• Perform electronic component selection and circuit calculations based on customer and engineering requirements.
• Design and troubleshoot FPGA-based digital systems using VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog.
• Support embedded processor and microcontroller-based hardware.
• Design and integrate Data Acquisition (DAQ) and instrumentation systems.
• Develop signal-conditioning circuits for voltage, current, temperature, pressure, speed, vibration, RTD, thermocouple, LVDT, encoder, and other sensors.
• Design and troubleshoot interfaces including Ethernet, RS-232/485, CAN, SPI, I²C, UART, ADC/DAC, and digital/analog I/O.
• Interface electronic hardware with PLCs, HMIs, PCs, servo drives, VFDs, motors, generators, and load banks.
• Perform prototype hardware bring-up, power-up, debugging, calibration, and validation.
• Use oscilloscopes, DMMs, logic analyzers, power supplies, and other laboratory equipment for troubleshooting.
• Support EMI/EMC, grounding, shielding, ESD, and electrical noise mitigation.
• Assist technicians with PCB assembly, wiring, system integration, and troubleshooting.
• Support customer installations, commissioning, FAT/SAT, and field troubleshooting as required.
• Develop standardized electronic hardware platforms and reusable designs.
• Prepare engineering documentation, test procedures, reports, and design revisions.
• Work closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams to meet project technical, schedule, and quality requirements.
• Travel up to 20%.

Required Qualifications:

• BSEE, BSECE, Computer Engineering, or equivalent degree.
• Minimum 7 years of electrical/electronics engineering experience.
• Strong experience in electronics hardware design.
• Experience with PCB schematic capture and PCB layout, preferably 5+ years.
• Experience with analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuit design.
• Experience with FPGA development using VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog.
• Experience with Data Acquisition systems, ADC/DAC, instrumentation, and signal conditioning.
• Experience with microcontrollers, embedded processors, or FPGA/SoC systems.
• Experience with hardware debugging using oscilloscopes, DMMs, logic analyzers, and other test equipment.
• Knowledge of AC/DC power and control systems.
• Experience with industrial communication protocols such as Ethernet, RS-232/485, CAN, SPI, I²C, and UART.
• Ability to interpret customer specifications, SOWs, schematics, datasheets, and engineering drawings.
• Knowledge of applicable NEC, IEC, IPC, and aerospace electronic design standards.
• Strong technical, written, and verbal communication skills.
• Proficiency with MS Word and Excel.
• US Green Card or US Citizenship required.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Aerospace or automotive test equipment experience.
• Experience with aircraft generator, starter-generator, IDG, VFSG, or APU test systems.
• Experience with high-voltage/high-power test equipment and load banks.
• Experience with LabVIEW, MATLAB/Simulink, Python, C/C++, or similar tools.
• Experience with Siemens, Rockwell, or AutomationDirect PLC/HMI systems.
• Experience with servo drives and VFDs.
• Knowledge of DO-160, MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-810, and IPC standards.
• Experience with customer acceptance testing, installation, and commissioning.

Position Summary:

This position offers the opportunity to work on custom aerospace test equipment from concept and electronic design through prototype development, system integration, testing, and customer installation.

Education: BSEE/BSECE or equivalent Experience: 7+ years Travel: Up to 20% Work Authorization: US Green Card or US Citizenship required
