Kearfott is seeking an experienced Senior Electrical Engineer to lead the electronics design and development of complex electromechanical products and systems used in demanding aerospace, defense, and unmanned applications.

This is a hands-on product development role for an engineer who can take ownership of the electronics portion of a project from initial requirements and concept development through detailed design, prototype build, verification, qualification, and transition to production.

The ideal candidate has a strong foundation in analog and digital circuit design, schematic development, circuit simulation, PCB development, and hands-on hardware troubleshooting
. Experience developing electronics for power, actuation, motion, sensing, instrumentation, or other complex electromechanical products is highly desirable; however, direct aerospace or motion-control experience is not required. The successful candidate will work as part of a multidisciplinary product team alongside mechanical, systems, software, manufacturing, quality, and program personnel.

• Own and execute electrical/electronic design activities throughout the product development lifecycle, from requirements and concept development through production release and ongoing product support.
• Develop electronic architectures and detailed hardware designs for complex electromechanical products and systems.
• Design and analyze analog, digital, mixed-signal, power, interface, and control circuitry
  .
• Develop and review electrical schematics, component selections, circuit card assemblies, and PCB designs.
• Perform circuit analysis and simulation using tools such as PSpice, LTspice, MATLAB, Mathcad, or equivalent engineering tools
  .
• Develop prototypes and perform board bring-up, bench testing, troubleshooting, and design verification.
• Apply practical design-for-manufacturing considerations to ensure designs are reliable, producible, testable, and cost effective.
• Develop and execute engineering test plans and support product verification and qualification activities.
• Lead technical problem solving, root-cause analysis, and corrective actions during development and production.
• Support engineering changes, component obsolescence, product improvements, and cost-reduction initiatives.
• Support the transition of new designs into manufacturing and provide technical support to production as required.

• Serve as the electrical engineering owner for assigned development projects.
• Translate product and system requirements into practical electronics designs and technical solutions.
• Coordinate electrical development activities with mechanical, software, systems, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and program teams.
• Participate in and/or lead technical and design reviews.
• Establish and maintain electrical engineering schedules, priorities, deliverables, and technical documentation for…
