Senior Electrical Architect, Connected Warfare

We are seeking highly experienced Senior Electrical Architects to play a pivotal role in defining and shaping the electrical architecture for our product lines. These roles will bridge the critical gap between high-level systems concepts and detailed electrical design, ensuring robust, scalable, and manufacturable solutions for our advanced defense systems.

You will be instrumental in translating strategic Concepts of Operations (CONOPS) into actionable electrical requirements and architecture that will guide the entire product development lifecycle.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading the definition and development of robust, scalable, and maintainable electrical architectures for complex product lines.
• Conducting architectural trades, balancing performance, manufacturing feasibility, and future scalability.
• Bridging the gap between traditional Systems Engineering and Electrical Engineering by translating high-level CONOPS into detailed electrical requirements and functional modules.
• Allocating functions to specific electrical modules and subsystems, defining constraints, interfaces, and communications protocols.
• Flowing module and subsystem information to PCB design and harnessing teams to guide designs in line with the overarching electrical architecture.

Required qualifications include:

• Proven ability to think strategically and define the long-term architectural vision for a product line.
• Deep understanding of various communication protocols (e.g., Ethernet, CAN, RS-485, SDI, GMSL, SPI, I2C, PCIe) and their application in complex embedded systems.
• Familiarity with embedded systems hardware, including MCUs, CPUs, and FPGAs, and their architectural implications.
• Experience with full-cycle PCB design.
• Experience with harnessing design and connector selection.
• Successful track record of releasing products to production and delivering to end-users at scale.
• Excellent communication, collaboration, and influencing skills to work across diverse engineering disciplines.
• Ability to obtain or have active DoD Top Secret Clearance with the ability to obtain SCI access.

Desired qualifications include:

• Experience with MIL-STD compliance.
• Utilize and bridge requirements management tools (e.g., DOORS) and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tools (e.g., Cameo Systems Modeler) to ensure traceability and coherence from system-level to electrical requirements.
