responsibilities typical for a small, collaborative engineering team. The position is full time, in‑person in Lakewood, Colorado, with occasional travel (<10%).

Because this role involves ITAR‑controlled information, all applicants must be a U.S. Person as defined in ITAR 120.15.

Responsibilities

• Electronics design of analog and digital circuits, including requirements development, circuit design, part selection, schematic capture, PCB design, and development testing; take designed hardware through the entire product development lifecycle, from concept to production.
• Perform and document analyses such as worst‑case circuit and tolerance analysis, electrical power and stress analysis, component derating, FMEA, signal and power integrity, EMI/EMC assessment, voltage‑drop and current‑capacity analysis, timing and interface‑margin analysis, battery‑capacity analysis, transient and inrush‑current analysis, and power‑dissipation or junction‑temperature calculations using SPICE simulation, manual calculations, or tools like HyperLynx.
• Lead technical and peer design reviews.
• Provide technical direction and mentoring to less‑experienced engineers.
• Develop engineering standards, templates, and reusable design practices.
• Serve as the technical point of contact for assigned projects.
• Write technical proposals, estimate hours and budgets for new projects, and organize project development plans.
• Coordinate with customers and develop project requirements, schedules, identify critical tasks, and deliver objectives on time and on budget.

Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical or Electronics Engineering (or similar) from an accredited university.
• Minimum of 10 years of relevant industry experience.
• Experience designing, analyzing, bringing up, and troubleshooting board‑level electronics.
• Experience taking electronics through multiple phases of the product‑development lifecycle.
• Proficiency with schematic‑capture and circuit‑simulation tools.
• Experience with common electronics laboratory equipment.
• Ability to prepare clear technical documentation and present engineering results during design reviews.
• Proficiency with common engineering documentation tools and Microsoft Office applications.
• Strong sense of ownership, ability to work independently on large, open‑ended projects, and handle problems efficiently, on time and on budget.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Must be a U.S. Person.

Additional Desirable but Not Mandatory Skills

• Experience with high‑reliability requirements in aerospace, space, or medical device industries.
• Experience with Altium Designer or similar PCB design tools.
• Experience with analog, mixed‑signal, digital, or power electronics.
• Experience with board bring‑up, troubleshooting, and environmental qualification testing.
• Experience with high‑reliability electronics standards and practices.
• Experience preparing technical proposals, schedules, and labor estimates.

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary range: $130,500–$195,000 annually.
• Flexible 9‑80 schedule with alternating 3‑day weekends.
• 120 hours of accrued PTO annually, seven paid holidays.
• Medical/dental/vision insurance with MEE paying approximately 75% of premiums.
• 401(k) plan with employer matching up to 5%.
• Eligibility for an annual performance bonus.
