Job description

Job Description

We are seeking a highly motivated senior-level Electronics Engineer to join our Sensing and Communications Department.

Successful candidates will have a BS, MS, or PhD degree in electrical engineering with a focus in analog and digital circuit design.

Successful applicants will support the design and development, troubleshooting, production, and sustainment of a wide variety of underwater maritime electrical and electromechanical systems.

Candidates must have a proven track record of designing and implementing custom PCBs, preferably for prototype R&D systems.

Experience should include designing mixed‑signal PCBs with ADCs & DACs, microcontrollers, DC/DC converters, digital communications protocols (RS232/RS422, I2C, I2S, SPI, McBSP), high‑speed signaling, signal conditioning, preamplifiers, power amplifiers, energy storage and power management, and interfacing to embedded microprocessors.

Previous experience laying out boards and/or managing vendors that provide layout services is highly desired.

Laboratory experience with power supplies, multi‑meters, oscilloscopes, and data acquisition systems is required, including experience with integration and testing of PCBs, electronics components and systems.

Candidates should be able to participate in a multi‑disciplinary team environment with other engineering disciplines to solve technical and logistical problems.

We work on exciting, technically challenging, cutting‑edge technologies that will expose candidates to a wide variety of multidisciplinary fields and allow for unique growth opportunities and learning experiences.

Here, you will work in a small company environment where technical excellence is rewarded, and an entrepreneurial spirit is encouraged.

You will have the chance to work directly with colleagues and customers that value innovation and creativity.

Job Functions And Responsibilities

• Design, integration, troubleshooting, production, and sustainment of complex electrical and electro‑mechanical systems.
• Design, procurement, and testing of custom analog/digital PCBs.
• Travel to support exercises.
• Project leadership and technical communication.
• Mentoring junior staff.

Required Skills And Attributes

• B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering with a concentration in microelectronics.
• 8+ years experience as BSEE, 5+ years as MSEE, or 4+ years as PhD.
• Extensive experience designing complex, multi‑layer, high‑density PCBs.
• Experience with analog sensors, ADCs, and embedded processors.
• Experience or oversight of electronic layout, bill‑of‑materials, and assembly process.
• Understanding of digital signal processing techniques and processes.
• Experience with low‑noise electronics design.
• Basic understanding of MATLAB‑aided data analysis.
• Familiarity with electronics assembly, wiring, crimping, and soldering.
• Proficiency with laboratory test equipment: digital multi‑meter, oscilloscope, function generator, voltage and current measurement probes.
• Troubleshooting PCBs and electronics assemblies, including cables, sensors, grounding, and noise.
• Ability to grasp, organize, and communicate complex electrical and organizational concepts; interface with multi‑disciplinary teams.
• Basic proficiency with Linux‑based systems.
• Basic competence with MATLAB data analysis.

Preferred Skills And Attributes

• MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering with a concentration in microelectronics.
• Prior experience designing electronics for underwater maritime systems.
• Prior experience creating technical content for new products, ideas, or business development.
• Experience working in an R&D environment and in small multidisciplinary teams.
• Experience mentoring junior EE staff on electronics design, PCB implementation, and board troubleshooting.
• Experience briefing customers.
• Experience with C/C++ coding for microcontrollers (or similar, e.g., Python).

This position is located in Groton, CT with full relocation provided. The position can also be based out of our Concord, MA office.
