TL;DR · Lead Electrical Engineering, Digital Hardware

Lead, Electrical Engineering - Digital Hardware joins the engineering team to support the design and development of advanced space-qualified digital hardware for mission-critical applications. This role involves leading the development of digital and mixed-signal hardware, including processor-based circuits, FPGA designs, memory interfaces, and high-speed communication protocols like PCI Express and Ethernet. The engineer will perform detailed analysis on signal integrity, thermal performance, radiation effects, and EMI/EMC while troubleshooting issues at the board and system levels using oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers. Key responsibilities include translating requirements into power architectures, conducting trade studies for new business, and collaborating with cross-functional teams. Required skills include expertise in high-speed digital design, ECAD tools like Cadence or Hyperlynx, and programming in MATLAB or Python to solve complex technical challenges within the aerospace and defense domain.

What you'll do

  • Lead the design and development of advanced digital and mixed-signal hardware using established electrical engineering principles.
  • Manage all phases of hardware development including requirements analysis, architecture definition, schematic capture, and verification.
  • Translate customer and system-level requirements into detailed electrical specifications and power architectures.
  • Design complex circuit topologies for processors, FPGAs, memory interfaces, and high-speed digital communication.
  • Perform detailed analyses for timing, thermal performance, signal integrity, power integrity, and radiation effects.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve hardware issues at the component, board, module, and system levels using laboratory instruments.
  • Conduct trade studies and develop conceptual digital solutions to support proposals and new business opportunities.
  • Evaluate component tolerances and environmental impacts to ensure robust designs for high-reliability space applications.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s Degree and at least 9 years of experience in a relevant STEM field, or a Graduate Degree and at least 7 years of experience.
  • Experience designing and developing digital hardware systems.
  • Experience with high-speed or dense processing hardware architectures.
  • Experience with hardware integration, verification, and debug.
  • Experience working in a collaborative engineering development environment.
  • Ability to obtain a TS/SCI security clearance (preferred).
  • Experience with mission-critical applications for space, aerospace, defense, or medical fields (preferred).
  • U.S. citizens.
