Senior Electrical Engineer

We are seeking a skilled and experienced senior electrical engineer to join our dynamic team. The successful candidate will be responsible for designing, developing, and testing printed circuit boards (PCBs) and electrical system for Safran products. The ideal candidate brings a solid foundation in electrical engineering, PCB and circuit design, and is comfortable working across different electrical engineering focus areas. This role provides opportunities to work through more focused areas in analog, digital, and RF design. As such, this role requires an understanding of electric components, circuit design, and PCB layout, as well as proficiency in industry-standard software and tools. The engineer will work through the full hardware development lifecycle: from concept, schematic capture, and layout review to hardware integration and system validation. Our Technology: We’re the world leader in Resilient Positioning, Navigation and Timing (R-PNT) solutions that improve the reliability, performance, and safety of critical high-riskoperations, even in GPS/GNSS denied environments. We provide virtually fail-safe GNSS and PNT solutions and applications for military and government contract customers. How I will Contribute: Design, development, build and test PCB prototypes, conduct debugging and troubleshooting to identify and resolve issues. Lead smaller projects related to large scale design efforts. Design, develop and test electrical hardware systems and components for electrical systems Perform detailed circuit design, simulation, analysis (analog, digital, and/or mixed signal) Support system-level analysis for performance, including impedance matching, isolation, noise figure, and signal chain integrity Design, simulate, and validate electrical and RF circuits including power supply designs, filters, amplifiers, and digital interfaces Develop and maintain electrical component and hardware specifications and design documentation Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including software engineers, mechanical engineers and manufacturing, to ensure timely delivery of high-quality products Work with a cross-functional team of engineers, providing technical leadership across projects Collaborate on schematic capture, PCB layout, and component selection ensuring best practices for both RF and/or mixed-signal performance. Develop and execute test plans and procedures to ensure the quality and reliability of electrical hardware systems and components Create and maintain detailed design documentation, including schematics, layout files, BOMs (Bill of materials) and test plans. Ensure designs comply with industry standards and regulatory requirements, including MIL-STD, EMI/EMC and safety standards Develop and maintain relationships with vendors and suppliers to ensure the availability of materials and components Collaborate with manufacturing teams to ensure the successful transition of electrical hardware designs to production. Stay updated with the latest advancements in PCB design, materials and manufacturing processes to continuously improve product quality and efficiency What You Bring to the role: 4+ years with A Bachelor’s, or 2+ years with a Master’s degree, in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field. Experience in RF and/or electrical hardware design and validation Hands-on experience in PCB and board layout Proficiency in electrical hardware design tools, such as Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro, or OrCAD Understanding of PCB layout best practices, including high-speed design, EMI/EM considerations, thermal management, RF isolation, and manufacturability Familiarity with industry standards and regulations, such as FCC, EL, CE, and MIL-STD testing Strong understanding of analog, digital, RF, and/or power supply circuit design Proven ability to work across engineering domains Experience with high-speed PCB design and signal integrity analysis is a plus Knowledge of manufacturing processes, DFM (Design for Manufacturing), and DFA (Design for Assembly) principles Documented active US Government Security Clearance at the Secret level or higher highly preferred. Strong written and verbal communication skills Positive attitude and ability to engage and influence Excellent communication and teamwork abilities Ability to manage multiple projects and meet deadlines Some of the Good Stuff: Paid Time Off 401k Retirement Program with Employer Match Tuition Reimbursement Program About Safran Federal Systems: Safran Federal Systems has been awarded as a Winner of the USA Today and Rochester Metro Area Top Workplaces 2026 Award. In 2022, Safran acquired Orolia, now Safran Trusted 4D, the world leader in Resilient PNT. At the intersection of critical infrastructure and national defense, Safran Trusted 4D solutions govern and protect the integrity of systems that shape the world. In early 2019, Orolia Defense & Security spun off as a separate entity from its parent company Orolia, with the mission of providing resilient Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) solutions and custom engineering services to U.S. Government agencies, U.S. Defense organizations, and their contractors. In August of 2019, Orolia Defense & Security acquired Talen-X, a U.S. company specializing in advanced GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) Simulation solutions and Interference, Detection, and Mitigation (IDM) technologies. Talen-X's portfolio was an ideal fit and has helped to enhance Safran FS's overall offerings. The acquisition enabled Talen-X's existing resources, operations, and capabilities to be scaled and accelerated to better support the warfighter. Read the press release here. Safran Federal Systems operates as a proxy-regulated company, Free of Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI). As such, Safran FS Defense & Security is approved to work on the full spectrum of U.S. Government classified and unclassified projects and is positioned to support strategic partnerships in the development of key PNT technologies for the defense market.
