Requirements

Demonstrated technical leadership of complex high-speed digital hardware

Strong understanding of digital design fundamentals, including timing, clocking, controlled impedance, signal integrity, power integrity, grounding, decoupling, and return-path management

Extensive experience with digital board design involving FPGAs, processors, memory devices, high-speed data converters, and board-level communication interfaces

Experience setting PCB layout strategy and design review criteria for high-speed digital, mixed-signal, and high-reliability electronics

Hands-on experience leading board bring-up, system integration, troubleshooting, verification, qualification, production transition, and failure analysis activities

Demonstrated ability to set technical direction and lead engineers through ambiguous, cross-disciplinary hardware challenges

Responsibilities

Principal Electrical Engineer with expertise in digital circuit design and signal integrity analysis to serve as a technical authority for high-reliability digital electronics used in aerospace and military applications.

This role spans the full product lifecycle, from early architecture and requirements shaping through detailed design, analysis, verification, production support, and fielded system sustainment.

The ideal candidate is a senior digital hardware technical authority with deep high-speed board design, signal integrity, and power integrity expertise; a track record of setting design direction across programs; and the ability to guide cross-disciplinary teams through ambiguous, high-consequence hardware challenges.

Act as a technical authority for high-speed digital circuit design, signal integrity, and power integrity across multiple programs or product lines

Lead design and review of complex PCBAs involving FPGAs, processors, memory devices, data converters, clocks, high-speed serial interfaces, and mixed-signal boundaries

Lead digital hardware architecture trades and define design approaches that satisfy system performance, schedule, manufacturability, reliability, and qualification requirements
