In this role, you will focus on designing and developing high-performance, rugged electronics for mission-critical defense applications, with a strong emphasis on PCB layout and design. If you have experience or an interest in RF circuit and antenna design, that would be a significant advantage. The ideal candidate will possess a strong foundation in electronics design and demonstrate the ability to contribute throughout the entire product development lifecyclefrom concept and prototyping to production and sustainment. Clearance:
An
ACTIVE Secret Clearance
is a requirement for this position. Selected applicants will undergo a security investigation and may need to meet eligibility criteria for access to classified information.
US Citizenship
is necessary to obtain a clearance. Requirements: Minimum of 3 years of experience in microelectronics design and development, emphasizing PCB layout and design. Proficient in design tools such as Altium Designer, Eagle, OrCAD, or similar. Strong foundation in analog and digital circuit theory and practical design. Familiarity with lab testing tools like oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, VNAs, etc. Understanding of DFM/DFT/DFA best practices in a defense context. Excellent organizational and communication skills with a keen attention to detail. Responsibilities: Design, analyze, and validate analog, digital, and RF circuitry for embedded systems. Lead the PCB layout and design of high-reliability, multi-layer boards in compliance with military standards (MIL-STD) and IPC class specifications. Integrate various sensors (IMUs, GPS, environmental, etc.) and communication modules (LTE, UHF, SATCOM, etc.) into embedded and modular systems. Develop and integrate RF front-ends and antennas for secure communications and sensor applications. Perform schematic capture, BOM generation, layout, and detailed documentation for design reviews and production. Work collaboratively with firmware, mechanical, systems, and test engineers to deliver ruggedized and SWaP-optimized solutions. Conduct signal integrity analysis, power distribution verification, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) assessments. Support environmental and compliance testing, including EMI/EMC, shock, vibration, and thermal tests. Maintain design documentation and contribute to configuration management and version control. Preferred Skills and Experience: Background in RF circuit design, including filters, LNAs, mixers, and impedance-matched networks. Knowledge of antenna design and integration for GNSS, SATCOM, cellular, telemetry, etc. Experience in designing low power and ultra-low power embedded devices. Hands-on experience with RF simulation tools like CST, HFSS, or Keysight ADS. Familiarity with military standards (MIL-STD) related to microelectronics. Experience with embedded systems, microcontrollers, and interface protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet). Experience in end-to-end lifecycle development for defense platforms. Education:
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field (Master's preferred). Compensation:
