• Minimum of 5 years of relevant experience in board-level electronics design, analysis, and test
• Significant experience designing electronics with rigor in teams that value thorough analysis and testing
• Expertise in digital and mixed-signal electronics, such as signal integrity, FPGA implementation, ADCs/DACs, and telemetry subsystems
• Experience owning the design phase of complex board-level electronics, including trade studies, key part selection, and detailed design
• Experience delivering hardware designs through production and deployment
• Expertise in PCB layout, including high-density interconnect (HDI) stackup design and high-speed routing
• Experience running board-level signal integrity and/or power integrity simulation tools such as Ansys SIwave, ADS SIPro, or Mentor Hyperlynx
• Proven success in debugging, root cause analysis, and design reviews
• Depth in point-of-load power converter design for digital boards
• Strong working knowledge of adjacent fields, such as software and mechanical, that guides hardware design and system design
• Extensive lab experience for bring-up and verification of new hardware

Preferred Experience

• Familiarity with EMI/EMC concepts and design to mitigate these effects
• Understanding of Military and/or DO specifications
• Experience with design qualification
• Experience leading small teams of hardware engineers to develop multi-module assemblies, including hardware architecture, requirements, make/buy decisions, and interconnects
• Aerospace design experience
