Desirable

• We are looking to add a Senior Electronics Engineer II to our team
• At the Senior II level, you will be tasked with full-stack hardware development for complex modules and small systems
• You will have the opportunity to start at concept development and progress through detailed design, analysis, layout, build, test, and delivery, doing hands-on work at each phase
• The Senior II level also introduces technical leadership opportunities, gaining responsibility for small teams of hardware engineers developing new products and systems
• At a small company and a startup, your work will make direct contributions to the success of the business. The work is challenging and impactful, requiring both breadth and depth of technical knowledge
• Our products are made for high-reliability space and airborne applications, so designs require high levels of technical rigor while maintaining the agility of a startup environment
• The successful candidate will also present engineering design review materials to our customers and executive team
• Own end-to-end design of complex electronics modules and small systems, from concept and architecture through schematic, layout, test, and production. Products may include high-speed digital, power electronics, and RF
• Lead small teams of hardware engineers to develop new products with multiple electronics modules
• Develop hardware architecture and write hardware requirements for systems of moderate complexity
• Perform detailed and complete schematic design for complex boards, ranging from key components to supporting passives
• Perform detailed PCB layout in Altium Designer for complex boards, sometimes working with a PCB Drafter
• Complete analysis such as worst-case circuit analysis, signal integrity analysis, and power integrity analysis, and guide interpretation of results
• Develop bring-up plans and design verification plans for new hardware and systems
• Perform bring-up and key verification testing of modules and small integrated systems, often working with a technician to complete validation
• Release modules and small assemblies to production, working with the Manufacturing and Test Engineering teams
• Mentor junior and senior engineers to build technical understanding and professional development
• Use working knowledge of adjacent fields, such as software and mechanical, to streamline development of electronics modules and systems
