CCA Board Design Engineer (Engineer Electrical 3) Jobs

CCA Board Design Engineer 3

Warfare Systems (WS), a business group within HII's Mission Technologies division, is seeking a highly skilled and motivated CCA Board Design Engineer 3 to join our growing engineering team. In this role, you will be responsible for the PCB design and layout of complex, high-reliability Circuit Card Assemblies (CCAs) and Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) utilized in cutting-edge defense, national security, and electronic warfare systems.

As a Level 3 engineer, you will act as a technical lead on complex design tasks, collaborating closely with systems, mechanical, thermal, and software engineers to deliver robust hardware solutions from conceptual design through production.

Essential Job Responsibilities

• Full Lifecycle Design:
  Lead layout design of complex multi-layer, high-speed digital, analog, and mixed-signal CCAs, as well as assist in schematic capture and documentation.
• Technical Leadership:
  Guide junior engineers and design layout specialists through complex routing challenges, high-speed signaling constraints, and power distribution network (PDN) design.
• DFx Optimization:
  Apply Design for Manufacturing (DFM), Design for Testing (DFT), and Design for Assembly (DFA) principles to ensure seamless transition from design to full-scale production.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration:
  
  Partner with Mechanical and Thermal Engineers to ensure proper physical integration, structural integrity, and thermal dissipation of the CCAs within rugged environments.
• Documentation:
  Generate comprehensive engineering documentation packages, including schematics, bills of materials (BOMs), fabrication drawings, and assembly instructions.

Minimum Qualifications

• Education & Experience:
  
  Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related STEM field with a minimum of 5 years of relevant experience; OR a Master's degree with 3 years of relevant experience.
• EDA Tool Proficiency:
  Demonstrated expert-level experience with industry-standard PCB design suites (e.g., Altium Designer, Siemens EDA/Mentor Graphics Xpedition, or Cadence Allegro).
• Technical Expertise:
  Strong background in designing multi-layer boards utilizing high-density interconnect (HDI) microvias, controlled impedance, and fine-pitch BGA components.
• Component Knowledge:
  Proven experience selecting components and designing circuits featuring FPGAs, processors, high-speed memory interfaces, and power management units (PMUs).

Preferred Requirements

• Active Secret clearance.
• Familiarity with aerospace/defense standards such as MIL-STD-810, IPC-2221/2222, and IPC-A-610.
• Experience with RF/Microwave board layout and isolation techniques.
• Familiarity with Altium Designer and Altium component and project databases
• Experience utilizing simulation tools like Hyper Lynx, Ansys HFSS, or Keysight ADS for Signal Integrity and Power Integrity analysis.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present technical design reviews (PDR/CDR) to internal management and external clients.

All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, physical or mental disability, age, or veteran status or any other basis protected by federal, state, or local law.
