  • Generate requirements and design computing processors, FPGAs, and their supporting interface circuits.
  • Develop hardware/software requirement documents and test plans for high-speed interfacing, video, and target detection.
  • Execute full product lifecycles including schematic capture, PWB layout, prototype builds, testing, and production release.
  • Perform power, thermal, and signal integrity analyses to meet EMI/EMC standards.
  • Conduct Six Sigma design tools such as DFMEA and reliability analysis for military hardware.
  • Lead projects by managing budgets, manpower, and interactions with customers and outside groups.
  • Maintain detailed records of design changes, debug status, and hardware/software revisions.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering.
  • 12+ years of applicable experience required.
  • Eligibility to obtain a US security clearance.
  • Proficiency in digital and analog circuit design, schematic capture, PWB layout, and prototype development.
  • Experience with high-speed signal integrity, power/thermal analysis, and EMI/EMC standards (MIL-1275, MIL-461, MIL-464, MIL-810).
  • Knowledge of computing processors, FPGAs, and industry standard interfaces like PCIe, DDRxx, USB, and Ethernet.
  • Ability to use engineering development and test tools while working with interdisciplinary teams.
  • US Citizens may not be eligible to obtain a security clearance.
