The successful candidate will possess strong electrical engineering fundamentals, hands-on hardware development experience, and an aptitude for troubleshooting complex electronic systems. This role requires close collaboration with customers, engineering teams, and manufacturing partners in support of safety-critical hardware development.


What You’ll Be Doing

• Support the design and modification of electronic hardware and printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) for defense applications.
• Perform schematic capture, PCB layout, component selection, and design documentation.
• Develop, assemble, integrate, and debug hardware prototypes.
• Support coordination with contract manufacturers throughout PCB fabrication, component procurement, assembly, and production activities.
• Prepare hardware build documentation, component kits, and technical requirements for manufacturing.
• Perform electrical checkout, troubleshooting, verification, and acceptance testing of completed hardware.
• Utilize laboratory test equipment, including oscilloscopes, power supplies, digital multimeters, and related instrumentation, to characterize and troubleshoot hardware.
• Support hardware qualification and environmental test activities throughout the development lifecycle.
• Provide engineering support for government range and live-fire test activities.
• Support the development of test equipment, fixtures, and hardware emulators for system verification and validation.
• Maintain design documentation, configuration control, and traceability for safety-critical hardware.
• Conduct technical analyses, document test results, and contribute to engineering reports and briefings.
• Support presentation of design, test, and technical status to customers, engineering teams, and technical or safety review boards.
• Collaborate effectively within multidisciplinary engineering teams.

What Required Skills You’ll Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related engineering discipline.
• 2–5 years of relevant electrical engineering experience with an emphasis on hardware design and development.
• Demonstrated experience with printed circuit board design, including schematic capture and PCB layout.
• Strong hands-on hardware troubleshooting and debugging capabilities.
• Proficiency with standard electrical laboratory equipment, including oscilloscopes, power supplies, and digital multimeters.
• Ability to interpret and develop electrical schematics, technical drawings, specifications, and test documentation.
• Strong attention to detail.
• Ability to work effectively within multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to work on-site with customers in Huntsville, AL and support off-site test activities as required.
• U.S. Citizenship.
• Active DoD Secret clearance or ability to obtain and maintain a Secret clearance.

What Desired Skills You’ll Bring

• Experience supporting hardware through the design, prototype, fabrication, integration, debug, and test lifecycle.
• Experience coordinating with PCB fabricators, contract manufacturers, and component suppliers.
• Experience supporting DoD weapon systems or other complex defense systems.
• Experience designing and developing test hardware, test fixtures, or hardware emulators.
• Proficiency with Altium Designer or comparable PCB design tools.
• Experience with embedded hardware development.
• Firmware and/or software development experience.
• Hands-on soldering experience or applicable soldering certification.
