Hardware Designer (Future Opportunities)

What you'll do

• Work in a cross-functional development team where continuous improvement, innovation, and knowledge sharing are part of daily work.
• Perform full-cycle hardware development including requirement analysis, block diagrams, schematic capture, and generating design specifications.
• Collaborate closely with the PCB layout team to produce high-quality, reliable boards that meet performance, manufacturability, and testability requirements.
• Execute designer verification activities, including writing and running test plans, analyzing results, and ensuring compliance with industry and military standards.
• Participate in EMC/EMI investigations, root-cause debugging, and mitigation planning throughout the development lifecycle.
• Support project scheduling, cost estimation, and risk identification while ensuring successful integration, DFT, DFM, and system-level validation.

What you'll need to get the job done

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering, Telecommunication, or a related discipline.
• Experience in military or avionics hardware development, including knowledge of MIL-STD design practices and/or MIL-STD-461 or DO-160 Sections 17–23 for EMC/EMI qualification.
• Strong understanding of analog and digital circuit design, including power supplies, signal conditioning, ADC/DAC conversion, and sensors.
• Proficiency with microcontrollers, memory interfaces, and embedded hardware architecture.
• Experience with high-speed interfaces and serial communication protocols such as USB, SPI, I2C, Ethernet, LVDS, PCIe, etc.
• Ability to capture schematics, review datasheets, and work collaboratively with engineers across disciplines.
• Competence in EMC/EMI testing, troubleshooting, and implementing design-level mitigations (filters, shielding, grounding strategies).
• Familiarity with constraints management and coordinating PCB layout activities to ensure electrical and mechanical performance.
• Hands-on experience using standard lab equipment and Designer Verification techniques.
• Ability to drive issues to closure, work methodically, and participate in structured design and technical reviews.

What will make us REALLY love you

• A friendly willingness to collaborate, share knowledge, and communicate effectively with cross-functional teams.
• A clear passion for project-based work, continuous learning, and staying at the top of your technical game.
• Experience designing for aerospace, defense, or avionics programs, especially under regulated environments.
• Familiarity with ruggedized or mission-critical hardware design practices.
• Active Secret security clearance—or the ability to obtain one (eligibility required).
