Support new product teams in the development of production test equipment. Apply expertise in electrical/electronic analog and digital circuit design, including power supply and power conversion, front-end sensor circuits, ADC and DAC, microprocessors, microcontrollers, and FPGAs. Utilize a demonstrable background in designing high-reliability analog and digital electronics, including precision instrumentation amplifier frontends and mixed-signal interfaces. Design high-efficiency power conversion circuits for low-power, battery-operated systems. Implement EMI/EMC best design practices. Apply knowledge of PCB layout requirements, packaging tradeoffs, and testing of low-noise, mixed-mode circuitry for electro-optical applications. Design electronic modules, including rigid and flexible PCBAs and related interconnects. Utilize ECAD/CAE software tools in the design and analysis of electrical and electronic modules. Execute design, development, integration, and testing of electrical/electronic, electro-mechanical, and electro-optical components, subsystems, and systems. Design for manufacturing, test, power, size, weight, and DTUPC project requirements. Design for high reliability and harsh MIL-STD environments, including shock/vibration, extreme temperatures, and immersion. Work with PCB designers to create low-noise, high-reliability board designs. Integrate custom and off-the-shelf electrical/electronic modules into product designs and production test equipment. Perform electrical/electronic module and system design and analysis, including circuit analysis, modeling, simulation, and timing analysis. Develop detailed design documentation. Lead and participate in design reviews. Conduct design analysis and testing to prove design meets requirements, including EMC testing. Demonstrate proficiency with laboratory instrumentation and data collection for performance analysis and troubleshooting, including data analysis, calculations, generating graphs/diagrams, and writing reports. Apply post-design and troubleshooting skills with solid hands-on lab experience using oscilloscopes, logic/spectrum analyzers, and other required test equipment. Lead and support root cause and corrective action (RCCA) teams in the resolution of technical issues. Transition new designs and technologies to production. Support sustaining electrical engineering for qualified production designs. Generate and process engineering change orders (ECOs) as required. Utilize experience with SOPs, process control, and standardization of work output. Demonstrate strong verbal and written communication, collaboration, time management, organizational, and presentation skills. Must-Haves (Hard Skills): Bachelor's degree in Industrial and Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Materials Science Engineering, or a related field. Requires advanced job knowledge and skills. Minimum 5 years of experience developing electrical engineering hardware within the defense, aerospace, or medical product fields. EE-specific software experience in ECAD (Siemens Cadence OrCAD Capture CIS, Allegro) and PSPICE circuit simulation. Nice-To-Haves (Hard Skills): Knowledge and experience with Microsoft Tool Suite. Experience in the development of manufacturing work instructions. Knowledge and experience with ISO9001/AS9100.
