• Hardware development and test
• Site integration
• Post‑delivery support

• Basic understanding of circuit and electronics design
• ESD‑compliance
• BOM generation
• Basic knowledge and experience in RF engineering
• Lab bench equipment (e.g., power supplies, signal generators, spectrum/microwave analyzers)
• PCB/PWB/CCA design

Candidate must be professional, have the ability to work independently and in a multi‑disciplinary group in a fast‑paced environment, take initiative and own tasks, be detail oriented and work hands‑on in a lab environment.

• Work and academic experience in Mechanical and/or Electrical engineering design and a strong academic understanding of the fundamentals
• Proficient in CAD (Solidworks preferred)
• Knowledge of RF systems, cable and hardness designs, electrical diagrams, schematics, PCB/PWB/CCA parts and layouts, and basic soldering skills
• Work within a small cross‑functional team to ensure creative solutions to novel problems
• Identify components and work directly with specialty suppliers and sub‑contractors
• Develop TDP (Tech Data) and performance data packages
• Military and/or Aircraft related to Mechanical or Electrical System Design, or Data Links

• Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering or related STEM degree from an accredited institution
• 0-3 years of experience in a related Engineering Environment
• U.S. Citizenship required
• Familiarity with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Visio, etc.)
• Ability to obtain and maintain a Department of Defense (DoD) personnel security clearance required
