The Electrical Engineering Department is seeking experienced Analog Electrical Design Engineers at the Principal and Staff level to provide analog electrical design solutions and technical support to novel and challenging projects of varying size throughout their life cycle stages. You will be joining an organization with a distinguished space-based EO/IR heritage of scientific and national security. You will contribute to the development of complex high reliability electrical designs in support of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions on a variety of platforms.

These platforms present unique design challenges operating over the harsh environments of space including extreme EMI environments, total dose induced radiation parametric degradation effects, single event effects associated with high energy space born particles, space charging of surfaces and electro-static discharge events.

You will provide high-reliability designs and lead electrical engineering support for critical flight mission applications as well as ground validation and test activity. It is expected that you are a self-directed individual who requires minimal oversight. You will be accountable for high-reliability designs to be used in critical space and military applications where failure is not an option. You will be called upon to communicate with external parties such as customers and vendors as well as participate in non-advocate reviews.

It is expected that you will fully engage and immerse yourself with our products. Strategic vision is key to this position and the selected candidate should have the requisite background and expertise to quickly absorb information and make significant contributions to our products as well as provide ideas and concepts to advance our business and capabilities. Advanced experience with electro-optical products is highly desirable as well as an ability to quickly engage and develop an advanced technical understanding of unique electro-optical instruments.

Qualified candidates should demonstrate strong analog design skills as related to both the support of legacy products and the development of new designs. The successful candidate should have a proven track record of advanced troubleshooting ability at the system level as well as lower levels of integration.

• Review and evaluation of customer requirement documents
• Demonstrated ability to follow a methodical and structured approach to design and validation
• Original electrical design, electro-optical instrument design
• Complex analog design including simulation, system/component modeling, signal integrity analysis, component & system-level power/stress analysis, servo performance and stability analysis
• Worst-case circuit performance/functional analysis over mission life & environment extremes
• Analog design of deliverable ship set hardware and internal Special Test Equipment
• Validation testing support
• Work with program teams to develop design concepts, define and perform trades
• Prepare and present material for formal design reviews and customer meetings
• Provide technical support to proposal activities

• 8-10+ years of experience as an analog electrical engineer on space programs
• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or related field, MS preferred
• Demonstrated lead electrical design capability & experience
• Conceptual original design experience
• Experience writing/deriving requirements and generating verification plans
• Experience writing technical reports and generating technical presentations
• Experience in high-reliability space, DoD airborne & ground systems, mission analysis, and government military program contracts preferred
• Focal plane experience and familiarity with quad cells, CCDs, photodiodes, lasers, etc. desired
• Power electronics and motor drive design/analysis experience is a plus
• Familiarity using DOORS requirements management tool and following a rigorous requirements documentation and validation process desired
• Applied use of standard electrical engineering analysis and documentation software (i.e. PSPICE, Hyperlynx, Matlab, Mathcad, Orcad, Allegro, and Visio) preferred
• Ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance

The position is located onsite at the company facility in Danbury, CT.
