Electrical Engineer | Senior Digital Hardware Engineer

Schedule: 9/80 (9 out of every 14 days, totaling 80 hours, with every other Friday off). Role Overview: Join our team as a Digital Hardware Engineer. Advance embedded digital hardware for Software Defined Radios (SDR) and accessories. Report to a Senior Engineering Manager. Own the full hardware lifecycle from requirements to manufacturing and field deployment. Solve complex integration challenges in a cross-functional environment. Ensure communication systems meet high performance standards. Must be eligible for US Security Clearance.Essential Functions and Skills: Demonstrate comprehensive knowledge of embedded microprocessor design and integration for ARM Cores, DDR memory interfaces, high-bandwidth USB, and Ethernet. Use simulation tools proficiently, including LTSpice for circuitry, HyperLynx for signal integrity, and MATLAB for system-level modeling. Lead full design cycle, including requirement analysis, schematic capture with Mentor VX/DxDesigner, and complex high-speed PCB layout analysis. Execute subsystem and system-level verification and validation (V&V) test plans using lab equipment like oscilloscopes and logic analyzers to resolve hardware defects. Design for MIL-STD-461 (EMI/EMC) compliance and adhere to IPC standards for high-reliability environments. Basic Qualifications: Bachelor's Degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering or related field. 6+ years relevant experience (4+ with Master's) or 10+ years in Digital Design without degree.Preferred Skills: Familiarity with SDR architectures, embedded SW/VHDL, and Agile configuration management tools. Understanding of SDR and RF architecture interactions between digital boards and RF circuitry. Experience with embedded software, Python scripting, or VHDL for design analysis and troubleshooting. Proficiency with Agile PLM software for product data management and manufacturing introduction. Knowledge of Boundary Scan tools (JTAG) for testing high-density PCBAs. Systems thinking to assess cross-disciplinary impacts like thermal management and software latency.
