Base pay $85,500.00/yr - $128,500.00/yr
Department summary MITRE\'s Electronic Systems Development department is seeking to hire talented engineers starting Summer of 2026 with a background in Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and/or Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) design to support advanced research and development projects of national significance. Qualified candidates will join a multi-disciplinary team to help support the design and implementation of proof-of-concept prototype systems on embedded hardware platforms. Our diverse set of sponsors and research objectives provide a wide variety of interesting work opportunities such as:
Real-time communication and sensor systems leveraging cutting-edge ASIC design, FPGA technology, and Software-Defined Radio (SDR) platforms
Advanced architectures for high throughput signal processing algorithms
Tightly integrated, custom platforms targeting low size, weight, power and cost (SWaP-C) applications
Roles & responsibilities Our team specializes in rapid prototyping of advanced sensor, communication, and navigation systems on state-of-the-art embedded system platforms. This position provides an exciting opportunity to work on the following:
Component development across FPGA and ASIC technologies
Implementation of algorithms in SW/HW on embedded systems
Development, integration, and testing of custom prototypes in the lab
Basic qualifications We are interested in highly motivated candidates with a wide variety of skills, insatiable curiosity, enthusiasm, and the ability and interest to dig deep on challenging technical problems. Minimum qualifications include:
Typically requires less than 1 year of related experience with a related Bachelor's degree, or equivalent combination of related education and work experience.
