Job description

Join a global leader in rugged embedded computing solutions serving some of the world’s most demanding defense, aerospace, industrial, and commercial applications. With a strong reputation for high-performance, open-architecture computing, the organization develops advanced electronics designed to operate reliably in mission-critical environments.

The Huntsville engineering organization works on sophisticated embedded computing platforms used across air, land, and sea defense programs, as well as high-reliability industrial applications.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Work on advanced Single Board Computers (SBCs), FPGA/DSP carrier boards, sensor processing modules, and I/O products

Design next-generation hardware using Intel and ARM processors, DDR4/DDR5, FPGAs, MPSoCs, and RFSoCs

Develop high-speed digital architectures involving PCIe and multi-Gigabit Ethernet

Take technical ownership of complex hardware programs from architecture and design through board bring-up, validation, and production release

Collaborate with experienced hardware, FPGA, software, systems, product management, manufacturing, and program teams

Have the opportunity to influence product architecture, engineering processes, emerging technologies, and best practices

Join a Huntsville engineering organization working on technology where performance, reliability, and ruggedization are critical

They Value and Appreciate Their Employees

This is an opportunity to join an engineering-driven organization where senior engineers are trusted with significant technical ownership and are encouraged to bring forward new ideas and approaches.

Your Role with the Company

As a Senior Hardware Design Engineer, you will serve as a senior technical contributor and design authority for complex embedded hardware programs. You will design, develop, test, debug, and support advanced electronic systems while working with a high degree of independence. You will design digital hardware incorporating Intel and ARM-based processors, DDR memory, FPGAs, MPSoCs, and RFSoCs, along with high-speed interfaces such as DDR4/DDR5, PCIe, and multi-Gigabit Ethernet.
