Description

The Principal Electrical Engineer is responsible for specifying, designing, integrating, and testing circuit cards and modules for DOD ground and airborne applications. As a Principal Engineer, he or she must possess an expert level of understanding and wide application of technical standards, theories, principles, and concepts in some of the discipline's domains. The candidate will contribute to the development of new principles and concepts. The successful candidate manages and mitigates technical risk on projects as required to achieve the team's objectives.

Candidates must exhibit a high degree of initiative and sound judgment, working independently and as a member of the Electrical Hardware Development Team. It is essential the individual be capable of adapting to changing conditions and work cooperatively in a team environment. This role calls for someone who is accountable, self-starting, a good communicator, and raises his/her hand to help push the team forward.

The candidate will be tasked to design and develop circuit card assemblies (CCA) and modules. The Electrical Engineer should be experienced in all aspects of circuit design from concept through delivery to higher level assemblies as evidenced by successful design completions (including hardware/firmware designs with microcontrollers or microprocessors, FPGAs, memory, and industry interfaces such as PCIe, Ethernet, I2C, UART). The candidate shall have a strong and demonstrated background in general RF development principles and use of test equipment to verify components and systems such as use of Vector Network Analyzers and Spectrum Analyzers.

The position requires the candidate to specify, source, integrate, and leverage commercially available and government-sourced equipment for rapid capability proto@type delivery. The position requires the candidate to synthesize & document solutions, troubleshoot electrical design and installation errors, support Root Cause Corrective Action reports to the wider product team, and support test and delivery within the bounds of a given schedule. The candidate and team will be required to integrate aircraft power, low voltage DC control signals, ethernet, digital discrete input/output, and analog signals for the functional system. The candidate shall utilize simulation tools such as SPICE to model electronics behavior and use ADS, HFSS, or other field solvers to study operating characteristics of high speed and RF systems. The candidate shall design analog circuits to meet a set of performance requirements. The candidate shall perform component selection and schematic capture. The candidate shall guide Electronic Computer-Aided Design (ECAD) personnel through PWB layout of circuitry and technical drawing creation. The candidate shall utilize analysis tools like Mathcad and/or MATLAB to assess electrical design robustness of circuitry.

The candidate shall perform and present design reviews to program leadership and technical staff, integrate equipment into subsystems and systems, characterize equipment, and perform testing which will require a high degree of onsite presence at a minimum of three days locally, immediately. The candidate is also expected to mentor and demonstrate results of having mentored junior engineers.

The candidate must be proficient with Microsoft Office suite as routine communication will occur through Teams, OneNote, Azure DevOps, Excel, and e-mail.

Strong planning and organizational skills with ability to be adaptable to changing priorities and assignments.

Experience capturing key characteristics & requirements for systems, performing trade studies

Ability to take a design concept from the block diagram or requirements level and develop a complete hardware design leveraging COTS solutions, and verify via test

Capable of functioning in multi-disciplined design teams across multiple projects

Must have experience using SPICE (or similar), and other circuit simulation tools.

Must have experience using RF simulation tools such as Advanced Design Suite (ADS), SiWave, or High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS)

Desired Skills:

Experience using Altium Designer, or equivalent

Experience performing time domain and AC signal analysis in one of the following: LTSpice, QSpice, PSpice.

Awareness and experience of simulation environments such as MATLAB / Mathcad

Experience in the development and design of electronic circuit designs, multi-assembly system/unit design, and processor designs Team and project leadership skills

Experience with military specifications or similar (MIL-STD-1553, MIL-STD-1760, MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-704, MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-464)

Design experience with environmental and electro-magnetic interference (EMI) concerns

Experience in the development and design of electronic circuit designs, multi-assembly system/unit design, processor designs a plus

Design, analysis, and/or test experience with power converters and analog electronics
