About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Full cycle PCB design including collecting requirements, schematic design, component selection, supervision or completion of layout, bring-up, test, debug, and system integration.
Conduct bring-up and design work on microcontrollers, ensuring seamless integration within the system.
Troubleshoot issues that span electrical and software boundaries, utilizing both lab equipment (Oscilloscopes, DMM, etc.) and basic software debugging tools.
Work in a fast-paced environment supporting new developments, deployments, and customer operated hardware.
Perform power design, including development and integration of power management systems and components.
Develop payloads and subsystems (sensors, payload interfaces, power management, and networking).
Create system interconnect diagrams and define wire harnesses that connect electronic equipment within a subsystem.
Collaborate closely with other electrical, mechanical, software, firmware, and test engineers to deliver fully functional, mission-critical products.
Conduct peer-level and cross-discipline design reviews.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent, with 3+ years of experience designing, testing, and troubleshooting complex system designs.
Ability to perform power system and electrical loading analysis, simulation, and testing to determine optimal solutions.
High competence using lab test equipment (benchtop power supplies, electronics loads, oscilloscopes, DMM, logic/spectrum analyzers, etc.) with familiarity of thermal and EMI test chambers and using basic software debugging tools.
Familiarity with common electrical bus interfaces (CAN, I2C, SPI, Ethernet, RS232/422, RS485, USB).
Exceptional organization and communication skills (both written and oral).
Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. security clearance.
Experience with power design and power management systems.
Hands-on experience with microcontrollers, including bring-up and design work.
