Job description

The Senior Electrical Design Engineer will design low-noise, mixed-signal, circuits/systems for high performance sonar equipment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Participate with other engineers in the overall architectural design for sonar product platforms & systems
• Act as lead for critical analog design elements to include low-noise analog front end, signal acquisition, signal integrity, and system grounding.
• Work with new and established projector and receive transducer designs in the creation of transmit amplifiers and associated power systems
• Work with board layout design engineers and mechanical engineers to create PCBs and integrated electronic packages. Will also need to work with transducer engineers to integrate electromechanical designs with electronic components.
• Lead board and system bring-up activities and work with other engineers to insure product functionality.
• Participate in at-sea testing of sonar systems
• Develop system and board level tests and test procedures to ensure that the product meets electrical and engineering specifications. Use these procedures to transfer products to manufacturing.
• Support manufacturing efforts in the turn-key production and in-house testing of assembled PCBs and subsequent larger electronic subassemblies
• Interface with others in the engineering organization on engineering change orders, new product transfers, bills of material structure and entry

Job Qualifications:

• BSEE. MSEE preferred.
• 10+ years of hands-on experience in analog design with experience in low-noise techniques for circuit design and board layout
• Must have experience integrating, testing, and verifying complex systems. Experience with sonar or radar is huge plus.
• Must have working experience with various tools including analog simulation and schematic capture, as well as test/measurement equipment.
• This role requires someone who is well motivated and a team-player. Must be able to share knowledge, learn from others, and support other groups within the organization
