MINIMUM TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

• Expert-level experience designing, implementing, and validating analog, digital, and mixed-signal embedded systems, including requirements definition, analog and digital design, schematic capture, PCB layout, fabrication and assembly vendor coordination, bring-up, debugging, rework, testing, and transition to production.
• Strong experience leading FPGA-based product development, including hands-on implementation of FPGA-based control and data-processing systems and integration into larger systems.
• Fluency in Verilog, with the ability to develop, debug, and maintain production-quality FPGA RTL designs.
• Strong experience designing analog front ends, multi-channel digitizers, digital interconnects, and FPGA- or SoC-based control and data-processing systems.
• Experience evaluating, characterizing, and selecting analog sensors for precision measurement applications.
• Experience with designing for EMI mitigation, noise immunity, shielding, and galvanic isolation of analog and digital components.
• Familiarity with voltage and current sensing technologies for both AC and DC systems in precision measurement applications.
• Proficiency with industry-standard electronics design and collaboration tools, including schematic capture and PCB layout (Altium strongly preferred), and disciplined application of design-for-fabrication, design-for-test, and design-for-reliability best practices.
• High competency with standard laboratory test equipment, including oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and digital multimeters.
• Outstanding troubleshooting and debugging skills, with the ability to approach complex problems creatively and work effectively with incomplete or evolving specifications.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly document designs and communicate technical concepts to diverse audiences.

OTHER DESIRABLE EXPERIENCE

• Embedded software development experience in C/C++, including designing and implementing low-level drivers and hardware abstraction layers to enable software access to sensors, actuators, and communication interfaces
• Embedded software development on Zynq SoC or Xilinx soft cores in Xilinx Vivado/Vitus toolchain (bare-metal and/or Linux, as appropriate).
• Familiarity with power systems for medium-voltage DC switching, instrumentation, and control applications.

• Experience developing manufacturing test strategies, including first-hand experience implementing JTAG-based test procedures.
• Exposure to network cybersecurity products or other high-security or mission-critical hardware systems.
• Proven experience transitioning products from functional prototypes through qualification and into low-rate initial production (LRIP).
• First-hand experience guiding products through certification and homologation testing, including FCC emissions compliance and UL or equivalent safety requirements.

WORK EXPERIENCE, EDUCATION & TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

Minimum Years of Work Experience:

• 10+ years of professional experience in the design and implementation of mixed-signal electronics, or a balanced combination of analog and digital system design.
• 5+ years of FPGA development and implementation experience, which may be concurrent with mixed-signal electronics experience.
• Experience serving as lead designer or architect for at least two distinct products, subsystems, or major functional modules.
• A PhD in a relevant scientific or technical discipline may substitute for up to three (3) years of professional experience, provided the research is directly applicable to this role.

Minimum Education:

• A bachelor's degree (Master's strongly preferred) or higher in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or a closely related technical discipline is required; master's degrees in other technical fields may be considered with sufficient relevant experience.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

• Due to Department of Defense contract requirements, candidates must be U.S. Citizens to be considered for this position.

BENEFITS:

• Fortune 500-level Health Care Coverage
• Unlimited Leave Program after 60 days
