Job Overview

We are seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer with strong PCB schematic and layout expertise to join our engineering team. In this role, you will take ownership of fast-paced board-level design from concept through production, working on high-reliability systems for demanding environments. Prior experience in the defense, aerospace, automotive or marine industries is highly desirable.

You will collaborate cross-functionally with other electrical, firmware/software, mechanical, and manufacturing/quality teams to design, validate, and deliver robust electronic solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Primarily digital and power-based designs, but analog design is a possibility.

• Own the entire PCB design lifecycle, including requirements, major component selection, block diagrams, schematic, circuit analysis, placement, routing, DFA/DFM review, prototype testing, and documentation.

• Create and maintain BOMs, design files, netlists, and manufacturing documentation.

• Work closely with mechanical engineers to integrate PCBs into enclosures and assemblies.

• Lead or support prototype bring-up, debugging, and testing with support from the firmware/software teams (Capability to write firmware/software for bring-up is a plus).

• Perform signal integrity, power budgeting, and thermal analysis as needed.

• Review and optimize designs for EMC/EMI compliance and environmental robustness.

• Interface with fabrication and assembly vendors, addressing build issues and driving quality improvements.

• Participate and cross-collaborate in design reviews and peer reviews to ensure high standards.

• Contribute to and improve engineering processes, libraries, and design guidelines.

• Support ITAR/export compliance and follow relevant standards such as MIL-STD’s, IPC-610/6012, etc.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.

• 3+ years of professional experience in PCB schematic and layout design.

• Proficiency with Altium Designer (or other equivalent EDA tools).

• Experience with multi-layer board design and high-speed or mixed-signal circuitry.

• Strong understanding of electronic components, circuit theory, and board-level design principles.

• Ability to interpret datasheets, standards, and mechanical constraints.

• Proven experience with design for manufacturing (DFM) and design for test (DFT).

• Excellent problem-solving, documentation, and communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in defense, aerospace, or other safety/mission-critical industries.

• Familiarity with ruggedized systems, high-temperature settings, water-intrusion protection, and other environmental requirements.

• Knowledge of MIL-STD, IPC standards, or similar frameworks.

• Experience with SPICE simulations, Signal Integrity Analysis, or reliability engineering.

• Ability to work with firmware, FPGA, or embedded teams.

• Active or previous security clearance (or ability to obtain one).

• Ownership mentality and attention to detail.

• Ability to work both independently and in multidisciplinary teams.

• Strong organizational and time management skills.

• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, product-focused environment.
