Senior Electrical Engineer

Overview

Senior Electrical Engineer:
Hardware for National Security. Impact Statement:
Build the integrated hardware that powers autonomy and command-and-control for critical national security and defense missions. Youll design rugged, high-reliability systems deployed in active field operations globally, directly impacting mission success.

Immediate Impact & Ownership:
We develop essential infrastructure connecting sensors, autonomous systems, and AI models into a unified platform. Commercial hardware fails in the austere conditions our operators faceso we build our own, designing for extreme environmental robustness from the start.

• Advanced PCBA Design:
  Lead the design and delivery of custom high-density, multi-layer PCBAs (schematics, layout, manufacturing files) for embedded control, power distribution, and advanced sensor integration. Focus on signal integrity analysis and power plane optimization for reliable operation in noisy environments.
• Rugged Reliability:
  Select and validate components built to survive extreme temperatures, vibration, and ingress protection (IP) requirements. Conduct rigorous Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Test (DFT) reviews.
• System Integration:
  Collaborate closely with mechanical and software teams early in the design phase to ensure robust end-to-end performance and seamless embedded systems integration, particularly regarding thermal mitigation and enclosure grounding.
• Test & Deploy:
  Conduct rigorous hardware bring-up, debugging, functional testing, and execute detailed environmental qualification test plans. Travel for on-site system deployment is required.

• 5+ years of industry experience taking complex, high-reliability PCBAs into volume production.
• Deep expertise in high-speed digital design, signal integrity analysis, and power electronics/custom magnetics.
• Proven proficiency in schematic capture and layout using modern PCB design software (e.g., Altium, KiCAD) and circuit simulation (e.g., LTSpice).
• Experience with advanced testing tools: oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and spectrum analyzers.
• A growth mindset and familiarity leveraging modern software tools (Git, OnShape) to maximize productivity and streamline iteration.

• Active U.S. Security Clearance or the ability to obtain one.
• Expertise in RF front-end design, matching networks, filtering, and antenna integration for communications payloads operating in challenging spectrum environments.
• Experience in Aerospace or Defense hardware design, focused on MIL-STD compliance.
• Proven ability to design for extreme environmental robustness (thermal management, shock/vibe mitigation).
• If you thrive on speed, ownership, and building systems that matter in the real world, this is your team.
