TL;DR · Scientist, Electrical Engineer

The Scientist, Electrical Engineer joins the engineering team to lead complex hardware development for military GPS electronics. This role involves deriving requirements from customers, defining system architectures, and managing requirements schemas to flow down to software and test groups. Key responsibilities include overseeing qualification test plans, performing root cause analysis, and developing circuit designs for RF systems. The candidate will utilize a technical stack including FPGA and ASIC design, UVM/System Verilog driven simulation, Palladium-based emulation, and tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, P-Spice, Altium, Agilent ADS, and Ansys HFSS. Expertise in digital signal processing, schematics capture, PCBA layout, and high-speed analog design is essential. The position solves critical technical problems in GPS signal processing and anti-jam electronics within a defense technology context.

What you'll do

  • Derive technical requirements from customer needs and define the architecture for hardware solutions.
  • Setup requirements schemas and link requirements to system specifications and architecture documents.
  • Flow down applicable requirements to software, ASIC, and test groups to ensure end-to-end solution realization.
  • Oversee the development of qualification test plans to ensure architecture satisfies customer requirements.
  • Develop circuit designs, design descriptions, and verification plans using FPGA and ASIC design methodologies.
  • Execute design, build, integration, and test activities while performing root cause analysis for problem resolution.
  • Provide project management reports and technical inputs for proposal efforts and senior-level customer reviews.
  • Interface with cross-functional teams to conduct technical review presentations and provide progress status updates.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s Degree with 10 years relevant experience, Graduate Degree with 7 years, or 13 years experience without a degree.
  • 5+ years of experience in multi-processor system FPGA/ASIC development from RTL design through structural netlist timing closure.
  • 5+ years of experience in schematics design capture and PCBA Layout using modern EE CAD such as Altium or Mentor Graphics.
  • 6+ years of experience with receiver, Antenna, or Radio design (RF).
  • 4+ years of experience with embedded Hardware design.
  • 2+ years of experience with FPGA design with an emphasis on digital signal processing (DSP).
  • Active Secret Security Clearance.
  • U.S. citizens.
