Hardware Integration Engineer
Defense Technology LLC
The Role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Own the integration, assembly and calibration of an imaging sensor package as a complete working system, from the first bench prototype through repeatable production units. You will drive quick hardware iteration cycles, partner with algorithm and opto-mechanical colleagues, and take charge of testing, qualification and supplier readiness.
What You'll Do
- Integrate cameras, optics, compute, inertial sensors and power electronics into a compact sensor assembly, including packaging, harnessing and assembly.
- Build, bring up and calibrate units so that each one performs consistently.
- Run repeated cycles of build, field test, data analysis and redesign across several systems in development at the same time.
- Work with algorithm and opto-mechanical engineers to tune and refine the design based on test data.
- Own test procedures, environmental qualification and supply chain for the assembly.
- Automate repetitive tasks using Python and AI tools.
What We're Looking For
- A university degree in engineering, physics or a closely related discipline.
- Around 8 or more years of hands-on hardware engineering experience.
- A track record of quickly turning ideas into working electronics prototypes, using bench builds, fast fabrication and homemade test fixtures.
- Strong CAD and GD&T skills for fitting dense assemblies into tight spaces.
- Experience taking a complete imaging product from integration through to deployment in the field.
- Comfort working in a fast build-and-test cycle at an early stage of a product.
- Daily use of modern AI tools in your workflow.
- Ability to work fully on-site, with regular weekend travel to a test site and suppliers.
Bonus Points
- Background in defense sensing hardware, including cooling, ruggedization and calibration.
- Experience designing, building, calibrating or analyzing sensor systems.
- Familiarity with qualifying hardware for harsh flight or airborne conditions.
- Relocation support
Location And Work Model
- Los Angeles, California, United States
- On-site, 5 days per week in office
