CHAOS is seeking a Staff Electrical Engineer with expertise in digital circuit design and signal integrity analysis to lead the design and integration of high-reliability digital electronics for aerospace and military applications.

This role spans the full product lifecycle, from requirements definition and architecture trades through schematic design, layout guidance, analysis, board bring-up, verification, production support, and field testing of mission-critical systems.

The ideal candidate is a digital circuit designer with strong hands-on board design experience, practical signal integrity and power integrity judgment, and the ability to coordinate complex technical tasks across FPGA, software, RF, power, mechanical, manufacturing, and test teams with little supervision.

Lead design of high-speed digital circuit cards and subsystems in accordance with customer requirements, applicable aerospace and military standards, and internal design practices

Design PCBAs involving FPGAs, processors, memory devices, data converters, clocks, high-speed serial interfaces, and mixed-signal boundaries

Contribute to digital hardware architectures, detailed schematics, stack-up recommendations, routing constraints, and design analyses for mission-critical electronics
