Job description

About the Role: We are seeking a talented Digital Hardware Engineer to join our team and contribute to the development of next-generation embedded digital hardware for Software Defined Radios (SDR) and related accessories. In this role, you will take ownership of the full hardware lifecycle—from high-level conceptual design to manufacturing and field deployment—while collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure high-performance, reliable communication systems. Key Responsibilities: • High-Speed Digital Protocols: Design and integrate embedded microprocessors, ARM cores, DDR memory interfaces, and high-bandwidth USB and Ethernet. • Design Simulation & Analysis: Use tools such as LTSpice, HyperLynx, and MATLAB for circuit and system-level modeling. • Advanced Architecture & PCB Design: Lead full design cycles including requirement analysis, schematic capture (Mentor VX/Designer), and high-speed layout analysis. • Verification & Validation: Execute subsystem and system-level test plans using lab equipment to detect and resolve hardware defects. • Compliance & Reliability: Ensure designs meet MIL-STD-461 (EMI/EMC) and IPC standards for high-reliability environments. • Collaborate with software teams for embedded SW/VHDL integration and automation. • Apply systems thinking to optimize interactions between digital design, thermal management, and software latency. Qualifications: • Bachelors degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering or related field. • 6+ years of relevant experience (or 10+ years without a degree in Digital Design). • Ability to obtain and maintain a US Security Clearance. Preferred Skills: • Experience with Software Defined Radio (SDR) architectures and RF interactions. • Proficiency in embedded software, scripting (Python), or VHDL for design automation. • Familiarity with Agile PLM and configuration/lifecycle management tools. • Knowledge of Boundary Scan (JTAG) for high-density PCBA testing. Work Schedule: • 9/80 schedule: 9 out of every 14 days (80 hours total) with every other Friday off. Benefits: • Health, disability, and life insurance • Employee Assistance Program (EAP) • Parental leave and paid time off • Company-paid holidays • Relocation assistance available Candidate Requirements: • Must be eligible for a US Security Clearance • No visa sponsorship available
