  • At least 5 years of experience designing with basic digital building blocks, including logic gates, flip-flops, timers, and filters.
  • At least 4 years of experience with power conversion concepts, including AC/DC, DC/DC, and DC/AC conversion, and linear and switching supplies.
  • At least 5 years of experience troubleshooting using standard laboratory equipment, including oscilloscopes, function generators, and meters.
  • At least 4 years of experience with schematic capture and/or board layout utilities, such as Altium or PADS.
  • At least 4 years of experience leading a large-scale technical project from start to completion with minimal guidance.
  • At least 4 years of experience preparing and participating in internal and external design reviews.
  • At least 4 years of experience creating technical documentation, including test plans, test reports, and drawings.
  • Ability to obtain a Secret clearance.

Responsibilities

  • Design analog and digital ruggedized electronics for ordnance applications.
  • Perform circuit tolerance analyses using hand calculations and SPICE tools.
  • Develop, refine, and ensure compliance with requirements.
  • Generate test plans and test reports related to product performance, including brassboard, design verification, qualification, and firing properties.
  • Lead and direct test activities throughout all phases of the product development cycle.
  • Lead failure investigations using structured tools, including 8D, fishbone, and cause-and-effect analysis.
  • Generate materials for and lead design reviews throughout all phases of the product development cycle.
  • Act as the primary technical interface for internal and external customers.
  • Provide material and labor estimates for requests for proposals.
  • Generate engineering orders and engineering change proposals.
  • Mentor electrical engineering staff.
  • Lead and multitask across several projects simultaneously.

Desired Qualifications

  • At least 4 years of experience with temperature sensors, MEMS accelerometers, differential pressure sensors, and gyroscopes.
  • At least 5 years of experience with serial communication buses, including UART, SPI, and I2C.
  • At least 5 years of experience with root-cause analysis.
  • At least 4 years of experience with general design best practices, including EMI suppression, ESD protection, and short-circuit protection.
  • At least 5 years of experience with power supply and power conditioning design.
  • At least 5 years of experience designing electronic safety and arming devices (ESADs) and ignition safety devices in accordance with MIL-STD-1316 and MIL-STD-1901A.
  • At least 5 years of experience presenting ESAD, ESAF, and ISD designs to safety review boards, including AFSRB, FISTRP, and NNMSB.
  • At least 3 years of experience with energetic materials interfacing and testing, including EFDIs, LEEFIs, lead charges, and boosters.
  • At least 5 years of experience designing for extreme environments, including vibration, shock, temperature, and temperature and humidity.
