Analog Circuit Design Engineer

Position Summary

We are seeking an Analog Circuit Design Engineer to join a hardware development team. This role is responsible for hands-on design and validation of electronics used in safety-critical aerospace applications. The engineer will lead projects from initial concept through production release, developing board-level analog and mixed-signal circuitry integrated with embedded processing elements. This position is performed on-site.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect, design, and analyze analog and mixed-signal circuits for aerospace-grade electronic assemblies, ensuring compliance with applicable environmental, verification, and qualification standards.
• Drive the full development cycle—from concept definition, schematic creation, and design reviews through verification, documentation, and handoff to manufacturing.
• Produce all required design artifacts including schematics, PCB layout data packages, bills of materials, and fabrication/assembly documentation using professional CAD/EDA tools.
• Oversee external PCB fabrication partners, including rigid and flexible board technologies, to ensure quality and manufacturability.
• Apply circuit modeling and simulation tools (e.g., SPICE-based platforms) to analyze and validate analog performance.
• Support test system development and verification activities using common programming languages (Assembler, C/C , Python, LabVIEW).
• Generate technical documentation in accordance with internal quality and development processes, such as design requirements, verification procedures, qualification reports, and change records.
• Provide ongoing engineering support for both new designs and legacy hardware.

Additional Responsibilities

• Collaborate closely with cross-disciplinary peers, including embedded software and mechanical design engineers, to ensure system-level integration and performance.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related discipline.
• At least 5 years of experience specifically in analog circuit design, simulation, troubleshooting, and validation within products that incorporate embedded electronics or microcontroller-based architectures.
• Proficiency using laboratory instrumentation such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, signal or function generators, spectrum analyzers, power supplies, and electronic loads.
• Experience with professional CAD/EDA platforms (e.g., ORCAD, KiCAD, AutoCAD).
• Working knowledge of common digital communication interfaces (Ethernet, RS-232, RS-485, CAN, ARINC-style buses).
• Strong ability to interpret and explain datasheets, component specifications, and system requirements.
• Effective communication skills and the initiative to independently expand technical competencies.
• Detail-oriented mindset with strong organizational habits and the ability to meet schedule commitments.
• Must be able to successfully complete background screening and drug testing.

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with aerospace and defense hardware development standards (e.g., DO-254, DO-160, DO-178C, MIL-STD-461).
• Understanding of hardware design assurance (DAL A/B/C) processes under relevant airborne electronics guidelines.
• Experience with automated test development using Python, C/C#, LabVIEW, or TestStand.
• Background in EMI/EMC troubleshooting and compliance resolution.
• Prior work in avionics, transportation electronics, or other regulated hardware environments.
