Overview
Practice Leader, Engineering and Construction | Partnering with Industrial Leaders for Transformational Growth and Lasting Impact Client Overview:
Augmented Reality | Aerospace Innovation | Defense Tech Training. Our client is a venture-backed aerospace technology company building next-generation augmented reality systems that are transforming military flight training. Their proprietary technology enables pilots to simulate cognitive challenges of air combat in real time, at speed and scale—redefining how the next generation of fighter pilots train. Position : Principal Electrical Engineer — Louisville, CO. Lead the design and development of rugged, airborne electronics powering mission-critical AR platforms. What You’ll Be Doing
Architect, design, and develop electrical hardware for airborne AR platforms Own the full hardware lifecycle: requirements, simulation, schematic capture, PCB layout, bring-up, and integration Ensure compliance with MIL-STD-704 and other aerospace/military standards Lead verification, testing, and qualification campaigns (EMI, thermal, vibration, etc.) Collaborate cross-functionally with software, mechanical, and systems engineers Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior/mid-level engineers Drive continuous improvement in design processes, DFM/DFT practices, and system integration What You Bring
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (or related) 10+ years of electrical design experience for complex hardware systems Expertise in high-speed digital (DDR3/DDR4, PCIe, USB 3.0, DisplayPort), mixed-signal, analog, and power circuit design Experience with FPGAs, SoCs, and embedded systems Proficiency in Altium (schematic/PCB layout) and standard lab tools (oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, etc.) Proven background designing for aerospace-grade reliability and MIL-spec compliance U.S. Citizenship (ability to obtain a security clearance required) Bonus if you have experience with FPGA RTL design, manufacturing documentation (Gerbers, BOMs, stackups), first-article builds, or environmental qualification testing. Compensation & Benefits
Base pay range: $180,000.00/yr - $210,000.00/yr Annual Bonus 100% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision coverage (employee) PTO package: vacation, sick time, holidays, and parental leave Short- and long-term disability Flexible Spending Account (FSA) Voluntary benefits (accident, critical illness, hospital indemnity) Mission-driven culture building hardware that truly matters Job Function & Seniority
Job function: Engineering, Design, and Management Seniority level: Mid-Senior level Employment type: Full-time Ready to apply your expertise in high-speed digital and aerospace-grade electronics to a mission-critical, next-generation AR system?
