Location: Littleton, CO

About the Role


We are looking for a talented Circuit Design Engineer to join a collaborative engineering team developing advanced avionics and aerospace electronics solutions. In this role, you will contribute to the full hardware development lifecycle, from circuit design and analysis through integration, testing, troubleshooting, and product certification activities.


You will work alongside cross-functional teams to create reliable, high-performance electronic systems that operate in demanding environments while driving technical excellence and innovation.


What You'll Do
• Design and develop digital and mixed-signal electronic circuits for avionics and aerospace applications.
• Create and maintain electrical schematics and collaborate with PCB layout engineers to ensure high-quality board designs.
• Perform electrical analyses, including: Worst Case Analysis (WCA), Electrical Parts Stress Analysis (EPSA), Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
• Support hardware development through all phases of the product lifecycle, including design, integration, verification, validation, and certification.
• Investigate and resolve hardware test anomalies through systematic troubleshooting and root cause analysis.
• Conduct circuit, board-level, and system-level failure investigations.
• Support system integration, qualification testing, and product verification activities.
• Prepare and present technical documentation, design reviews, analysis reports, and verification results to engineering teams and stakeholders.
• Partner with systems, test, manufacturing, and program teams to ensure successful product delivery.


Minimum Qualifications
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
• 3+ years of professional experience in electronic hardware design and development.
• Experience with digital circuit design at the board/card level, including schematic development and electrical analysis.
• Experience supporting requirements verification and hardware validation activities.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent written, verbal, and presentation communication skills.


Preferred Qualifications
• Experience across multiple engineering disciplines, including design, test, systems engineering, and operations.
• Experience with avionics, aerospace, defense, missile, or mission-critical electronic systems.
• Experience using schematic capture tools such as Siemens Xpedition or similar ECAD platforms.
• Experience with circuit simulation tools such as PSpice, Saber, or equivalent.
• Experience performing: Worst Case Analysis (WCA), Electrical Parts Stress Analysis (EPSA), Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Circuit Failure Mode Analysis
• Experience conducting electronic hardware failure investigations at the circuit card assembly (CCA), unit, and system levels.
• Demonstrated ability to communicate complex technical concepts to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Experience working in a fast-paced, collaborative engineering environment.
• Strong conflict resolution, collaboration, and stakeholder management skills.
• Self-motivated with the ability to adapt quickly and solve complex technical challenges.
