Staff Electrical Engineer - Advanced Radar & Mission Critical System

• Computer/Software

Staff Electrical Engineer — Advanced Radar & Mission-Critical Systems

Location: Sioux Falls, SD
Relocation Assistance Provided
U.S. Citizenship Required | Must Be Eligible to Obtain a Security Clearance

Build advanced electronics. Own critical design decisions. See your work move from concept to deployment.

We’re seeking a Staff Electrical Engineer who enjoys solving demanding hardware challenges and staying close to the technology. In this hands‑on leadership role, you’ll design sophisticated electronic systems supporting radar and mission‑critical applications, guide technical decisions, and mentor fellow engineers.

If your strengths include high‑speed digital design, FPGA‑based systems, and hardware bring‑up, this opportunity offers meaningful ownership across the full development lifecycle.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

• Own the engineering: Shape system architecture and lead designs through prototyping, testing, and deployment.
• Work on challenging technology: Combine high‑speed interfaces, FPGAs, embedded processors, mixed‑signal electronics, and RF components.
• Stay hands‑on: Build, test, troubleshoot, and refine hardware in the laboratory.
• Expand your impact: Mentor engineers and collaborate with customers, suppliers, and multidisciplinary teams.
• Make your next move with support: Relocation assistance is provided.

What You’ll Do

• Design and validate high-speed digital, embedded, and mixed-signal electronic systems.
• Develop circuitry using PCIe, DDR4/5, Ethernet, SGMII, USB, SPI, and I²C.
• Create FPGA logic using VHDL/HDL and support processor and system integration.
• Develop schematics and PCB layouts using Altium or comparable tools.
• Lead hardware bring‑up, verification, debugging, and root‑cause analysis.
• Build test setups and procedures to evaluate performance and reliability.
• Support prototype assembly, component rework, and field troubleshooting.
• Guide technical reviews, maintain clear documentation, and meet applicable quality, safety, and regulatory requirements.

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• Approximately 8–12 years of relevant engineering experience.
• Strong high‑speed digital design, signal integrity, and embedded electronics experience.
• Hands‑on FPGA, VHDL/HDL, and microprocessor architecture knowledge.
• Proficiency in schematic capture and PCB design.
• Experience with high‑speed digital interfaces and laboratory instrumentation.
• Strong technical judgment, communication skills, and the ability to lead complex problem‑solving.
• Familiarity with Git or Subversion.

Experience That Adds Value

RF and GHz-frequency design; power electronics; aerospace, defense, or ruggedized hardware; thermal analysis and conduction cooling; and experience with spectrum analyzers, vector network analyzers, and signal generators.

Additional Requirements

U.S. citizenship and eligibility for access to classified government information are required. The role involves hands‑on laboratory work and may require occasional travel.
