About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Design, develop, analyze, integrate, and test analog, digital, mixed-signal, RF, power, and embedded electronic systems
Design and develop ruggedized cable assemblies, harnesses, and interconnect solutions for harsh-environment and mission-critical applications
Define cable assembly requirements, including electrical performance, shielding, grounding, connector selection, routing, bend radius, strain relief, sealing, and environmental durability
Select cables, connectors, backshells, protective sleeving, conduit, and other interconnect components
Create and maintain schematics, wiring diagrams, cable assembly drawings, PCB layouts, interface documentation, bills of materials, and technical data packages
Perform circuit analysis, simulation, component selection, power analysis, worst-case analysis, and signal- or power-integrity assessments
Support hardware development from requirements and concept through design, prototyping, integration, verification, qualification, production, and field support
Collaborate with systems, mechanical, RF, optical, software, manufacturing, quality, test, and program management teams
Define electrical and mechanical interfaces, resolve technical issues, and meet system performance requirements
Develop and execute test plans, verification procedures, and acceptance criteria
Support hardware bring-up, troubleshooting, failure analysis, root-cause investigations, and corrective actions
Use oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, signal generators, network analyzers, power supplies, and data-acquisition systems
Participate in design, requirements, test-readiness, production-readiness, and customer technical reviews
Support configuration management, revision control, engineering change processes, and product lifecycle management
Work with manufacturing and suppliers to resolve production issues and improve cost, quality, reliability, manufacturability, and production readiness
Provide technical leadership, task ownership, or mentorship based on experience
Support occasional travel to customer, supplier, test, or field locations
