• Project leadership/technical communication.
• Mentoring junior staff.

Required Skills And Attributes

• B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering with a concentration in microelectronics.
• BSEE and 8 or more years’ experience, or MSEE and 5 or more years’ experience, or PhD and 4 or more years’ experience.
• Extensive experience designing complex, multi‑layer, high‑density PCBs is essential.
• Extensive designing with analog sensors, ADCs, and embedded processors.
• Experience with, 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.
• Experience or familiarity with electronics assembly, wiring, crimping, and soldering.
• Proficiency with electronic laboratory test equipment including digital multimeter, oscilloscope, function generator, and digital voltage and current measurement probes.
• Troubleshooting printed circuit boards and electronics assemblies including cables, sensors, grounding, and noise.
• Ability to grasp, organize, and communicate complex concepts both electrical and organizational and interface with multi‑disciplinary team.
• Basic proficiency interfacing with Linux based systems.
• Basic competence with Matlab data analysis.

Preferred Skills And Attributes

• 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 other business development pursuits.
• Experience working in an R&D environment and working 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).
