Electrical Engineer, Lead

Job Title: Lead, RF/Wireless Engrg

Job Code: 39397

Job Location: Yorba Linda, California, On Site

Job Schedule: 4/10:
Employees work 10 hour days, 4 days a week with every Friday off

As a Lead Electrical Engineer, the candidate must have experience with L band RF systems, able to work from customer requirements to derive additional requirements, define the architecture of a possible solution based on requirements, set up a requirements schema & link requirements to documents (systems/subsystem specification, hardware/RF architecture description document, etc.) and flow down applicable requirements to other groups (software, ASIC, & test) so that they can contribute to realize the end solution based on the proposed architecture.

The Lead EE will also oversee the development of a qualification test plan that will ensure that the architecture and solution satisfy the customers’ requirements. The Lead EE will also work with subject matter experts in the areas of GPS signal processing, anti-jam signal processing, other hardware design team members, control software, and government qualification standards. As a Lead EE, the candidate is expected to understand each aspect of the technology used in the proposed solution.

The Lead EE also must work with the cost account manager, program management, and project management to develop the solution within the program’s budget and schedule.
