Senior Electronics Engineer II

JOB DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

• Own end-to-end design of complex electronics modules and small systems, from concept and architecture through schematic, layout, test, and production. Products may include high-speed digital, power electronics, and RF.
• Lead small teams of hardware engineers to develop new products with multiple electronics modules.
• Develop hardware architecture and write hardware requirements for systems of moderate complexity.
• Perform detailed and complete schematic design for complex boards, ranging from key components to supporting passives.
• Perform detailed PCB layout in Altium Designer for complex boards, sometimes working with a PCB Drafter.
• Complete analysis such as worst-case circuit analysis, signal integrity analysis, and power integrity analysis, and guide interpretation of results.
• Develop bring-up plans and design verification plans for new hardware and systems
• Perform bring-up and key verification testing of modules and small integrated systems, often working with a technician to complete validation.
• Release modules and small assemblies to production, working with the Manufacturing and Test Engineering teams.
• Mentor junior and senior engineers to build technical understanding and professional development.
• Use working knowledge of adjacent fields, such as software and mechanical, to streamline development of electronics modules and systems.

JOB REQUIREMENTS AND MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor of Science (BS) degree or higher in Electrical Engineering from an accredited university.
• Minimum of 6 years of relevant experience in board-level electronics design, analysis, and test.
• Direct experience designing high-reliability electronics for space or defense applications, including part derating, worst-case analysis, and thermal constraints.
• Experience owning the design phase of complex board-level electronics, including trade studies, key part selection, and detailed design.
• Experience delivering hardware designs through production and deployment.
• Expertise in PCB layout, including high-density interconnect (HDI) stackup design and high-speed routing.
• Experience running board-level signal integrity and/or power integrity simulation tools such as Ansys SIwave, ADS SIPro, or Mentor Hyperlynx.
• Strong working knowledge of adjacent fields, such as software and mechanical, that guides hardware design and system design.
• Expert-level proficiency in electronics design tools such as Altium.
• Extensive lab experience for bring-up and verification of new hardware.
• Excellent written and spoken communication skills.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE

• Experience leading small teams of hardware engineers to develop multi-module assemblies, including hardware architecture, requirements, make/buy decisions, and interconnects.
• Design for space radiation environments.
