The ideal candidate will have strong circuit design skills and experience designing robust onboard electronics in a highly regulated industry.
Responsibilities:
- Design and test digital processor circuits to interface with pressure sensors, magnetometers, gyros, accelerometers and other sensors.
- Planning of system architectures including functional partitions and interfaces.
- Technology selections and documentation of detailed device specifications.
- Integration of mechanical and electrical components into a PCB.
- Writing requirements, specifications, and verification tests of system hardware.
- Design, fabricate, and test CPU, GPU, Data-bus, memory, and FPGA interfaces.
- Manufacturing and field problem resolution.
- Component engineering, lifecycle support, and continuous product improvement.
- To work as part of a team helping support the technical efforts of other engineers, designers, technicians, and departments.
- Application of professional ethics and judgement in developing safety of flight/life critical equipment.
Qualifications:
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Excellent organizational and time management skills.
- Circuit Design and Simulation experience.
- Experience with serial communication busses (CAN, RS422, RS485, A429, etc.).
- Experience designing embedded systems that include: microprocessors, memory, programmable logic, RF, mixed signal, analog, and general purpose electrical circuits.
- Experience with switching DC power supply design and troubleshooting.
- Experience with digital, analog, and RF test equipment.
- Extensive experience with schematic capture software (Altium, Cadence, etc.).
- Knowledge of modern PCB production technologies and methods.
Education & Experience:
- BSEE from an ABET accredited engineering program.
- Experience as an Electrical Engineer designing robust, embedded electronic systems.
Other Desirable Experience:
- RF Circuit Design
- Altium Designer Training/Experience
- Experience in the design of highly reliability, safety critical equipment (i.e., military, avionics, clinical-medical or similar devices)
- Familiarity with Environmental Testing (i.e., MIL-STD-810 or DO-160)
- Experience developing test software in LabView
- Pilot's license, flight training, or familiarity with general aviation
