The Senior Electrical Engineer is responsible for troubleshooting circuit card manufacturing defects, working to support Root Cause Corrective Action reports, and synthesizing & communicating solutions to the wider product team. The primary role of this engineer is to assist in a production support capacity for a low-rate initial production design. The candidate will be involved in maturing pre-planned product improvement concepts for the program and developing production manufacturing test adapters. Additionally, the candidate will be tasked to design and develop circuit card assemblies (CCA) and modules such as test adapters and fielded systems. The Electrical Engineer should be experienced in most aspects of circuit card design from concept through delivery to higher level assemblies as evidenced by multiple successful design completions (including hardware/firmware designs with microcontrollers or microprocessors, FPGAs, memory, and industry interfaces, such as PCIe, Ethernet, I2C, UART). Candidates must exhibit a high degree of initiative and sound judgment, working independently and as a member of the Electrical Hardware Development Team. It is essential the individual be capable of adapting to changing conditions and work cooperatively in a team environment.
The candidate shall utilize simulation tools such as SPICE to model electronics behavior. The candidate shall design analog circuits to meet a set of requirements. The candidate shall perform component selection and schematic capture. The candidate shall guide Electronic Computer-Aided Design (ECAD) personnel through PWB layout of circuitry and technical drawing creation. The candidate shall utilize analysis tools like Mathcad and/or Matlab to assess electrical design robustness of circuitry. The candidate shall perform design reviews, equipment integration, profiling, and testing.
The candidate must be proficient with Microsoft Office suite; routine communication will occur through MS Teams, OneNote, Azure DevOps, Excel, and e-mail.
