Job description

Seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer for a leading national provider of federal defense drones, security drones, and public safety drones. This is a hands-on, onsite role focused on PCB design and power electronics for drone systems and ground stations. The engineer owns the full design lifecycle: schematic capture, layout, DFM, test, and production. The position is 100% onsite in Sanford, FL and our client is looking to onboard on a Direct Hire as soon as possible. Responsibilities: - Develop high-power and control electronics for high-performance multi-rotor drone systems from initial concept through production - All aspects of PCB Design (schematic capture, layout, manufacturing, test) - All aspects of electronics documentation (design, manufacturing, test) - Electronics failure analysis and mitigation - Interface with technicians to provide electronic assembly and test assistance - Contribute to product roadmap (new features and / or new products) - Interface with contract manufacturers to facilitate the timely manufacturing of quality electronic subassemblies Required Skills - Must be US Citizen due to gov't requirement - Bachelor-s degree in Electrical Engineering (or comparable) - 7-10 years of PCB design software experience; preferred tools are Altium Designer, but familiarity with any PCB design software is acceptable - Complex board design, RF systems, or power design - Substantial, independent, PCB design experience - Any combination of test, analog, RF/461, high-speed design experience Strong Preferences: - High-speed design experience is a highly desired (almost a non-negotiable): USB, Ethernet, DDR memory, microcontrollers, microprocessors, FPGAs, or similar - Full lifecycle experience from concept through production; concept through prototype is the higher priority if a candidate doesn't cover the full range - RF/EMI experience, ideally MIL-STD-461 - Background in defense, aerospace, UAS, or robotics; domain is flexible if board complexity is there - Power electronics design experience is valued but not a substitute for PCB design depth Other Qualifications and Competencies: - Proven track record of success in product development - Thrives in a high-tempo environment and able to rapidly shift focus with company priorities - Displays strong initiative and drive to accomplish goals and meet company objectives - Takes ownership and responsibility for current and past work products - Is committed to learning from mistakes and driven to improve and enhance the performance of oneself, others, and the company - Has effective problem-solving, analytical, interpersonal, and communication skills (written and verbal) - Focuses on teamwork, collaboration, and puts the success of the team above all else
