Original job description

Job Title: Electrical Engineer Space and Security SystemsJob DescriptionThis role offers an opportunity for an Electrical Engineer to join a cutting-edge group focused on delivering innovative security and space-based solutions for government customers. You will design, develop, and test advanced digital and analog hardware, including small, high-density circuit boards used in spacecraft payloads, unique systems, and embedded applications. The position involves hands-on work in a laboratory environment, contributing to highly integrated, power-constrained electronics for small satellite and national security systems, while collaborating with a multidisciplinary team in a dynamic, startup-like setting.

Responsibilities

Design, develop, and implement digital and analog hardware, including schematic design, printed circuit board (PCB) layout, and board-level functional testing.
Create and debug small, high-density circuitry that performs sensing, digital data manipulation, and electro-mechanical control functions.
Conduct hands-on integration and test (I&T) of electronics hardware and embedded systems, using schematics, logic analyzers, and other laboratory tools as primary debugging aids.
Design, develop, implement, and test RF electronics and/or FPGA firmware as required by project needs.
Formulate long-term plans for engineering solutions, including development, documentation, deployment, and adherence to applicable compliance, reporting, and safety standards.
Evaluate the integration of engineering solutions within broader system architectures, ensuring proper documentation, testing, maintenance, and engineering updates are completed.
Determine technical objectives and approaches for advanced engineering problems, providing sound technical judgment and innovative solutions.
Plan for future applications of solutions by tracking and leveraging new developments in engineering technologies and methods.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams working on spacecraft payloads, satellite systems, ground control, embedded software, and cyber capabilities to deliver integrated solutions.
Represent the organization as a prime technical contact with internal stakeholders, customers, and government representatives, providing clear technical communication and presentations.
Provide technical leadership, guidance, and mentorship to less experienced engineers to support project execution and professional development.
Maintain strict confidentiality of sensitive and classified information in accordance with applicable policies and procedures.
Work safely and consistently follow established operating procedures, laboratory practices, and safety guidelines.
Perform other engineering duties as assigned to support evolving program and customer requirements.

Essential Skills

Comfort and proficiency with PCB layout and the design, development, and debugging of small circuitry used for sensing, digital data manipulation, and electro-mechanical control.
Hands-on integration and test (I&T) experience, including strong proficiency working with schematics and laboratory testing of electronics hardware and embedded systems.
Experience using logic analyzers and associated laboratory tools as primary debugging aids for electronic circuits and embedded platforms.
At least 3 years of professional, hands-on engineering experience (excluding internships or academic projects), with a maximum of approximately 710 years of experience for this role.
Experience with high-density circuit board design and implementation.
Demonstrated detailed and extensive technical expertise in applying engineering principles, concepts, theory, and practice to complex systems.
Ability to organize, plan, schedule, conduct, and coordinate engineering workloads to meet established deadlines and milestones.
Experience providing some level of project leadership, including coordinating tasks and contributing to technical direction.
Ability to quickly understand new concepts and technologies and apply them effectively in an evolving environment.
Strong communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills to interface effectively with other departments, customers, government representatives, and technical professionals.
Capability to represent the organization as a primary technical contact on projects and programs.
Ability to provide technical leadership and guidance to less experienced professionals.
Strict adherence to handling sensitive information with confidentiality and professionalism.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Bachelors degree, masters degree, or PhD in engineering or a related technical discipline from an accredited institution.
Typical experience guidelines: six or more years of progressive engineering experience with a bachelors degree, four or more years with a masters degree, or two or more years with a PhD; equivalent engineering experience may substitute for formal education.
Experience with satellite programs, including exposure to the design, integration, and test of satellite buses.
Basic understanding of launch and flight operations of space vehicles.
Experience designing, developing, and debugging small circuitry for sensing, digital data manipulation, and electro-mechanical control in space or defense-related applications.
Proficiency in the C programming language is highly desired for working with embedded systems.
Experience with RF circuitry and RF engineering principles is a plus.
Strongly desired experience with FPGA development, including firmware design, implementation, and verification.
Experience with software development in a Linux operating system environment is desired.
Familiarity with small satellite electronics, including power-constrained and highly integrated systems, is advantageous.
Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, innovation-focused environment that emphasizes creative problem solving and non-traditional engineering approaches.

Work EnvironmentThis position is based onsite in Herndon, VA, five days per week, within a 9/80 work schedule that provides every other Friday off. The role is embedded in a highly innovative group that operates with a startup-like culture while supporting large, complex defense and space programs.
