Job Description

We’re seeking a senior Hardware Design Engineer to lead the development of complex electronics from early concept through detailed design, hardware bring-up, analysis, and production. This role combines architecture-level decision-making with hands‑on design in a high-reliability environment.

The initial focus will be developing concepts, conducting trade studies, and defining the hardware architecture. As development progresses, you’ll guide design execution, integration, testing, and worst-case analysis. Previous leadership experience is preferred, with the ability to take technical ownership essential.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop hardware concepts and conduct trade studies to evaluate architectures and establish the design approach.
• Lead the design of multilayer analog, digital, and mixed‑signal printed wiring boards (PWBs).
• Define and evaluate processor, FPGA, and microcontroller‑based architectures, including timing and loop analysis.
• Design power circuitry and power conversion systems.
• Develop analog‑to‑digital and digital‑to‑analog conversion circuitry.
• Perform worst‑case analysis and component derating assessments to support reliable operation.
• Support hardware bring‑up, integration, debugging, and verification.
• Design for applicable military and aerospace requirements, including MIL-STD-461 and MIL-STD-810.
• Collaborate with engineering teams and management to communicate design decisions, technical risks, and development progress.
• Guide technical execution from concept through production.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering with 15+ years of hardware design experience.
• Proven experience taking products from concept through production in a regulated or high‑reliability environment.
• Strong background in analog and mixed‑signal PWB design, multilayer boards, and processor/FPGA‑based architectures.
• Experience with power design and power conversion.
• Experience with hardware bring‑up, worst‑case analysis, and component derating.
• Familiarity with military and aerospace standards.
• Ability to lead technical work and communicate clearly with engineers and management.
• U.S. citizenship required for ITAR work.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering.
• Previous technical leadership experience.
• Familiarity with Siemens Xpedition or a comparable EDA toolset.
• Experience with MIL-STD-461/MIL-STD-810 qualification testing.
• Experience with lasers, fiber optics, optical receivers, and associated signal output circuitry.
• Experience designing laser drivers, photodiode/avalanche photodiode (APD) circuits, and transimpedance amplifiers (TIAs).
