You will manage the full hardware development lifecycle, from initial concept and requirements definition through architecture, design, and testing of high-performance PCBs for vehicle management, DSP, and networking applications. The role requires expertise in HDL languages like VHDL or Verilog, along with familiarity with MCU, CPU, and FPGA devices. You will work with standard interfaces such as Ethernet, CAN, I2C, SPI, PCIe, and USB while ensuring signal and power integrity. Key technical requirements include proficiency in Altium Designer, experience with test equipment like oscilloscopes and logic analyzers, and knowledge of aerospace-grade high reliability designs for aircraft systems. This role addresses complex embedded compute solutions within a defense technology context.

What you'll do

  • Define and execute the product portfolio and roadmap for core hardware technologies.
  • Lead cross-functional engineering teams to deliver embedded compute solutions for vehicle management and networking.
  • Oversee the full hardware development lifecycle from initial concept through testing and sustainment.
  • Design and develop high-performance PCBs, including host boards for FPGAs, SoCs, and SoMs.
  • Establish and optimize product development workflows across hardware and firmware lifecycles.
  • Define product requirements and strategic roadmaps in collaboration with internal stakeholders and customers.
  • Manage project schedules, milestones, and deliverables to ensure timely execution by the team.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent.
  • 7+ years of experience designing, testing, and troubleshooting complex board designs in military, automotive, or similar hardware.
  • Demonstrated experience leading cross-functional hardware and embedded systems product development teams from concept to deployment.
  • Proficiency in an HDL language such as VHDL or Verilog.
  • Familiarity with MCU, CPU, FPGA devices, and standard interfaces like Ethernet, CAN, I2C, SPI, PCIe, and USB.
  • Experience in design for signal integrity and power integrity.
  • Competence with test equipment including oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, thermal chambers, and automated testing.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance.
