• Support hardware builds by testing and troubleshooting failures.
• Create and maintain engineering technical drawings and documentation.
• Author test plans and reports related to product performance and safety.
• Lead or assist formal failure investigations using structured tools (8D, Fishbone, Cause & Effect, etc.).
• Provide technical support for legacy production programs.
• Help mentor co-ops and less-experienced engineers.
• Multi-task across several projects simultaneously.

Qualifications:

• BSEE/CompE + 4 years of related experience, MSEE/CompE + 2 years of related experience, or in lieu of a degree, a minimum of 8 years of related experience.
• 3+ years of experience designing analog circuits utilizing op amps, comparators, filters, differential amplifiers, data converters, etc.
• 3+ years of experience designing digital circuits utilizing logic gates, flip flops, counters, multiplexers, timers, etc.
• 2+ years of experience with board-level power architecture design, power conditioning and power conversion using linear and switching topologies.
• 2+ years of experience with interface circuits and serial communication buses including UART, SPI, and I2C.
• 2+ years of experience with various sensor types (temperature sensors, acceleromters, differential pressure sensors, gyroscopes, etc.).
• 2+ years of experience with circuit protection techniques (e.g. overvoltage, reverse voltage, short circuit, ESD, EMI, etc.).
• 3+ years of experience with module design including component selection, circuit design and analysis, and board layout.
• 3+ years of experience with schematic capture and board layout utilities (Altium, PADS, etc.).
• 3+ years of experience in troubleshooting using standard lab equipment (oscilloscopes, function generators, meters, etc.).
• 3+ years of experience with modeling and simulation utilities (LTSpice, MATLAB, Simulink, etc.).
• 3+ years of experience in creating technical diagrams, documents and drawings (Test Plans, Test Reports, Analyses, Engineering Drawings, etc.).
• 2+ years of experience with Root Cause analysis.
• Ability to obtain a government-issued Secret level clearance. 

Preferred Additional Skills:

• BSEE/CompE + 8 years experience
