Electrical Engineer

Role:

• Support the definition, design, and implementation of electrical subsystem architectures for electronically-steered radar, including power systems, mixed-signal electronics, digital control boards, RF front-end interfaces, and embedded processing circuitry.
• Execute full product lifecycle activities: requirements development, detailed design, schematic capture, PCB layout collaboration, prototype build, bring-up, debug, and qualification.
• Perform hands-on bench testing, characterization, and root-cause analysis across power, digital, and mixed-signal circuits, using standard lab instrumentation.
• Develop and execute environmental and functional test plans to ensure hardware reliability in thermal-vacuum, vibration/shock, EMI/EMC, and radiation environments.
• Create and maintain engineering documentation including schematics, BOMs, test procedures, configuration records, and integration guides.
• Collaborate closely with systems engineering, RF/antenna, mechanical/thermal, software/firmware, and manufacturing partners to ensure seamless integration and robust hardware-software performance.
• Support manufacturability and cost-efficient production through DFX principles and NPI handoff to production partners.
• Engage with suppliers, fabrication partners, and subcontractors throughout the product development lifecycle.

Required Qualifications :

• BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 5+ years of hands-on experience designing, building, and testing electronic systems (power electronics, mixed-signal, digital, or RF-adjacent).
• Proficiency with schematic design tools and familiarity with PCB layout workflows.
• Strong understanding of EMI/EMC fundamentals, grounding, signal integrity, power integrity, and high-reliability design practices.
• Experience performing bench-level bring-up and debug using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power supplies, signal generators, and related equipment.
• Demonstrated ability to support hardware through environmental qualification (thermal, vibration, shock, EMI/EMC, TVAC, etc.) or willingness to learn quickly.
• Ability to work cross-functionally on multi-disciplinary hardware teams in a fast-moving startup environment.
• Excellent communication skills, with ability to clearly present technical findings and collaborate effectively across engineering functions.
• Must be eligible to obtain and hold a US DoD security clearance.

Bonus:

• Experience with electronically-steered or phased-array radar systems, mixed-signal analog front ends, or RF/antenna electronics.
• Familiarity with radiation-tolerant design, COTS-to-space conversion strategies, and component-level derating approaches for LEO environments.
• Experience with high-speed digital design, DDR interfaces, FPGA/SoC power architectures, or precision timing/synchronization circuitry.
• Familiarity with modeling and simulation tools for signal integrity, power integrity, RF, or thermal/structural analysis.
• Experience qualifying hardware for space, defense, or other high-reliability environments.
• Exposure to manufacturing scaling, DFM for electronics, or lean hardware development practices.
• Experience coordinating with global suppliers, electronics manufacturers, and specialized test facilities.
