We are looking for a Sr Electrical Design Engineer to support advanced aerospace electronics development in Clearwater, Florida. This position focuses on circuit board design, troubleshooting, and verification for avionics-related products, with a strong emphasis on engineering rigor and compliance-driven development practices. The role combines hands-on technical analysis with documentation, test support, and collaboration across engineering, suppliers, and manufacturing teams.
Responsibilities:
- Develop analog and digital circuit board designs by interpreting technical requirements, selecting components, creating schematics, and supporting layout activities for aerospace applications.
- Perform board-level analysis and simulation to confirm performance, functionality, and alignment with product design objectives.
- Troubleshoot circuit board issues by isolating hardware faults, conducting root cause analysis, and recommending effective corrective actions.
- Support system-level integration efforts to verify that assembled boards operate correctly within the intended avionics platform.
- Review PCB layouts using industry-standard design tools such as Altium or Allegro and provide feedback to improve manufacturability and performance.
- Partner with internal manufacturing teams to assist with production testing, resolve technical issues on the floor, and strengthen test readiness.
- Create and maintain engineering documentation, including schematics, design records, and board-level test procedures.
- Research replacement parts and alternate components when materials become obsolete, ensuring continued product support and compliance.
- Contribute to structured development activities aligned with aerospace design assurance expectations, including DO-178C and DO-254 considerations.
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a closely related engineering discipline.
- At least 7 years of experience in circuit board design, preferably within aerospace or another highly regulated electronics environment.
- Background in designing and interpreting schematics, PCB layouts, and board-level hardware for complex electronic products.
- Experience troubleshooting circuit boards and identifying hardware-related failures through disciplined root cause analysis.
- Familiarity with aerospace standards and regulatory frameworks, including DO-254 and DO-178B/DO-178C.
- Knowledge of aerospace data and power bus architectures, microprocessor-based designs, and avionics-related hardware concepts.
- Strong analytical, written, and verbal communication skills, with the ability to share technical findings clearly.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications and standard engineering documentation practices.
