About the role

  • Lead the architecture, design, development, and integration of electronic hardware for aerospace AR systems.
  • Own schematic capture, component placement, and PCB layout.
  • Perform prototyping, hardware bring-up, validation, and transition to production for custom CCAs/PCBAs.
  • Ensure compliance with environmental, EMC, and MIL-STD requirements for aerospace hardware.
  • Maintain and improve electrical engineering processes, documentation, and design standards.
  • Conduct power and signal integrity simulations to ensure design robustness.
  • Design for and release rigid, flex, and rigid-flex board structures.
  • Work directly with manufacturing fabrication and assembly houses to ensure quality, manufacturability, and schedule alignment.
  • Lead design reviews, risk assessments, and trade studies to ensure robust, sustainable designs.
  • Collaborate with mechanical, software, FPGA, and systems engineering teams to deliver integrated solutions.
  • Select components based on performance, reliability, availability, and cost considerations.
  • Debug and troubleshoot complex hardware issues in both development and fielded systems.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
  • 10+ years of experience in electronics design, with proven delivery of hardware from concept through bring-up and production.
