• Develop electrical architectures and interface designs for complex systems.
• Create schematics, PCB layouts, wiring diagrams, and engineering documentation.
• Perform component selection, circuit simulation, and design trade studies.
• Support embedded systems integration, including microcontrollers, sensors, communications modules, and power systems.
• Develop and execute electrical test plans, validation procedures, and troubleshooting activities.
• Conduct root cause analysis and implement corrective actions for system deficiencies.
• Support prototype fabrication, assembly, integration, and field testing activities.
• Collaborate with software, mechanical, manufacturing, and systems engineering teams throughout product development.
• Participate in technical reviews, design reviews, and customer demonstrations.
• Support production readiness, manufacturing transition, and sustainment efforts.
• Ensure compliance with applicable industry, military, and regulatory standards.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or closely related discipline.
• Minimum of five (5) years of professional electrical engineering experience.

• Experience using electrical simulation and analysis tools.
• Knowledge of embedded systems, microcontrollers, and sensor integration.
• Experience developing engineering drawings, schematics, and technical documentation.
• Familiarity with laboratory test equipment including oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers, power supplies, and multimeters.
• Strong troubleshooting and root‑cause analysis skills.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a multidisciplinary environment.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• U.S. Citizenship required.

• Professional Engineer (PE) license.
• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• Experience with defense, aerospace, national security, or public safety systems.
• Experience developing ruggedized electronics for harsh environments.
• Knowledge of EMI/EMC design and testing principles.
• Experience with RF communications systems, wireless technologies, or GPS integration.
• Experience with battery‑powered and low‑power electronic systems.
• Familiarity with MIL‑STD‑810, MIL‑STD‑461, IPC standards, and related engineering standards.
• Experience supporting product development from prototype through production.
• Active U.S. security clearance or ability to obtain one.
