  • Perform parts selection, trade studies, and component-level design evaluations.
  • Develop hardware architectures, block diagrams, and supporting design documentation.
  • Execute schematic capture and support the physical PCB layout process.
  • Apply design constraints for complex, multi-layer circuit card assemblies.
  • Use design, analysis, and simulation tools to validate designs prior to hardware build.
  • Perform lab checkout, integration, debug, and verification using test plans and lab equipment.
  • Support transition of hardware designs from development into production.
  • Collaborate with software, FPGA, layout, systems, test, and production teams to resolve design and integration issues.

Required Qualifications

  • Minimum 8 years of experience in electronics circuit design and development.
  • Experience with digital electronics design for complex systems, units, or multi-assembly hardware.
  • Ability to take a design concept from requirements or block diagram level through full hardware development and verification.
  • Experience with PCB design processes, including schematic capture, layout coordination, design analysis, and simulation.
  • Background developing complex, multi-layer circuit card assemblies.
  • Experience applying PCB design constraints during circuit card development.
  • Familiarity with software or FPGA development.
