This role focuses on developing communications systems through board-level integration of high-speed digital components, commercially available chipsets, and embedded processors. Key responsibilities include schematic capture, simulations, PCB analysis, layout, and creating custom circuit cards. The engineer will perform performance characterization, hardware-level debugging, and documentation of requirements and bills of materials. Required technical skills include experience with FPGAs, networking components, and industry-standard interfaces like PCIe, SPI, UART, and DDR4. Candidates should be proficient with digital scopes, logic analyzers, and BERTS, while utilizing tools like Mentor Graphics and Git. The work addresses national security problems in signal intelligence, cyber operations, and applied data analytics.

What you'll do

  • Design custom circuit cards using FPGAs, embedded processors, and networking components.
  • Perform schematic capture, simulations, PCB analysis, and layout for board-level integration.
  • Document designs including requirements, testing procedures, and bills of materials.
  • Perform detailed hardware-level functional measurements and debugging.
  • Characterize hardware performance across a wide variety of environmental conditions.
  • Implement industry-standard interfaces such as PCIe, DDR4, and 100GE.
  • Support test engineering during the transition of hardware to manufacturing testing.
  • Contribute to design reviews and system integration processes.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s Degree and minimum 6 years of prior relevant experience.
  • Graduate Degree and a minimum of 4 years of prior related experience.
  • Minimum of 10 years of prior related experience in lieu of a degree.
  • Master’s Degree in computer science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering or Electrical Engineering (preferred).
  • Minimum of 3 years of experience with CCA and Hardware Design experience (preferred).
  • Minimum of 4 years’ experience with hardware verification, schematic capture, and PCB Layout (preferred).
  • Experience in laboratory debug techniques using digital scopes, logic analyzers, BERTS, and other complex measurement devices (preferred).
  • Security clearance.
