Key responsibilities include:

• Full cycle PCB design, including collecting requirements, schematic design, component selection, supervision or completion of layout, bring-up, test, debug, and system integration
• Conduct bring-up and design work on microcontrollers and microprocessors, ensuring seamless integration within the system
• Perform power design, including the development, simulation, and integration of discrete power supplies, DC-DC converters, and power management systems
• Troubleshoot issues that span electrical and software boundaries, utilizing lab equipment and basic software/firmware debugging tools
• Work in a fast-paced environment supporting new developments, deployments, and customer operated flight hardware
• Develop payloads and subsystems, including sensors, payload interfaces, power management, and networking
• Create system interconnect diagrams and define wire harnesses and pinouts that connect electronic equipment within a subsystem
• Support environmental qualification and flight-test operations
• Collaborate closely with other electrical, mechanical, software, firmware, and test engineers to deliver fully functional, mission-critical products

The ideal candidate will have:

• A Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent, with 5+ years of experience designing, testing, and troubleshooting complex system designs
• Active, hands-on PCB design experience within the last 5 years
• Experience with modern ECAD/EDA design tools, such as Altium Designer
• A solid foundation in power system design, power loading analysis, and power management systems
• High competence using lab test equipment and basic board-level rework/soldering tools
• Hands-on experience with microcontrollers and digital interfaces
• Knowledge of modern analog and digital electronics, mixed-signal board design, grounding topologies, and filtering/EMI mitigation
• Understanding of low-voltage and high-voltage power electronics and control systems
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. security clearance
• Exceptional organization and communication skills

Preferred qualifications include:

• Specialized background in discrete power supply design
• Background in defense, missile systems, hypersonics, or aerospace avionics
• Comprehensive understanding of the effects of temperature, shock, and vibration on electrical packaging and designs
• Ability to develop basic low-level firmware or test scripts

The salary range for this role is $161,000-$212,000 USD per year.
