Co-op from July - December 2027

Mercury Systems is seeking a motivated and innovative Electrical Engineering Co-Op to join our collaborative hardware engineering team. During this hands-on opportunity, you'll gain experience across the full hardware development lifecycle while contributing to the design of advanced technologies used in commercial, defense, and intelligence applications. You'll work closely with a multidisciplinary engineering team and gain exposure to real-world, ruggedized hardware systems.

Job Responsibilities:

• Supporting the design, development, testing, and validation of complex electrical hardware and systems
• Contributing to schematic design, layout support, design verification testing, system integration, and optimization of hardware designs
• Designing and testing complex circuits or sub-modules using schematic capture tools such as Allegro Design Entry HDL and/or Mentor tools
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams including Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, Software, and Procurement
• Supporting design-for-manufacturing (DFM), design-for-assembly (DFA), and design-for-test (DFT) initiatives
• Assisting with lab activities including board bring-up, debugging, validation testing, and environmental testing (EMC, thermal, power, ESS)
• Supporting production by investigating manufacturing issues and field failures
• Drafting test plans, reports, Engineering Change Requests (ECRs), and technical documentation
• Supporting prototype material procurement, structuring Bills of Material (BoMs), and managing part lists
• Assisting with the design of fixtures to support advanced manufacturing techniques
