Job Description:

L3Harris is seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer to design, develop, integrate, test, and sustain electronics for maritime applications at its Northampton, Massachusetts site. The engineer will take designs from concept through released hardware, system-level integration, production support, and fielded-product sustainment. This onsite role combines hands-on Circuit Card Assembly design with cross-functional execution in a production environment.

Essential Functions:

• Design and develop mixed-signal Circuit Card Assemblies from requirements through released, production-ready hardware.
• Derive requirements; select components; perform circuit design and analysis; and define circuit-level verification and test methods.
• Review Printed Wiring Board layouts and collaborate with manufacturers to resolve fabrication and assembly questions.
• Design or specify test methods, automated test equipment, test sets, and cable harnesses used to verify electronic hardware.
• Apply EMI design practices and support troubleshooting or corrective actions for CCA and system-level EMI issues.
• Perform hardware bring-up, troubleshooting, test, checkout, and redesign activities for prototypes and production hardware.
• Support production operations by diagnosing electrical issues and coordinating timely, configuration-controlled corrective actions.
• Work with systems, mechanical, software, firmware, manufacturing, quality, supply-chain, and program teams through design, integration, and test.
• Support engineering estimates, schedules, design documentation, and internal and external design-review material.
• Support procurement by evaluating technical alternatives and addressing component obsolescence or availability issues.
• Provide technical guidance and mentoring to developing engineers and support Electrical Engineering leads with task planning and delegation.
• Work onsite in Northampton, Massachusetts. Occasional business travel may be required by exception.
• Ability to obtain US Secret Security Clearance

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s Degree and minimum 6 years of prior relevant experience. Graduate Degree and a minimum of 4 years of prior related experience. In lieu of a degree, minimum of 10 years of prior related experience.
• 6 or more years of electrical engineering experience in a product-development environment.
• Experience with mixed-signal Circuit Card Assembly design and development, including requirements derivation, component selection, circuit design and analysis, layout review, test, and troubleshooting.
• Knowledge of electromagnetic interference (EMI) design, analysis, testing, and troubleshooting for Circuit Card Assemblies and higher-level electronic systems.
• Experience moving electronic designs from concept through verification, release, integration, and production support.
• Ability to communicate technical decisions clearly in written documentation, design reviews, and cross-functional discussions.

Preferred Additional Skills:

• Experience with Mentor Graphics PADS and/or Xpedition
• Experience with FPGA-based electronics, including Xilinx devices and VHDL; familiarity with TIVA microcontrollers or digital signal processors is a plus.
• Experience with electronics used in maritime, defense, or other high-reliability applications.
• Experience designing automated test equipment, test sets, or cable harnesses.
• Familiarity with configuration management, engineering change control, and production documentation.
• Familiarity with thermal, tolerance, and reliability analysis for electronic hardware.
• Experience supporting electronics manufacturing, failure analysis, and corrective redesign.
• Experience providing technical leadership or mentoring in a multi-disciplinary engineering team.

In compliance with pay transparency requirements, the salary range for this role in Massachusetts is $106,500- $197,500. This is not a guarantee of compensation or salary, as final offer amount may vary based on factors including but not limited to experience and geographic location.
