Background/Need
Group 76 is seeking a highly experienced Electrical Engineer to support software and electronics engineering for advanced embedded and electrical systems in high-reliability aerospace and defense applications. This role combines real-time embedded software development with electrical hardware design, including power systems, circuit design, and system integration.

The engineer will work closely with a multidisciplinary team to architect, implement, and test complex systems spanning embedded software, firmware, and electronic hardware for mission-critical prototypes. An active Top Secret (TS) clearance or higher is required for this position.
Virtual/Work from Home
Onsite
Other information relevant to the job requirement?
-Collaborate with a small, multidisciplinary team to define system architecture and derive software and hardware requirements from high-level system designs.
-Design, simulate, and implement analog, digital, and power circuits, including schematic capture and board layout
-Conduct system trade studies and performance benchmarking across hardware and software implementations
-Debug, characterize, and qualify new circuits and embedded systems
-Utilize laboratory instrumentation (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, signal generators, etc.) for validation and troubleshooting
-Document designs, test results, and system performance

Required Qualifications:
-Extensive experience developing real-time embedded systems for hardware control
-Experience integrating software with physical hardware systems
-Strong background in analog, digital, and power circuit design
-Experience with full hardware lifecycle: design, schematic capture, layout, debugging, and testing
-Experience with SPICE modeling and circuit simulation
-Experience with Mentor Graphics / Xpedition / DxDesigner or similar tools
-Experience with power electronics and control/conversion systems

Preferred Skills:
-Strong proficiency in C/C++ programming for embedded applications
-Experience with RTOS environments (e.G., VxWorks, real-time Linux, Xenomai)
-Experience with multi-threaded, interrupt-driven, and deterministic systems

-Candidate should expect to be onsite 100% of the time due to the nature of the work
-Candidates must have an ACTIVE Top Secret clearance in order to be considered for this role.
-Interview process: initial technical screening and then a second round with a wider group audience. If the candidates are local, the second round interview would be in person. The group will entertain zoom interviews for any relocation candidates.
