TL;DR · Senior Specialist, Electrical Engineer

Senior Specialist, Electrical Engineer will join a dynamic team to support the Precision Electronic Warfare business. This role involves leading electronics design efforts including schematic capture, functional and block diagram generation, and electrical wiring diagrams for digital, power, analog, and mixed-signal designs. The engineer will collaborate with an Integrated Product Team to manage project costs, schedules, and customer reviews while translating system requirements into detailed implementation blocks. Key responsibilities include creating test plans, performing bench-level system integration with hardware, microcontrollers, and FPGAs, and transitioning products to production. Required skills include proficiency in Xpedition, Altium, OrCAD, Spice, or Mentor Graphics; experience with embedded C, Python scripting, and Linux; and familiarity with Ethernet, RS-485, and I2C protocols. The role requires expertise in product lifecycle management systems and the ability to design, build, and test complex circuit boards.

What you'll do

  • Lead electronics design efforts including schematic capture, block diagrams, and wiring diagrams for digital, power, and analog systems.
  • Create test plans and procedures to validate that circuit implementations meet functional requirements.
  • Translate system-level requirements into detailed implementation-level block diagrams and design concepts.
  • Lead bench-level system integration involving hardware, microcontrollers, FPGAs, and software designs.
  • Manage project costs and schedules while participating in customer reviews and proposal efforts.
  • Develop and test digital and mixed-signal circuit boards using industry-standard tools like Altium or OrCAD.
  • Perform microcontroller programming and debugging in embedded C and use Python for hardware I/O verification.
  • Transition new electronic hardware from the design and integration phase to production with the operations team.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree and 6 years of experience, a graduate degree and 4 years of experience, or 10 years of experience without a degree.
  • Ability to obtain a DOD Secret Security Clearance.
  • Proficiency in electronic design tools such as Xpedition, Altium, OrCAD, Spice, and Mentor Graphics.
  • Experience with microcontroller programming/debugging in embedded C and Python scripting for hardware verification.
  • Knowledge of Linux operating systems and command line execution.
  • Familiarity with Ethernet, RS-485, I2C, and other electronic communication protocols.
  • Active DOD Secret, TS, or TS/SCI clearance (preferred).
  • U.S. citizens.
