• Subsystem Development: Design, implement, and test high-current switching power supplies, GNSS receiver modules, and electrical architectures utilizing micro-controllers, CPLDs, and FPGAs.
• Analysis & Simulation: Conduct simulations for signal and power integrity (SI/PI) to ensure design robustness.
• Validation: Perform board bring-up, debugging, and Design Verification Testing (DVT) to ensure prototypes meet operational requirements.
• Manufacturing Support: Collaborate with procurement, suppliers, and Contract Manufacturers (CMs) to support DFM and DFA tasks.
• Documentation: Maintain rigorous lab notes and document all design, test, and validation details throughout the development cycle.
• Automation & AI Integration: Utilize Python for test automation, data analysis, and scripting to streamline the design and validation process. Leverage AI tools to assist in schematic generation, predictive debugging, and optimizing electrical component selection.

Required Qualifications & Skills

• Education: Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering; Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering; or other relevant degree required.
• Experience: Minimum of four (4) years of related work experience.
• Proficiency in Cadence (Allegro/OrCAD) or other ECAD software

Technical Core:

• Strong knowledge of microelectronics, electrical power systems, and circuit theories.
• Experience with high-speed multi-gigabit digital system design.
• Proficiency with schematic and PCB layout tools.

Preferred Skills & Experience

• High-Speed Expertise: Demonstrated experience in high-speed Ku/Ka/Q band design.
• Memory Design: Proven experience with DDR memory design (DDR3/DDR4/DDR5), including length matching, impedance control, and topology constraints
• Tools: Hands-on experience with lab equipment (oscilloscopes, function generators, etc.) and simulation tools like HyperLynx or PSPICE.
• Strong knowledge of various protocols, including Ethernet, SPI, LVDS, RS232, RS422 etc
• Strong knowledge of general power supply components
• Experience in FPGA design and microprocessors is a plus
• Strong communication skills and the ability to communicate ideas with engineers, vendors, and customers
• Strong attention to detail
• Proficiency in Python for engineering applications and familiarity with AI-assisted design platforms.

Physical Requirements

• Prolonged periods of sitting at a desk working on computers.
• Continually required to utilize hand and finger dexterity.
• Must be able to lift up to at least 25 pounds at times.
• Ability to traverse to multiple locations.
