TL;DR · Senior Specialist Electrical Engineer

The Senior Specialist, Electrical Engineer joins the precision electro-optics business to support complex electronics design and analysis. Working within an integrated product team, the engineer performs schematic capture, generates functional and block diagrams, and develops electrical wiring diagrams for digital, power, analog, and mixed signal designs. Key responsibilities include creating design review packages, establishing test plans, and leading bench-level system integration with hardware, software, and FPGA designs. The role requires proficiency with tools such as Altium, Xpedition, Cadence ConceptHDL, OrCAD, PADS Layout, Spice, and Mentor Graphics. Candidates must demonstrate expertise in microcontroller programming using embedded C, stepper motor control circuit design, and version control via subversion. This position involves translating system-level requirements into detailed implementation-level designs to meet specific project milestones.

What you'll do

  • Perform electronics design using tools like Altium or Cadence for digital, power, analog, and mixed-signal circuits.
  • Create schematic captures, functional block diagrams, and electrical wiring diagrams for complex systems.
  • Develop test plans and procedures to validate that circuit implementations meet functional requirements.
  • Lead bench-level system integration involving hardware, software, and FPGA designs.
  • Translate system-level requirements into detailed implementation-level block diagrams and design concepts.
  • Design, build, and test mixed-signal low-voltage current driver boards and stepper motor control circuits.
  • Program and debug microcontrollers using embedded C.
  • Generate trade studies and design review packages to analyze cost, schedule, and performance impacts.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s Degree and minimum 6 years of relevant experience.
  • Graduate Degree and a minimum of 4 years of related experience.
  • Minimum of 10 years of related experience in lieu of a degree.
  • Ability to obtain a US Security Clearance.
  • Knowledge of electronic design and simulation tools such as Altium, Xpedition, Cadence ConceptHDL, OrCAD, PADS Layout, Spice, and Mentor Graphics.
  • Experience with board design using microcontrollers, microcontroller programming, and debugging in embedded C.
  • Active TS/SCI clearance with Poly (preferred).
  • U.S. citizens.
