Analog Engineer III

Crane Aerospace and Electronics has an exciting opportunity for an Analog Engineer III at our Lynnwood, WA location.

Crane Aerospace & Electronics supplies critical systems and components to the aerospace and defense markets.

The Analog Engineer III is an experienced contributor who works highly independently and uses established procedures to perform assigned tasks by working cross-functionally with Engineering, Operations, Suppliers and Customers. The role provides engineering design and analysis services for DC/DC power converters and filters for space and hi‑reliability applications, and is responsible for technical proposals, requirements management, detailed architecture of topology and control, detailed circuit design and analysis (including radiation‑hardened circuitry), product performance, customer presentations, schedule and cost requirements.

The engineer will have expert knowledge of the concepts, practices and procedures of the assigned product or program and may lead a team of engineers on assigned projects.

• Model and simulate circuit or system performance of DC/DC power converters and filters using analytical tools.
• Detailed design and analysis of discrete implementation of power converter control circuitry that is resistant to performance degradation due to radiation effects.
• Filter modeling, analysis and design.
• System integration, test and development of DC power conversion hardware for spaceflight and hi‑reliability applications.
• Investigate and evaluate new power topologies and control for spaceflight applications.
• Work with interdisciplinary teams to ensure that the designs meet the customers’ electrical, environmental and internal manufacturing requirements and standards.
• Support internal concurrent design criteria.
• Function as the technical interface for customers and attend technical meetings as required; support specification development with customers.
• Translate market specifications into design requirements; generate design documentation required for prototype and/or production releases.
• Document new designs per established guidelines including simulations, test circuit measurements and tolerance analyses.
• Provide appropriate input to the development of test procedures, fixtures and software.
• Respond to market trends and requirements for product development specifications.
• Any other task assigned by supervisor or management.

This position may require access to Controlled Data or Information. Where the position requires such access, only US Persons will be considered. As a US Department of Defense contractor, we are bound by International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).

• Experience:
  
  5+ years with microelectronic DC/DC power conversion and control system design, including knowledge of radiation effects on components and circuits, and high‑reliability hardware design from conceptual design through product delivery.
• Knowledge:
  Complex DC/DC power topologies and control circuits; discrete analog circuit design; power electronics technology including temperature‑compensating analog circuits, radiation‑tolerant components and circuitry, reference compensators, magnetic design, and planar magnetics.
• Skill:
  Excellent documentation, organization and time‑management skills; ability to write procedures, reports, and acceptance tests; demonstrated ability to lead complex projects through the complete development cycle; excellent interpersonal skills and ability to work in a team environment and mentor others.
• Education/Certification:
  
  BS degree in Electrical Engineering. Master’s or PhD preferred.

• Standard office environment.
• Requires substantial visual concentration on detail.
• Working conditions are normal for a manufacturing environment.
• Manufacturing operations may require safety equipment such as eye safety glasses, gowning, masks, hearing protectors, heel/wrist straps and other required PPE.
• May be exposed to unusual environmental conditions such as loud noises, cold temperatures, confined spaces, dust or fumes.
