We are looking for an outstanding Digital Hardware Engineer to play a critical role in advancing the next generation of embedded digital hardware supporting the company's Software Defined Radios (SDR) and accessories.

Reporting to a Senior Engineering Manager, 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.

:: 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.
:: Familiarity with Boundary Scan tools (JTAG) for testing high-density PCBAs where physical probe access is limited.

Duties and Responsibilities
== High-Speed Digital Protocols: Comprehensive technical knowledge of embedded microprocessor design and integration for ARM Cores, DDR memory interfaces, and high-bandwidth USB and Ethernet.
== Design Simulation & Analysis: Proficient use of simulation tools such as LTSpice for circuitry, HyperLynx for signal integrity, and MATLAB for system-level modeling.
== Advanced Architecture & PCB Design: Proven ability to lead the full design cycle-including requirement analysis, schematic capture (using Mentor VX/Designer), and complex high-speed layout analysis.
== Verification & Validation (V&V): Expertise in executing subsystem and system-level test plans, using lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers) to identify and resolve critical hardware defects.
== Compliance & Reliability Engineering: Experience designing for MIL-STD-461 (EMI/EMC) and adhering to IPC standards to ensure hardware survivability in high-reliability environments.
== Security Clearance Eligibility: Ability to obtain and maintain a US Security Clearance.
