Job Posting
We are seeking an Electrical Engineer to support the development of high-performance RF systems used in radar and Flight Termination Systems (FTS) programs. This role is hands-on and collaborative, working closely with RF, mechanical, and software engineers to design, test, and troubleshoot advanced embedded hardware systems. This is an excellent opportunity for engineers who enjoy working across the full lifecycle—from concept and design through integration and testing—within a mission-critical defense environment.
Key Responsibilities:
- Translate system requirements into detailed electrical designs at the component, board, and system levels
- Design, develop, and test mixed-signal electronic systems and assemblies
- Perform schematic capture and support PCB layout for multi-layer boards
- Develop and execute Acceptance Test Procedures (ATPs) and automated test scripts
- Conduct system integration, bring-up, and troubleshooting of RF and embedded systems
- Support design reviews, including SRR, PDR, CDR, and TRR
- Integrate COTS and custom hardware into complex RF systems
- Create and maintain technical documentation (design docs, test reports, user guides)
- Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to solve complex technical challenges
- Travel up to 15% to support testing, integration, and deployment activities
Required Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field (3–5+ years), or Master's with 1–3+ years
- Experience with schematic capture and PCB design for multi-layer boards
- Experience in digital design, including FPGAs, microcontrollers, or embedded processors
- Experience with circuit design, testing, and troubleshooting (analog and digital)
- Hands-on experience using lab/test equipment (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, signal generators, VNAs, etc.)
- Experience developing technical documentation (test procedures, reports, design documents)
- Ability to work both independently and as part of a cross-functional team
- Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a DoD Security Clearance
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with FPGA development (VHDL and/or Verilog)
- Familiarity with high-speed digital interfaces (PCIe, DDR, Ethernet)
- Experience with RF systems, radar, or signal processing applications
- Experience with tools such as Altium, PADS, MATLAB, SPICE, HFSS, ADS, or Vivado/Quartus
- Knowledge of RF fundamentals, including transmission lines, filtering, and EMI/EMC considerations
- Familiarity with DFM/DFT principles
- Exposure to radar systems or RF signal processing
- Active DoD Secret clearance (or higher)
