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 requirements analysis, architecture definition, schematic capture, simulation, and hardware verification. The engineer will design processor and microcontroller-based circuits, FPGA and CPLD designs, memory interfaces, and high-speed digital communication interfaces. Key responsibilities include performing detailed analysis for timing, thermal performance, signal integrity, power integrity, radiation effects, and EMI/EMC. Candidates must utilize laboratory instruments like oscilloscopes and signal generators to validate designs. Required skills include expertise in spacecraft electrical digital subsystem design, ECAD tools like Cadence and Siemens Xpedition, and programming in MATLAB or Python.

What you'll do

  • Lead the design and development of advanced digital and mixed-signal hardware for space-qualified applications.
  • Support all hardware development phases including requirements analysis, schematic capture, simulation, and manufacturing.
  • Translate system-level requirements into detailed electrical specifications and power architectures.
  • Design circuit topologies for processors, FPGAs, memory interfaces, and high-speed communication protocols.
  • Perform detailed analysis for timing, thermal performance, signal integrity, power integrity, and radiation effects.
  • Troubleshoot hardware issues at the component, board, module, payload, and system levels using laboratory instruments.
  • Conduct trade studies and develop conceptual digital solutions for proposals and new business opportunities.
  • Evaluate component tolerances and environmental impacts to ensure robust design margins for harsh operating environments.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s Degree and minimum 9 years of relevant experience.
  • Graduate Degree and minimum 7 years of related experience.
  • Minimum 13 years of related experience in lieu of a degree.
  • Ability to obtain a TS/SCI security clearance.
  • Experience designing and developing digital hardware systems (preferred).
  • Experience with high-speed or dense processing hardware architectures (preferred).
  • Experience with hardware integration, verification, and debug (preferred).
  • U.S. citizens.
