We can ONLY consider your application if you have:

1: Bachelor's Degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering or a related field.
2: 6+ years of relevant experience (4+ with a Master's degree or 10+ years of experience in Digital Design w/no degree)
3: Comprehensive technical knowledge of embedded microprocessor design and integration for ARM Cores, DDR memory interfaces, and high-bandwidth USB and Ethernet.
4: Proficient use of simulation tools such as LTSpice for circuitry, HyperLynx for signal integrity, and MATLAB for system-level modeling.
5: Experience leading the full design cycle-including requirement analysis, schematic capture (using Mentor VX/DxDesigner), and complex high-speed layout analysis.
6: Expertise in executing subsystem and system-level test plans, using lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers) to identify and resolve critical hardware defects.
7: Experience designing for MIL-STD-461 (EMI/EMC) and adhering to IPC standards to ensure hardware survivability in high-reliability environments.
8: Security Clearance Eligibility: Ability to obtain and maintain a US Security Clearance.

9: Able to work a 9/80 workweek.

We are looking for an outstanding Digital Hardware Engineer and play a critical role in advancing the next generation of embedded digital hardware supporting the company's Software Defined Radios (SDR) and accessories.
This person will take ownership of the full hardware lifecycle-from conceptualizing high-level requirements to seeing designs move through manufacturing and into the field.
This is an opportunity to solve complex integration challenges within a cross-functional environment, ensuring our communication systems meet the highest performance standards.

DESIRED (not required) SKILLS:

:: Specialized Knowledge: Familiarity with SDR architectures, embedded SW/VHDL, and configuration management tools like Agile.
:: SDR & RF Architecture Mastery: A nuanced understanding of Software Defined Radio (SDR) architectures and the interaction between digital boards and RF circuitry.
:: Hardware-Software Integration: Experience using embedded software, scripting (e.g., Python), or VHDL to automate design analysis and facilitate rapid troubleshooting.
:: Configuration & Lifecycle Management: Proficiency with Agile PLM software to manage product data and streamline manufacturing introduction.
:: Diagnostic Tool Proficiency: Familiarity with Boundary Scan tools (JTAG) for testing high-density PCBAs where physical probe access is limited.
:: Systems Thinking: The ability to visualize cross-disciplinary impacts, such as how digital design choices affect thermal management or software latency.
