WHAT YOU WILL DO
- Full cycle PCB design including collecting requirements, schematic design, component selection, supervision or completion of layout, bring-up, test, debug, and system integration
- Conduct bring-up and design work on microcontrollers, ensuring seamless integration within the system
- Troubleshoot issues that span electrical and software boundaries, utilizing both lab equipment (Oscilloscopes, DMM, etc.) and basic software debugging tools}
ADDITIONAL LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES
- Work in a fast-paced environment supporting new developments, deployments, and customer operated hardware
- Perform power design, including development and integration of power management systems and components
- Develop payloads and subsystems (sensors, payload interfaces, power management, and networking)
- Create system interconnect diagrams and define wire harnesses that connect electronic equipment within a subsystem
- Collaborate closely with other electrical, mechanical, software, firmware, and test engineers to deliver fully functional, mission-critical products
- Conduct peer-level and cross-discipline design reviews
**
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS**
- Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent, with 3+ years of experience designing, testing, and troubleshooting complex system designs
