What will you do?
Azure Summit Technology is currently seeking a Senior Digital Electronics Design Engineer. The selected candidate will be part of a dynamic, growing, cross-functional, and geographically distributed team. This position is located on-site at our Melbourne, FL, facility, with overnight travel to Fairfax, Virginia, Baltimore, Maryland, and other locations as needed. Your future team has worked together to produce the following job description:
The Senior Digital Electronics Design Engineer will play a critical role in the design, development, and testing of Azure's complex PCBs and PCBAs. This individual will work with design engineering, Firmware engineering, software engineering, and various vendors in the design, development, and testing of complex RF and mixed signal circuit boards from prototype to full-rate production.
Responsibilities for this job may include:

• Ability to Architect the digital electronics portion of any new PCB design, based on requirements, which involves selection of major digital components i.e. processors, FPGAs, microcontrollers, data-converters, memory devices, etc... and capturing on block diagram. In schematic capture phase, candidate must also be able to select the lower-level digital components and capture them on a schematic.
• Perform electronics circuit card designs using electrical design and analysis tools including but not limited to: block diagram, schematic capture, circuit simulations, and be responsible for guiding PCB layout and verifying final design before release. Knowledge of Cadence OrCAD schematic capture and Allegro layout preferred.
• Candidate must have experience designing in and creating large digital BGA schematic symbols for high pin count components. For example, use of pin files (or equivalent) for the import into schematic capture to create multi-instance large digital BGA devices in the schematic.
• Candidate must be able to ascertain timing requirements and have experience using pin delay files from BGA vendor for the establishment of data and clock length matching in layout.
• Creation of firmware Interface Control Document (ICDs) based on the digital interfaces on the schematic.
• Write low level firmware for board level controls via FPGA and/or microcontroller in VHDL and/or C/C .
• Ability to control devices using various electronics components on PCBA with various interfaces such as: SPI, I2C, UART, Parallel, etc... and be able to assist in the debug of these interfaces via ability to read and write individual registers of a particular electronics device. Finally, use of oscilloscope and/or logic analyzer in the debug of such device control interfaces.
• Work with RF engineer in the control of RF devices for testing and debug.
• Experience with Digital RF (i.e. high-speed data converters, FFTs, Nyquist, etc...) is a plus.
• Experience with Xilinx (and Vivado tool) and Microsemi Tool suites is a plus.
• Ability to work in multi-disciplinary cross-functional team i.e. Work with higher level software and firmware engineers, RF engineers, and systems engineers.
• Work with software and test engineers on the development of automated test code (ATP).

Basic Requirements

• ship, due to the nature of the work and contract requirement
• Ability and willingness to obtain a TOP SECRET security clearance, due to contract requirement
• 15 years of electronics design experience
• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, mechanical engineering, or another relevant field

Preferred Qualifications

• Programming Languages (one or more): VHDL, C, C , Python.
• Excellent written and verbal communication.
• Computer proficiency in Microsoft Office and related applications.
