TL;DR · Hardware Engineer

As a Hardware Engineer, you will join the team to perform full-cycle PCB design, including requirement gathering, schematic design, component selection, layout supervision, and system integration. You will develop fuzing circuitry for missile systems, create system interconnect diagrams, define wire harnesses, and conduct vendor evaluations to support component sourcing. Your daily work involves building and testing components through lab, ground, and flight tests while performing low-level firmware development for bring-up and root cause analysis. The role requires proficiency with tools like Altium or Eagle, as well as experience with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and thermal chambers. You must be skilled in standard interfaces such as Ethernet, CAN, I2C, SPI, PCIe, and USB while navigating the technical challenges of designing for signal and power integrity within the domain of missile systems and ordnance.

What you'll do

  • Execute full cycle PCB design including requirements gathering, schematic design, component selection, layout, and integration.
  • Develop specialized fuzing circuitry for missile systems.
  • Design and document tailored fuzing systems and effectors in coordination with vehicle development teams.
  • Create system interconnect diagrams and define wire harnesses for internal electronic equipment.
  • Perform low-level firmware development to support hardware bring-up and testing.
  • Conduct root cause analysis to resolve issues during field operations.
  • Execute component testing across laboratory, ground, and flight environments.
  • Perform vendor surveys and evaluations to support the sourcing of system components.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering or equivalent.
  • 3+ years of experience designing, testing, and troubleshooting complex board designs.
  • Proficiency with test equipment including oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, thermal chambers, and automated tests.
  • Familiarity with standard interfaces like Ethernet, CAN, I2C, SPI, PCIe, and USB.
  • Knowledge of modern analog/digital electronics and experience with MCU, CPU, and FPGA technologies.
  • Experience in design for signal integrity and power integrity using CAD tools like Altium or Eagle.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
  • Willingness to travel up to 25% of the time for testing purposes.
