Job Description


Join an engineering team developing and modernizing sophisticated electronic systems that directly support U.S. military platforms. This position offers the opportunity to work hands-on with embedded computing, avionics, RF, radar, and military electronics while solving complex challenges involving both new development and legacy system modernization.

We are seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer who can take ownership of hardware design efforts from initial analysis and design through prototyping, integration, testing, and validation. This is an excellent opportunity for an engineer who enjoys solving difficult technical problems, reverse engineering existing systems, and developing reliable hardware for demanding mission-critical environments.
Responsibilities
  • Design and develop military-grade electronic hardware, including circuit card assemblies, embedded computing systems, automated test equipment (ATE), and radar-related components.
  • Reverse engineer legacy embedded computing and electronic systems to understand existing architectures, interfaces, and functionality.
  • Develop modernized replacement designs while maintaining stringent form, fit, and function requirements.
  • Create electrical schematics, design documentation, engineering drawings, technical reports, and supporting design packages.
  • Perform component selection and support circuit-level design, analysis, and troubleshooting.
  • Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, software, systems, and manufacturing engineering teams throughout the development lifecycle.
  • Support prototype fabrication, hardware bring-up, system integration, troubleshooting, and design refinement.
  • Develop and execute engineering test, verification, and validation activities to confirm system performance and reliability.
  • Identify and resolve technical issues involving embedded electronics, avionics, RF, radar, and related hardware.
  • Ensure designs meet applicable performance, reliability, environmental, and military requirements.
  • Participate in design reviews and contribute technical recommendations throughout the product-development lifecycle.
  • Support continuous improvement initiatives focused on design quality, reliability, manufacturability, and engineering efficiency.
Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related engineering discipline.
  • 5+ years of professional electrical engineering experience involving the design and development of embedded computing or electronic systems.
  • Experience developing embedded computing systems or electronics for military, defense, aerospace, or similarly demanding applications.
  • Strong technical background in one or more of the following areas:
    • Avionics
    • RF systems
    • Radar systems
    • Embedded computing
    • Digital or mixed-signal electronics
  • Experience designing, analyzing, testing, and troubleshooting electronic hardware.
  • Ability to interpret and develop electrical schematics and technical engineering documentation.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to independently investigate complex hardware issues.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret security clearance.
Desired Qualifications
  • Experience reverse engineering electronic hardware or modernizing legacy military systems.
  • Experience developing replacement hardware while maintaining form, fit, and function compatibility with existing systems.
  • Familiarity with ruggedized electronics and military-specification hardware design practices.
  • Knowledge of DoD engineering standards, qualification requirements, and development processes.
  • Experience with high-speed digital circuit design.
  • Experience with analog and mixed-signal electronics.
  • Knowledge of signal processing and RF or radar electronics.
  • Experience designing circuit card assemblies and supporting PCB development.
  • Proficiency with Altium Designer, Mentor Graphics, or comparable electronic design automation (EDA) tools.
  • Experience supporting prototype builds, hardware bring-up, integration, verification, and validation.
  • Familiarity with automated test equipment (ATE) development or test-system design.
Benefits
  • Medical and dental insurance
  • 401(k)
  • Paid time off and company holidays
  • Flexible working environment
  • Collaborative, team-oriented engineering culture
  • Opportunities for continued technical and professional growth
