About the Job

Requirements

  • Knowledge of electronics, including digital design, analog control, power distribution, signal integrity, data, and video.
  • A bachelor's degree and at least 8 years of prior relevant experience, or a graduate degree and at least 6 years of prior related experience; alternatively, at least 14 years of prior related experience in lieu of a degree.
  • Ability to obtain a U.S. security clearance.

Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, evaluate, integrate, and test electronic equipment, parts, components, and circuitry for complex, high-performance systems.
  • Decompose and allocate system- and box-level requirements to electronic specifications.
  • Review product specifications and generate system- and module-level block diagrams, flow diagrams, and design concepts.
  • Design and develop custom production test equipment hardware and software.
  • Analyze electrical requirements to determine the feasibility of designs within time and cost constraints.
  • Select components and equipment based on analysis of specifications and reliability.
  • Diagnose complex faults in existing systems and recommend design changes to improve performance.
  • Review vendor capability to support development, including specialized components such as connectors, processors, FPGAs, DSPs, CCAs, power supplies, and amplifiers.
  • Work with procurement and suppliers to build prototype wire harnesses and circuit boards.
  • Perform unit testing of hardware products.
  • Work with other functional areas to develop requirements, specifications, and test plans.
  • Provide timely production support and problem resolution.
  • Follow internal processes to ensure conformance to established policies and procedures.
  • Work on a cross-functional team to design, develop, integrate, and test embedded controls for airborne imaging systems, and to develop, test, and produce EO/IR solutions.
  • Work with cross-functional members of the engineering organization to develop and evaluate hardware/software interfaces, operational performance requirements, and overall system design.

Desired Qualifications

  • Significant knowledge of circuit design, schematic capture, and printed circuit board layout using ECAD tools; Altium is preferred.
  • Experience in wire harness assembly development.
  • Experience in board and system bring-up, integration, validation, and troubleshooting.
  • Experience analyzing and designing digital circuits that incorporate FPGAs, CPUs, GPUs, and DSPs.
  • Experience using a high-level programming language to configure programmable logic devices, including DSPs and FPGAs.
  • Experience in analog design, including motor drivers, power circuits, EMC/EMI noise reduction, and motion control methods.
  • Software development for test applications using C/C++, Python, or LabVIEW.
  • Understanding of EMI/RFI and corresponding troubleshooting and design corrections or mitigations.
  • Understanding of the hardware development process, documentation, quality assurance, board turn-on, and debug integration testing.
  • Experience with control protocols such as I2C, SPI, RS-232/422, and ARINC 818.
  • Experience with high-speed serial protocols such as PCI Express, SRIO, and Ethernet.
  • Experience designing 10G Ethernet-based network interface designs.
  • Experience with network protocols including IPv6 and UDP.
  • Experience with SoCs, including Kintex UltraScale/UltraScale+, Virtex UltraScale/UltraScale+, and Zynq UltraScale.
  • Understanding of image processing and image acquisition in a real-time environment.
