Your role involves partnering with architecture and product management teams to define system requirements and then taking full ownership of PCB and electrical system design, ensuring manufacturability and testability. You will collaborate closely with mechanical engineers on high-power component integration and optimize designs based on size, weight, power, and electromagnetic compatibility constraints. Essential skills include 8+ years of professional experience in digital and analog electronics design, troubleshooting hardware issues, and creating comprehensive documentation. Familiarity with switch mode power supply design and proficiency in scripting languages like Python or Matlab are preferred. This role demands a secret security clearance and the ability to work independently on undefined requirements while delivering robust, scalable solutions for full-rate production.

What you'll do

  • Own and lead electrical integration activities for surveillance tower systems.
  • Design and validate electronics for embedded compute and power systems to ensure reliability.
  • Optimize high-power component selection, design, and integration with mechanical engineers.
  • Troubleshoot hardware issues and implement improvements to enhance product performance.
  • Develop comprehensive documentation for design requirements, specifications, and test coverage.

What we're looking for

  • Minimum 8+ years of professional experience in electrical engineering.
  • Design digital and analog electronics from concept to production-ready product.
  • Troubleshoot hardware issues, identify root causes, and implement improvements.
  • Develop comprehensive documentation for design requirements and test coverage.
  • Complete full cycle PCB design including layout, testing, validation, and integration.
  • Work closely with cross-functional teams (mechanical, software) to deliver products.
