The Resilient Connectivity Products (RCP) Hardware Technologies organization is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to help shape the next generation of secure, high speed communication systems for ground, airborne, and space platforms. You’ll join a team building cutting‑edge, high speed digital electronics that power mission critical systems—advanced software defined radios, high bandwidth data links, and secure communication platforms spanning ground, airborne, and space environments.

This is a Hardware Electrical Engineer role where you’ll design and develop high-speed digital circuit card assemblies (CCAs), applying knowledge of FPGAs, processors, and memory to deliver next-generation products. Expertise in digital PCB design, signal integrity, EMI control, manufacturability, and testability is essential. The selected candidate will collaborate closely with cross-functional partners and will support all phases of the hardware development lifecycle—program pursuit, design, integration, verification, and factory transition.

Potential Locations: (Placement for this Onsite role is based on business need and departmental requirements; therefore, any resulting offer may be designated for any of the listed facility locations)

• Cedar Rapids, IA
• Fort Wayne, IN

Sign-on Bonus Eligible

What You Will Do:

• Electronic Circuit Design:
  Design high-speed digital Circuit Card Assemblies (CCAs) from requirements and schematic capture through PCB layout, integration, and production.
• SI/PI Optimization:
  Ensure robust signal and power integrity (SI/PI) via advanced modeling, simulation, and hardware validation.
• Design Optimization:
  Implement Design to Cost (DTC), Design for Manufacturing (DFM), Design for Test (DFT) principles to ensure producible, cost-effective, and testable designs.
• Hardware Verification & Test Support:
  Perform hardware integration and Design Verification Testing (DVT), while providing technical support for Product Qualification Testing, factory production, and formal Root Cause Analysis (RCA).
• Cross-Functional & Stakeholder
  
  Collaboration:
  
  Collaborate across Systems, Software, and Mechanical Engineering teams while serving as the primary technical interface to align internal stakeholders, leadership and customers on program objectives.

Qualifications You Must Have:

• Expertise in digital design for medium to high complexity multilayer PCBs (12+ layers) with understanding of DFM/DFT, PCB fabrication, controlled impedance design, board assembly, and design verification testing.
• Demonstrated end to end circuit card development experience — from concept through verification — requirements, schematic capture, layout, bring up, and card level verification testing.
• Proficiency with PCB design tools like Xpedition, Cadence Allegro, or Altium Designer.
• SI/PI analysis experience with tools such as Hyper Lynx, ADS, or SPICE.
• A degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and minimum 5 years prior relevant experience, or an Advanced Degree in a related field and minimum 3 years of experience.
• The ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued security clearance is required. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance

Qualifications We Prefer:

• Active SECRET Security Clearance or HIGHER
• Effective communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to articulate complex technical info to non-technical stakeholders, leadership, and customers.
• Advanced knowledge of high-speed protocols, such as PCIe, Ethernet, and high-speed memory interfaces
• Control Account Manager (CAM) experience with knowledge of the Earned Value…
