  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline. 3 or more years of experience designing and developing embedded and board-level electronic hardware.
  • Proficient in high-speed digital and analog circuit design, including PCI-e, DDR, LVDS, and switching power supplies.
  • Hands-on experience with microprocessor-based systems, FPGAs, digital logic, memory architectures, and power electronics.
  • Skilled in schematic capture and PCB design tools (e.g., Altium, OrCAD, HyperLynx) and knowledgeable in signal / power integrity and simulation.
  • Strong collaborator with cross-functional teams; experience with EMI / EMC compliance, radiation testing, and scripting in Python or PowerShell.
  • Ability to obtain a U.S. security clearance.
  • COMPENSATION & BENEFITS :
