Electronics Design Engineer

We are seeking an Electronics Design Engineer with at least 2 years of hands-on PCB and circuit card assembly (CCA) design experience to support the development of electronics for spacecraft and other mission-critical aerospace and defense systems. In this role, you participate in the full PCB design lifecycle, including schematic capture, PCB layout, component selection, board bring-up, troubleshooting, integration, and test.

You work closely with cross-functional engineering teams to deliver reliable, high-performance electronic hardware for demanding environments. Experience with Altium Designer and a strong foundation in electrical hardware design are essential, while prior aerospace, defense, satellite, or other high-reliability electronics experience is highly beneficial.

• Design and develop printed circuit boards (PCBs) and circuit card assemblies (CCAs) for mission-critical electronic systems.
• Perform schematic capture and PCB layout using Altium Designer and other professional PCB design tools as needed.
• Support new PCB designs as well as modifications and improvements to existing electronic hardware.
• Assist with component selection and the development of electrical interfaces for power, digital, analog, and mixed-signal circuitry.
• Work with power, digital, analog, and mixed-signal circuits to meet performance, reliability, and environmental requirements.
• Support and participate in PCB design reviews, verification activities, and release of designs to manufacturing.
• Develop and maintain engineering documentation, including schematics, PCB layouts, bills of materials, specifications, and test documentation.
• Support PCB fabrication and assembly processes, including board bring-up and initial hardware validation.
• Use standard electrical laboratory test equipment to troubleshoot board-level electrical issues and verify design performance.
• Support integration and testing of PCBs and CCAs into larger electrical and spacecraft systems.
• Collaborate closely with mechanical, systems, manufacturing, quality, and test engineering teams to ensure successful product development.
• Review test results, identify issues, and assist with troubleshooting and corrective actions to improve design robustness.
• Participate in environmental, qualification, and acceptance testing activities for mission-critical hardware as needed.
• Contribute to transitioning products from prototype through production, ensuring design intent and manufacturability are maintained.
• Apply relevant industry standards, such as IPC Class 3 and mission-critical hardware requirements, during design and documentation.

• At least 2 years of professional electrical hardware or PCB design experience.
• Hands-on experience with schematic capture, PCB design and layout, component selection, board bring-up, hardware troubleshooting, and testing.
• Proficiency with Altium Designer or a similar professional PCB design tool for schematic capture and PCB layout.
• Strong understanding of fundamental analog and digital circuit design concepts.
• Familiarity with power electronics and/or high-speed digital design.
• Experience using standard electrical laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, and logic analyzers.
• Ability to read, interpret, and develop electrical schematics and technical documentation.
• Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• Ability to work effectively with cross-functional engineering teams and communicate technical information clearly.
• Attention to detail and commitment to producing reliable, high-quality electronic hardware for mission-critical applications.

• Experience with additional PCB design tools such as Cadence Allegro/OrCAD or Siemens Xpedition (Mentor Graphics).
• Experience supporting space, aerospace, defense, satellite, launch vehicle, or other high-reliability electronics programs.
• Working knowledge of RF front ends, antenna systems, GNSS, telemetry, communications, radar, or electronic warfare systems.
• Familiarity with RF shielding techniques and EMI/EMC mitigation methods.
• Exposure to thermal analysis, power integrity analysis, and the use of signal integrity tools.
• Familiarity with IPC Class 3 standards and mission-critical hardware requirements.
• Experience transitioning products from prototype through production, including design for manufacturability and test.
• Ability to…
