Sr Electrical Design Engineer

Description

We are looking for a Sr Electrical Design Engineer to support advanced aerospace electronics development in Clearwater, Florida. This position focuses on circuit board design, troubleshooting, and verification for avionics-related products, with a strong emphasis on engineering rigor and compliance-driven development practices. The role combines hands-on technical analysis with documentation, test support, and collaboration across engineering, suppliers, and manufacturing teams.

Responsibilities:

Develop analog and digital circuit board designs by interpreting technical requirements, selecting components, creating schematics, and supporting layout activities for aerospace applications.

Perform board-level analysis and simulation to confirm performance, functionality, and alignment with product design objectives.

Troubleshoot circuit board issues by isolating hardware faults, conducting root cause analysis, and recommending effective corrective actions.

Support system-level integration efforts to verify that assembled boards operate correctly within the intended avionics platform.

Review PCB layouts using industry-standard design tools such as Altium or Allegro and provide feedback to improve manufacturability and performance.

Partner with internal manufacturing teams to assist with production testing, resolve technical issues on the floor, and strengthen test readiness.

Create and maintain engineering documentation, including schematics, design records, and board-level test procedures.

Research replacement parts and alternate components when materials become obsolete, ensuring continued product support and compliance.

Contribute to structured development activities aligned with aerospace design assurance expectations, including DO-178C and DO-254 considerations.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a closely related engineering discipline.
At least 7 years of experience in circuit board design, preferably within aerospace or another highly regulated electronics environment.
Background in designing and interpreting schematics, PCB layouts, and board-level hardware for complex electronic products.
Experience troubleshooting circuit boards and identifying hardware-related failures through disciplined root cause analysis.
Familiarity with aerospace standards and regulatory frameworks, including DO-254 and DO-178B/DO-178C.
Knowledge of aerospace data and power bus architectures, microprocessor-based designs, and avionics-related hardware concepts.
Strong analytical, written, and verbal communication skills, with the ability to share technical findings clearly.
Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications and standard engineering documentation practices.
