What does an Analog Design Engineer do?

An Analog Design Engineer designs, develops, and tests analog circuits used in electronic devices, such as amplifiers, power management systems, and communication systems. They work with components like transistors, resistors, and capacitors to ensure circuit performance, efficiency, and reliability. Their responsibilities include schematic design, simulation, layout coordination, and validation of designs in lab testing. They often collaborate with layout engineers, system engineers, and manufacturing teams to bring designs from concept to production.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Analog Design Engineer position, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Analog Design Engineer, you need strong expertise in circuit theory, semiconductor physics, and experience with analog IC design, typically supported by an electrical engineering degree. Familiarity with industry-standard EDA tools like Cadence, SPICE simulation software, and relevant certifications such as IEEE membership are often advantageous. Attention to detail, creative problem-solving, and effective communication are crucial soft skills in this field. These attributes are important because they ensure high-quality, innovative designs that meet complex performance requirements and facilitate smooth collaboration with cross-functional teams.

What does a typical workday look like for an Analog Design Engineer?

Analog Design Engineers typically split their time between hands-on circuit design, simulation and verification, and collaborating with layout engineers and other team members. Daily tasks often include schematic capture, running simulations to validate circuit performance, evaluating test results, and resolving design issues. Team meetings to discuss project timelines, technical challenges, and design reviews are also common. This dynamic mix ensures that each day brings new technical challenges while maintaining strong teamwork and communication across disciplines.

Job description

Your Impact: 

Dedrone stands out as the global leader in airspace defense technology and counter UAS solutions. Engineering at Dedrone is tasked with delivering innovative solutions and products to maintain our position on the cutting-edge of innovation.
Sr. Electrical Engineers at Dedrone have full design ownership over nextgeneration cUAS technology from conceptualization through production, and their work is highly visible to senior executives. Our passionate leadership and crossfunctional collaboration with product managers, mechanical engineers, industrial designers, and manufacturing teams is vital to the success of the team and ensuring the safety of the general public for generations to come.
This role emphasizes electrical system architecture, schematic/circuit design, PCB design, RF and power systems design, and systemlevel test and verification. The ideal candidate will have strong handson experience with schematic capture, PCB layout, mixedsignal design, embedded firmware, and designing for rugged/regulated environments.

Location: Onsite at our offices in Sterling, VA

What You'll Do

  • Architect and design complex mixed signal electrical systems with a focus on modularity, performance, and ruggedized operation, supporting development of cUAS systems.
  • Lead end-to-end development of scalable hardware platforms integrating high-speed digital designs (including FPGA-based architectures), analog sensor interfaces, and high-integrity power delivery systems.
  • Lead schematic design, owning detailed component selection and schematic development from concept through implementation.
  • Oversee PCB layout to ensure proper implementation of design intent, with focus on signal integrity, power integrity, and EMI/EMC performance, for high-speed and power dense systems.
  • Own electrical analysis in an R&D-focused role, using simulation as needed to validate signal integrity, power integrity, EMI/EMC performance, and thermal behavior to ensure robust first-pass hardware performance.
  • Collaborate regularly with domestic and international stakeholders across engineering, product, and program teams.

What You Bring

  • Bachelor's, Master's, pr PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field.
  • Proven experience in electrical design and system integration for complex hardware products-ideally in cUAS, Satcom, defense, robotics, or wireless systems.
  • Proficiency with schematic capture and PCB layout tools (e.g., Altium)
  • Expertise in digital, power, and RF Engineering, including software defined radios and mixed signal hardware development.
  • Solid understanding of signal integrity, power integrity, EMI/EMC mitigation techniques, and relevant test/qualification methods.
  • Strong analytical and troubleshooting abilities.
  • Excellent communication skills to collaborate with crossfunctional teams and present technical tradeoffs to stakeholders.
  • Ability to work effectively in a fastpaced, dynamic environment with high levels of ambiguity.

Work Location

This role is based out of our Sterling Office and follows a hybrid schedule. We rely on in-person collaboration and ask that team members work onsite Tuesdays through Fridays, with the flexibility to work remotely on Mondays, unless there is an approved workplace accommodation. We believe that connection fuels innovation, and our in-office culture is designed to foster meaningful teamwork, mentorship, and shared success.
