Circuit Design Engineer

Role: Circuit Design Engineer Client: Defense-Aerospace Hourly Rate: up to $71/hr (W2, non-benefited) Length: 1-year contract Location: Orlando, FL - Hybrid Shift: 4x10, 1 st Shift Clearance: Due to nature of work performed within the facility, U.S. citizenship is required.

Position Description

• Defining performance, power, and interface requirements for the CCA and documenting them in clear, traceable specifications.
• Creating schematic capture, PCB layout, and bill of materials (BOM) using industry standard tools (e.g., Altium, Cadence).
• Conducting simulation, signal integrity, and power analysis studies to validate design choices early in the development cycle.
• Building and testing prototype hardware in the lab, troubleshooting issues, and iterating designs to meet V&V milestones.
• Coordinating with mechanical and systems teams to ensure seamless integration with launcher subsystems and compliance with SWaP C constraints.
• Preparing and delivering technical briefings, design reviews, and status updates for senior engineering, program management, and customers.
• Managing configuration control, documentation, and change requests in the PLM system to maintain a robust, audit ready design history.
• Supporting environmental qualification (vibration, shock, thermal, radiation) and analyzing results to drive design improvements
• Core days in office: Tuesday and Wednesday. Flex WFH days Monday or Thursday. Dependent on program needs. Required 3 days a week on site.

Required Skills

• Minimum 3 years of professional experience in circuit design engineering or a related discipline
• Demonstrated experience with circuit card design, integration, and test for one or more of the following: digital electronics, power electronics, analog/mixed-signal, or FPGA-based processor boards
• Experience with Siemens Xpedition Enterprise or equivalent for schematic capture
• Experience with Cadence PSpice or equivalent for circuit simulation and analysis
• Experience with signal integrity tools such as Mentor Graphics Hyperlynx or equivalent
• Experience with developing and refining system, performance, interface, and environmental requirements for circuit card designs

Desired Skills

• Experience with MFC circuit card design processes and the Design Assurance process
• Experience with military standards and specifications, including MIL-STD-461 and MIL-STD-704
• Experience with Xilinx/AMD FPGA families (UltraScale, Versal)
• High-speed design experience including PCIe, Gigabit Ethernet, SERDES, or DDR4/5 memory interfaces
• MATLAB experience for analysis and simulation
• Experience with MOSA (Modular Open Systems Architecture) and WOSA (Weapon Open Systems Architecture)
• Experience with CAMEO or equivalent requirements management tools
• Experience with rigidflex circuit card design
• Experience with environmental qualification testing (vibration, shock, thermal, radiation)
• Demonstrated effective communication skills
• Active DoD Secret or Top Secret clearance

Required Education and Experience

Bachelor of Science degree or higher from an accredited college in Electrical Engineering or equivalent, with a minimum of three years of professional experience
