At Iris Technology Corporation, you’ll contribute to advanced electronic systems supporting demanding space and tactical applications. From precision electronics for space-based infrared sensing to cryocooler control systems and power electronics for tactical platforms, your designs will help enable technologies where performance, reliability, and precision matter most.

As a key member of our engineering team, you’ll have the opportunity to take hardware from concept and circuit design through prototype development, hands‑on testing, integration, and verification. Whether your expertise is in analog and mixed‑signal design, digital hardware, or power electronics, you’ll work on challenging engineering problems and develop hardware designed to perform in demanding environments.

Design electronics for demanding space and tactical applications. As an Electrical Engineer III, you will take ownership of hardware development from requirements and circuit design through board bring‑up, integration, and verification.

Depending on your strengths and project needs, you will develop cryocooler control electronics, FPIE electronics for space applications, or power management electronics for tactical systems. We are seeking an engineer with strong analog and/or digital design skills who enjoys solving challenging technical problems and turning designs into reliable, tested hardware.

• Own circuit and board‑level designs, including requirements definition, architecture, schematic development, component selection, and PCB layout guidance.
• Design analog, digital, mixed‑signal, and/or power circuitry aligned with your expertise and assigned products.
• Perform circuit simulations and design analyses to verify performance, margins, and reliability.
• Lead hands‑on board bring‑up, troubleshooting, integration, and design verification.
• Develop test procedures and document results demonstrating compliance with product requirements.
• Prepare and present technical analyses, design review packages, and engineering recommendations.
• Collaborate with mechanical, firmware/software, systems, manufacturing, and quality teams to deliver producible, reliable hardware.
• Support qualification, production transition, and resolution of hardware issues.

• 10+ years of relevant electronic hardware design experience.
• Demonstrated strength in at least one area: analog/mixed‑signal design, digital hardware design, or power electronics.
• Experience taking circuit or PCB designs from concept through prototype bring‑up and verification.
• Proficiency with schematic capture, circuit analysis or simulation, and laboratory test equipment.
• Strong hands‑on troubleshooting skills and the ability to identify and resolve hardware design issues.
• Ability to work independently on assigned designs and communicate technical decisions clearly across engineering disciplines.

• Strong understanding of electrical and electronic engineering principles.
• Ability to evaluate electrical systems, components, materials, and applications.
• Ability to develop practical, efficient, and cost‑effective engineering solutions.
• Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and troubleshooting skills.
• Ability to manage multiple projects and meet established deadlines.
• Ability to communicate technical information effectively to internal teams and customers.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with engineers and other cross‑functional team members.
