Job Title: Electrical Hardware Engineer

Job Description

The Electrical Hardware Engineer will play a crucial role in supporting the radar sustainment and modernization efforts as part of the Combat System. This role involves designing, developing, integrating, and providing lifecycle support for complex electronic hardware systems, enabling long-range air and missile defense capabilities aboard. The engineer will engage in full system architecture tasks-from circuit board-level design to subsystem and full radar system integration-ensuring mission readiness of legacy radar platforms expected to remain in service for decades. The position operates within a high-reliability, mission-critical defense environment, working alongside multidisciplinary engineering teams, government stakeholders, and depot-level sustainment operations.

Responsibilities

Lead and execute the detailed design of test control systems, instrumentation, and electronic hardware supporting radar subsystem sustainment, including transmitters, signal processors, and antenna arrays.

Develop schematics, wiring diagrams, and technical data packages to support fabrication, integration, and field-level maintenance.

Perform component selection, circuit design, and board-level layout reviews, ensuring compliance with military and industry standards such as MIL-STD and IPC.

Support reverse engineering and obsolescence mitigation efforts for legacy electronics to extend system lifecycle and maintain operational availability.

Contribute to configuration management, documentation control, and engineering change processes.

Collaborate with manufacturing and operations teams to improve test efficiency, repair turnaround time, and system reliability metrics.

Develop and execute test plans, procedures, and verification protocols aligned with system requirements and Navy validation standards.

Support integration of radar subsystems into lab, depot, and shipboard environments, ensuring compatibility across hardware, software, and platform interfaces.

Troubleshoot and resolve complex system-level issues, including signal integrity, power distribution, RF interactions, and interface failures.

Essential Skills

Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.

5+ years of experience with circuit design (mixed signal).

Experience in designing and developing electrical schematics.

Ability to develop test requirements, plans, and procedures for electronic hardware systems.

Proficiency with ECAD software such as Altium and Cadence for PCB design and analysis.

Experience with the Aegis Combat System.

Must be willing to obtain secret level security clearance.
