Direct Hire Full-Time Role

Pay Rate: $70 - $80 per hour

Location: Rockville, MD - Onsite Role

Job Summary:

As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you will lead the architecture, design, and implementation of critical electrical subsystems and modules for SatCom user terminals. Reporting to the Engineering Manager, you will serve as a technical authority for power supplies, GNSS integration, and network exchange modules. An ideal candidate brings a sophisticated mathematical and engineering foundation, capable of solving complex, high-stakes hardware challenges with minimal oversight. This role requires a proven track record in high-speed digital design, hands-on lab leadership, and the ability to mentor junior engineers through rigorous documentation and validation standards.

Duties and Responsibilities:

• Lead the creation and critical review of hardware design documents, ensuring block diagrams, schematics, and BOMs meet global SatCom standards.
• Drive the design and implementation of high-current switching power supplies and GNSS receiver modules using advanced microcontrollers, CPLDs, and FPGAs.
• Oversee complex simulations for signal and power integrity (SI/PI) to guarantee robust performance in high-speed environments.
• Direct board bring-up, advanced debugging, and Design Verification Testing (DVT) to ensure prototypes exceed operational requirements.
• Partner with procurement and Contract Manufacturers (CMs) to optimize DFM/DFA processes and ensure scalable production.
• Establish and maintain rigorous standards for lab notes and design documentation throughout the entire product development cycle.
• Architect Python-based test automation frameworks and integrate AI tools to revolutionize schematic generation and predictive component selection.

Requirements and Qualifications:

• Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering; Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering
• Minimum of ten (10) years of related work experience.
• Strong knowledge of microelectronics, electrical power systems, and circuit theories.
• Experience with high-speed multi-gigabit digital system design.
• Proficiency with schematic and PCB layout tools.
• Hands-on experience with lab equipment (oscilloscopes, function generators, etc.) and simulation tools like HyperLynx or PSPICE.
• Proficiency in Cadence (Allegro/OrCAD) or other ECAD software

Preferred Qualifications:

• Demonstrated experience in high-speed Ku/Ka/Q band design.
• Proven experience with DDR memory design (DDR3/DDR4/DDR5), including length matching, impedance control, and topology constraints
• Strong knowledge of various protocols, including Ethernet, SPI, LVDS, RS232, RS422, etc
• Strong knowledge of general power supply components
• Experience in FPGA design and microprocessors is a plus.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to communicate ideas with engineers, vendors, and customers
• Strong analytical and organizational skills, coupled with a well-focused details
• Proficiency in Python for engineering applications and familiarity with AI-assisted design platforms.
