Job Summary
This is a hands-on board-level hardware design role within SlingWorks, one of Elbit America's most advanced and specialized engineering teams it will also focus on targeting and next-generation mission systems

You will design and integrate PCBAs, working with processors, FPGAs (integration only), sensors, and high-speed interfaces. This is a practical, lab-driven role with direct ownership of hardware from concept through bring-up, validation, and transition to production.

What You'll Be Doing
Design board-level hardware including schematic capture, component selection, and interface definition
Integrate processors, sensors, and interface subsystems into cohesive board-level designs
Integrate FPGAs at the system and interface level (no FPGA logic or RTL design)
Partner with PCB layout to ensure signal integrity, manufacturability, and overall performance
Perform board bring-up, debug, and validation in a lab environment
Develop and execute test and debug approaches to validate hardware performance
Troubleshoot hardware issues across prototype and production builds
Design for size, weight, and power (SWaP)-constrained systems
Implement power management and low-voltage power distribution
Collaborate with mechanical, systems, and embedded software teams on full system integration
Participate in design reviews and contribute to architecture and trade studies
Support transition from prototype to production including DFM/DFT considerations and manufacturing support
Perform basic design analysis and support simulation activities as needed

Primary Focus of the Role
Board-level hardware design and integration
Lab bring-up, debug, and validation

Secondary (as needed)
Power design support
Manufacturing and test support
System-level trade input

What This Role Is (and Is Not)
This is a hands-on hardware design role focused on board-level development
You will work with FPGAs at the system and interface level - not design FPGA code or RTL
This is not a coordination-only or documentation-heavy position
This role is centered on hands-on board-level hardware design. Candidates with strong hands-on experience in one or more applicable areas, including schematic and board design, power management, design analysis, DFM/DFT and manufacturing support, lab bring-up, testing, troubleshooting, or subsystem integration, are encouraged to apply.

Required Qualifications:

• A bachelor's degree in electrical or Electronic Engineering and at least 5 years of relevant experience in the industry (defense/government contractor experience preferred but not required)
• Experience with one of the following: Mentor Graphics, Cadence, and/or Altium
• Ability to travel 10%
• Ability to obtain a Secret Clearance

Tools & Environment
Experience with PCB design tools such as Altium, Cadence, or Mentor (any one)
Lab-based work including hardware bring-up, debug, and test
Familiarity with signal integrity / power integrity (SI/PI) and high-speed design practices is a plus
Experience with ruggedized or mission-critical systems is a plus

Why This Role
Work on advanced, low-SWaP systems that go into real-world deployed applications
Smaller engineering teams with direct ownership and technical visibility
Focus on practical hardware challenges, not incremental maintenance work
Opportunity to contribute within a highly specialized, advanced engineering environment
