Digital Hardware Design Engineer ; Onsite

Entry Level Electrical Engineer

We are seeking a highly motivated entry level Electrical Engineer to join the Computing Products Department within the Displays, Controls, Computing & Networking Engineering (DCCN) directorate. This department is responsible for the development and sustainment of state-of-the-art avionics hardware products including ruggedized mission computers, video processing modules, and network products used in commercial and military aircraft platforms. This role is onsite, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

This role supports all phases of the hardware development lifecycle—program pursuit, design, integration, verification, and factory transition and will play a key part in development of the computing modules product line and our air vehicle computers.

The selected candidate will collaborate closely with cross-functional partners, including Systems, Software, Mechanical, Environmental Effects, Manufacturing/Operations, and Design-to-Cost teams, to ensure all product requirements are successfully achieved. Competence in high-speed digital circuit board design, testability, and thermal management is essential.

What You Will Do:

• Collaborate with senior engineers to design, analyze, simulate and test Circuit Card Assemblies for Avionics Computers (Processors, FPGAs, Memory, high-speed interfaces).
• Operate lab equipment to perform integration testing on hardware designs.
• Work on schematic capture of digital/analog mixed signal electrical circuit designs.

Qualifications You Must Have:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or related Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) major obtained by start date.
• Understanding of engineering digital circuit design concepts
• Familiarity with the development and design of electronic circuit, and/or multi-assembly system/unit design
• Desire to perform hands-on troubleshooting skills.
• Good communication and presentation skills.

Qualifications We Prefer:

• Capable of effectively collaborating with team members and independently managing assigned tasks.
• Familiarity with taking design concepts from block diagrams or requirements to developing complete hardware designs, including verification through testing and integration.
• Experience with design tools (schematic capture) and PCB design process to analyze and simulate designs prior to hardware implementation.
• Experience using PCB electronic circuit design software: signal integrity, power integrity and analog simulation.

What We Offer:

• Our values drive our actions, behaviors, and performance with a vision for a safer, more connected world. At RTX we value:
  Trust, Respect, Accountability, Collaboration, and Innovation.
• Relocation Eligibility
